HiFi Camera

Read full description

Natural, detailed photos from true RAW, without the over-processed look. HiFi Camera is a manual camera for iPhone built around HiRAW, our own RAW development engine. It captures one native sensor RAW and develops it into a photo that looks like what you saw: real texture, gentle highlights and honest colour. No AI, no added sharpening, and no merged frames painting in detail that wasn't there. HIRAW - Develops a single native sensor RAW with HiRAW's own colour science and film-like tone - Colour comes from your camera's own DNG profile, so tungsten-lit interiors stay warm and true - A film-like highlight shoulder rolls off bright skies and lamps gently instead of clipping them - Wide-gamut Display P3 output for rich, accurate colour on iPhone displays - Every HiRAW photo is saved as a HEIC with the original DNG kept alongside, so you can re-edit it later in your favourite RAW editor - The thumbnail appears right away and saving finishes in the background, so you can keep shooting MANUAL, MADE SIMPLE - ISO, shutter speed, white balance and manual focus on one ruler - A live exposure meter keeps you on target in full manual - AE/AF lock, exposure compensation and tap to focus - Zoom and adjust settings with Camera Control, or pinch to switch lenses as you zoom PRO TOOLS - Focus peaking and zebra stripes - Live histogram with highlight and shadow warnings - Level indicator and grid overlays - Aspect ratios, self-timer, flash and macro control - Customisable quick buttons: touch and hold any top button to choose what it does FORMATS - HiRAW, RAW (DNG), Apple ProRAW and HEIC - Up to 48 MP where your iPhone and lens support it - An option to prioritise faster shooting for quick HEIC bursts BUILT-IN PHOTO BROWSER - Your shots are collected in a HiFi Camera album - Swipe through photos and check capture details: camera, lens, ISO, shutter, exposure and white balance - Favourite and share without leaving the app Optional location tagging adds where each photo was taken. Your photos stay in your own Photo Library. HiRAW needs a camera that provides native Bayer RAW. Available formats, resolutions and controls depend on your iPhone model and the lens in use.
