Description
NightCap Camera is a powerful app that takes amazing low light and night photos, videos and 4K time lapse. Long exposure produces beautiful photos in low light and unique Astronomy modes capture the stars, Northern Lights (Aurora) and more!
Do you find your photos and videos dark and grainy in low light? NightCap will help by unlocking the full potential of your iPhone or iPad's camera.
AI camera control makes it easy by automatically setting optimum focus and exposure for a brighter, clearer shot. All you need to do is hold steady and tap the shutter. If you prefer manual control then instant gesture based adjustment is always available, and special camera modes give you DSLR like results. You can even shoot photos, videos and time lapse in black and white if you want to.
Try Long Exposure mode for amazing motion blur effects and reduced image noise in low light. NightCap has an ISO Boost feature that allows 4x higher ISO than any other app, producing much brighter low light photos with low noise in Long Exposure mode!
Light Trails mode preserves moving lights - ideal for moving traffic at night, fireworks or light painting.
These modes are stunning when combined with HD or 4K time lapse!
There are 4 dedicated astrophotography camera modes. Stars Mode is ideal for a starry sky or Northern / Southern Lights (Aurora), or leave your device capturing in Star Trails Mode and watch the stars paint circles in the sky! There are also modes for easy photography of the International Space Station (ISS) and meteors (shooting stars).

Ratings and Reviews
Needs to support saving as DNG file
This app is great for low light photography but unfortunately it doesn’t support saving images in the DNG format. This is the cell phone equivalent to a DSLR’s RAW format. Saving in this format would allow users to have far greater freedom to enhance and pull out more details than a TIFF file allows, as a TIFF file has to undergo a permanently damaging conversion of the RAW file before saving.
The best night/long exposure app
I’ve tried several other slow shutter apps but keep coming back to NightCap Camera. It’s the best.
Will not focus with my phone
This app will not focus, I tried the iPhone camera app compared to this nightcap, iPhone app will focus and get a clear picture this I cannot get to focus in either manual or auto. I want my money back
