Pro Cam is a camera for people who want the negative, not the filter. It shoots true sensor RAW, gives you real manual control, and develops every photo on the phone with a full RAW editor. Nothing is ever baked into your original. SHOOT • One button per real lens, labelled with its true equivalent focal length (ultra wide, wide, telephoto), plus a classic 50 mm framing. No digital zoom, ever: what you frame is what the sensor records. • Bayer RAW and Apple ProRAW as DNG, or HEIF, JPEG and TIFF. • Manual focus with a focus-distance and depth-of-field readout. The control is violet in auto and turns blue the moment you take over; tap to hand it back. • Shutter priority with a live ISO readout. Tap the ISO to lock it. • Press and hold the shutter to lock exposure, recompose, release to shoot, like the half-press on a camera. • Live histogram with highlight protection in auto, and an exposure gain preference if you like your negatives a little under. • Daylight and tungsten white balance, self-timer, interval shooting for time lapses, flash only when you ask for it. • A subject mask is saved next to every photo (LiDAR or on-device machine learning), ready for selective edits. • Open the camera from Camera Control, the Lock Screen, Control Center or the Action button, and shoot with the phone still locked. DEVELOP • Auto Development: pick a preset and every shot is developed with it the moment it is taken. Star the preset you want as default. • After each shot the frame freezes and the developed photo fades in, so you judge the picture, not the preview. • A complete RAW editor on the phone: exposure and tone, tone curve, film simulations and LUTs, colour grading wheels with a vectorscope, hue and saturation curves, denoise, lens corrections, crop, straighten and rotate, with per-control reset and a full edit history. • Everything is non-destructive. Edits live in Adobe-compatible XMP sidecars next to the DNG, so Lightroom, Camera Raw and Bridge read them, and your RAW file is never modified. KEEP • A fast gallery of your shots, newest first, with search, sorting and the last six frames always one tap away from the viewfinder. • Optional iCloud library: your gallery, edits and masks sync to Lighthouse on Mac and iPad, where you can keep working on the same negatives. • Share the whole gallery privately with another iCloud account, read-only or read-write. • Save to Files, share, copy and paste development settings between photos. Your photos stay yours: analysis, masks and search run on the device.
