ProCamera. Manual Camera + HDR 4+

Awesome Camera App

I have been a photographer for a long time (60 years) starting with a 127-size roll film camera as a boy and eventually using pro grade Canon dSLR cameras and lenses, and state-of-the-art Olympus mirrorless gear. So I’m no stranger to all of the settings, options, etc. that are often to be considered when shooting. Fast forward to today’s iPhone 11 models and I now have a pocket sized camera with lots of built-in still and video capabilities. ProCamera flawlessly expands on this awesome technology by enabling a robust set of the creative tools, options and settings that I came to love with modern digital camera systems in the same pocketable device. Things like shooting in RAW mode, setting the aperture, focus and exposure locking, display grids, live histograms and so much more are now available when using the iPhone (the most portable camera platform today thanks to the ProCamera app. Augment these fantastic capabilities with the ProCamera in-app purchase of the HDR and LowLight+ features and you’ll have an incredibly powerful still/video camera - so powerful that I leave all the dSLR/mirrorless gear at home when traveling, around where I live, etc. The add-on HDR capability is well worth its minimal cost and rivals what can be produced with the dSLR/mirrorless gear either in camera or with special software tools. I cannot rate a camera (or any other type) app any higher than ProCamera. Its developers are the best!!

Pro Camera 16.0

I have been a professional photographer for over 41 years starting out using canon and then using Pro Nikon cameras. So when it comes to camera settings I know them inside and out. I have purchased all the in app features like Raw Exposure bracketing, Auto Perspective correct, Private Lightbox, San Fran filter pack , food filter pack, Low light plus and vividHDR they are all worth the price paid. This is by far the best Pro Camera app in the App Store. I have been using this when it first came out on the App Store for several years now and it just keeps getting better every year. Now with the iPhone 14 pro max 48 megapixel camera it’s just as good as the pro dslr cameras. Now I can go on vacation and only have to bring my iPhone 14 pro max and take outstanding photos and videos using Pro Camera 16.0. I highly recommend this app to everyone. Since using the new beta Pro Camera 16.0 app one feature that has been a huge help is the auto perspective correction feature that I have been using for Real Estate Photography no more distorted pictures just a one tap solution and your done. Every feature is a plus especially taking pictures in Low light. This app definitely rates higher than 5 stars.

Glad they updated it to iPad, but auto adjustments horrible now

UPDATE: I was so excited when I saw they updated it to iPad and you can actually turn to landscape no issues and have the entire screen. But, now the auto adjustments are HORRIBLE! It used to get it right most of the time and I’d have to make little adjustments once in a while. Now it’s always waaaay too dark or waaaay too light. If I try to increase lighting to help it, then it’s waaaay too light and whitewashes everything. It’s crazy! It’s really frustrating using it like this!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: This app was great! I absolutely loved it to be able to shoot professional quality photos with my phone. However, sometimes I want to shoot landscape mode. With the app previously, I was able to turn my phone and get the app to go landscape. It sometimes was a little touchy and would turn the whole app to go vertical again, but it usually wasn’t an issue. Now, it’s so touchy! I can only get it to go landscape if I am VERY slow about it and at a slight angle. Then when it’s landscape you have to have the phone flat. If you want to take it with the phone at an angle, the app instantly turns to be vertical again. It’s seriously annoying! There should be a way to lock it in vertical or landscape and then unlock it when you want. That seems simple! I also wish they had a way to e recording video and restart so I didn’t have to create multiple videos and piece them together or cut out things.

Thank you for your comment. Please contact us via the customer service option in the app with more detail, so we can learn more about your experience. We are sorry to hear about issues with exposure. One ad hoc recommendation would be to activate Exposure circle and move it to the desired spot in the scene. We are looking forward to receiving your message.
