INTRODUCING PURE MODE AI and computational processing, switched off. Your photo, developed like film. Every photo your iPhone takes is processed before you ever see it: frames fused, shadows lifted, skies improved, grain scrubbed away. It's why everyday photos look so good — and it's all still here. Pure is for when you want the other thing. Lumen takes a single frame and develops it right inside the app, the way a darkroom develops a negative — classical tools, a fixed recipe, the same treatment every shot. No AI. No computational processing. What comes out looks like film, not a feed. Honest grain. Highlights that roll off instead of clipping. Shadows that stay dark when the night was dark. • Live Pure Preview — see the developed look in the viewfinder before you shoot • Developed from one untouched frame, straight off the sensor • 10-bit HEIC with real HDR, or JPEG when you need it • Keep the RAW negative alongside the finished photo • Manual controls, exposure brackets and focus brackets all work while Pure is armed • Shoots in Semi-Manual and Manual on optical lenses, at 12 MP ALSO NEW FULL JPEG SUPPORT Up to 48 MP, in brackets and in Pure Mode, with HDR built in. FILTERS + RAW, TOGETHER Shoot with a creative filter and keep the untouched RAW. Both saved, every time. MACRO FOCUS BRACKETING Focus stacking now works up close — tiny subjects, sharp from front to back. MORE DETAIL IN AUTO Auto now captures at 24 MP, including cropped aspect ratios. REFINED EVERYWHERE Better HDR in every format, brighter HDR playback in the in-app gallery, and dozens of fixes across capture, stacking, and saving.

Lumen Camera 1.2.0 — ProRes has arrived, and it never runs out of room. Our biggest update yet: pro-grade ProRes video, capture straight to an external drive, and full native support for 13 language. Here's everything new. ■ ProRes 422 HQ The codec used on film sets, now in your pocket. Record 4K ProRes in Apple Log or HDR and give your footage the color depth serious grading demands. Your videos, ready for the edit bay. ■ Never run out of space again Photos and videos can now be captured directly to an external drive. Plug in a USB-C SSD and shoot past your iPhone's storage — high-frame-rate 4K ProRes streams to fast drives in real time, and RAW shooters can fill terabytes, not gigabytes. Everything you capture shows up right in the Lumen gallery, so your drive feels like part of the camera. ■ Ciao, Italia! Lumen now speaks Italian — that's 13 languages, fully native, from the capture screen to the last settings toggle. ■ Refined, everywhere A redesigned gallery, a smarter settings sheet with the controls you reach for most, a new What's New tour after every update, and dozens of fixes that make the whole app feel faster and more polished. We're building Lumen with one goal: a single camera for every photography and videography workflow — state-of-the-art capture tools with the depth of a professional camera, in an interface as polished as the one Apple ships. Thank you for being part of that journey. If Lumen has earned a place in your kit, a review means the world to a small team. And if something's not right, reach out from Settings — we love hearing from you. Shoot something beautiful.

Two ways to capture what a single shot can't. Exposure & Focus Bracketing are here - and they merge right on your iPhone. • Exposure Bracketing - one press fires a burst across exposures, then stacks them into a single photo with every highlight and shadow intact. True HDR, no blown skies, no crushed blacks. • Focus Bracketing - sweep focus front to back and fuse the frames into one shot that's sharp edge to edge. Dial it in with the Set Range picker, or let Smart Mode read the scene for you. • Your shot, your call - review each burst in the new stacking menu and pick the keepers. Originals are always saved. • HDR that actually pops - preserved end to end, right down to the in-app gallery. • Plus a refreshed, more polished settings design throughout. Update and see the difference in your very next shot.

Sharper focus and steadier footage, now without compromise. • Focus Peaking & Focus Loupe now work in Auto mode, so you can nail critical focus without switching to Manual. • Video stabilization now runs alongside Focus Peaking and creative filters, keep your shots smooth while you frame the perfect one. • Smoother camera switching, refined haptics, plus other polish. Thanks for shooting with us. More coming soon.

Landscape and Cinematic improvements. • Better landscape shooting across the board: photos and videos now save exactly as you framed them, in every mode — Photo, Video, Portrait, Cinematic. • Improved handling of landscape recording in Cinematic mode, including the timer and controls staying right where they should while you film. • Smoother mode switching in landscape, with a handful of smaller refinements throughout. Lumen Camera is built obsessively, one detail at a time. If you're enjoying it, a rating or review genuinely helps us keep going.

We rebuilt the zoom bar from scratch: an infinite precision wheel with haptic detents and pro focal-length markings. Try it once — you'll feel the difference. Also new: • Full support for German, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian — Lumen Camera now speaks 12 languages. • Refined hardware shutter: volume buttons and Camera Control capture exactly when you expect. • Every setting now applies instantly — no restart needed. • Smoother haptics throughout, tuned for fast scrubbing.

RAW workflow upgrades and reliability improvements. Dual Save — Save a separate HEIF copy alongside every RAW capture. Both land in Photos as independent entries you can edit, share, and post without touching the original RAW. Toggle on in Settings → Format & Quality. RAW to App Storage — App Storage now supports RAW formats (ProRAW, ProRAW Max, and Bayer RAW). Keep RAW captures in Lumen's private storage and export to Photos later with the DNG + HEIF stack preserved. Bug Fixes and Improvements. Thanks for using Lumen and for the detailed feedback that drives every release. The goal: one manual camera that handles every workflow, every mode.

Live preview is now free for everyone, try every mode before you commit. • Portrait, Cinematic, and Manual exposure unlocked in preview • Pro features clearly marked across the camera • Faster launch and other polish

Refreshed screenshots and minor improvements.

Redesigned manual zoom controls with per-lens chips and a polished, snappier feel. Smoother transitions between Video/Cinematic and Portrait. "Reset to Defaults" in Settings now also resets photo aspect ratio. Plus multiple manual-mode reliability fixes and stability improvements across zoom, recording, and mode transitions.

Fixes an issue where Apple ProRAW and ProRAW Max captures could prevent photos from being deleted from app gallery after capture. Improves RAW file handling overall. Updated Screenshots.
