Pick a look and shoot the whole roll in it: • Polaroid: Warm, faded instant film • iPhone 1: Lo-fi 2007 phone cam • G7X: Clean vlog-cam pop • Disposable: Flashy 35mm throwaway • 35mm: Grainy film stock Shake to develop, or let your shots develop in some time like real film.

Better photos from your iPhone — no f-stops required. The camera is rebuilt around Auto Optimize: one primary button by the shutter sets every dial for you, field looks sit on a right-edge rail, and full manual control slides out from the left. ProTune AI Camera is a field camera for photographers who want the recipe AND the dial position. Auto Optimize reads the scene, picks the right photo recipe, and writes real capture dials on your iPhone — shutter, ISO, EV, white balance, focus and zoom. Not filters. Real dials. Your last photo is always one tap away, and you can dictate the scene with the mic. WHAT AUTO OPTIMIZE SETS • Shutter / exposure duration • ISO • EV bias • White balance (temp & tint) • Focus lock • Zoom / lens and torch, when the scene calls for it EVERY DIAL, EXPLAINED Teach Mode shows which recipe was chosen, which dials moved and why — an instructor over your shoulder, not a chat wall. REAL DIALS, NOT FILTERS Field looks are capture grades applied live in the viewfinder — golden hour, mono ink, teal orange and more — with intensity you control. Name one out loud or type it and it's applied on-device. Never beauty filters. Never sky replacement. SELFIE MODE Front camera gets the same treatment: face-tuned Auto Optimize and fixed capture, so self-portraits get real exposure decisions too. FREE PEEK VS PRO • Free: browse every recipe, live viewfinder, 1 Auto Optimize per day • AI Camera Pro: unlimited Auto Optimize, manual dials, full Teach Mode, interactive field checklists $7.99/month or $59.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions via Apple In-App Purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://photo.grepawk.com/privacy BUILT FOR THE FIELD Recipes come from classic field technique — panning, motion control, HDR, focus discipline, low angle — each with dials, steps and checklists.
