Fexer is a professional manual camera for iPhone โ€” the controls of a dedicated camera, real-time color grading, and cinematic shooting modes, all in your pocket. MANUAL CONTROLS โ€ข ISO (25โ€“6400), shutter speed (1/8000โ€“30s), and manual focus, each with an auto toggle โ€ข White balance in Kelvin (3200โ€“7500K) plus tint, with 7 presets โ€ข AE lock, four metering modes, and an EV compensation strip SHOOTING MODES โ€ข Photo โ€” AEB bracketing, RAW / RAW+JPEG, LUT baked at capture โ€ข Video โ€” 1080p/4K in HEVC, H.264, or ProRes, with GPS metadata โ€ข Long Exposure โ€” multi-frame blending up to 60 frames โ€ข Burst, Self-Timer, and Timelapse โ€ข Anamorphic โ€” 2x horizontal desqueeze with a 2.39:1 crop guide โ€ข Night and Portrait modes REAL-TIME COLOR GRADING 21 film-inspired looks across Film, Genre, and Mood categories โ€” applied live in the viewfinder and baked into every capture. Includes classic film emulations like Portra 400, Tri-X, and Velvia alongside cinematic and moody grades. VIEWFINDER TOOLS Grid overlays, RGB/Luma/Parade histogram, waveform monitor, vectorscope, focus peaking, zebra stripes, false color, and an electronic level โ€” the same tools you'd expect from a dedicated cinema camera, live in your viewfinder. NON-DESTRUCTIVE EDITING Adjust exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights, saturation, vibrance, warmth, sharpness, vignette, crop, and rotation after the fact โ€” your original capture is never touched. Fexer collects no data, has no ads, and makes no network requests. Everything happens on your device. Requires a physical iPhone โ€” the camera does not work in the Simulator.

GR8 Cam turns your iPhone into a compact camera with a photographer's controls and a finished photo every time. It captures 48MP RAW, develops it with the phone's sharpening and AI enhancement switched off, and applies the look you chose, live in the viewfinder. IMAGE CONTROL Fifteen looks: Standard, Vivid, Monotone, Soft Monotone, Hard Monotone, Hi-Contrast B&W, Positive Film, Negative Film, Bleach Bypass, Retro, Cross Processing, Cinema (Yellow), Cinema (Green), Film and Mono Film. Each has its own adjustments, -4 to +4: saturation, hue, high/low key, contrast, highlight and shadow contrast, sharpness, clarity, shading, grain effect and grain size. Monochrome looks add colour filter effects and toning. Reset takes any look back to factory. Standard, Positive Film and Retro are free, with all their adjustments. TWO FOCAL LENGTHS 28mm or 40mm equivalent, 3:2, both cropped from the main camera so switching is instant. The viewfinder shows exactly the frame you will get. WHITE BALANCE LIKE A REAL CAMERA Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, four fluorescents, Tungsten, CTE, measured Manual and a Kelvin dial, plus an amber-blue / green-magenta compensation grid. Presets lock the camera so colour holds from shot to shot. HIGHLIGHT DIFFUSION FILTER A switchable bloom on the bright parts of the frame for a softer, filmic highlight roll-off. D-RANGE Highlight and shadow correction applied in the RAW develop. RECIPES Save a whole look, white balance included, and recall it in a tap. A CAMERA'S SCREEN Mode, look, white balance and focal length along the top. Live aperture, shutter speed and ISO along the bottom. Tap to focus. Subject tracking for faces, people and pets. The volume buttons fire the shutter. PRIVATE No account, no network, no data collection. Photos go straight to your library as HEIC with full EXIF. Standard, Positive Film and Retro, 28mm, Auto WB and Shade with the compensation grid, D-Range and one recipe slot are free. A single one-time purchase unlocks everything else. No subscription.
