Let’s be honest: Carrying a “serious camera” around can be frustratingly uncomfortable. DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are large, bulky and noticeable. If you have ever taken your dedicated camera with you on vacation or even a short day trip, then you know what I mean.
You can use the camera in your pocket to solve this problem. Smartphone cameras offer a number of advantages. They are discreet, easy to use, integrated with editing software, and take high-quality pictures.
Even the best smartphone cameras have limitations. For photographers who want to create portfolio-worthy photos, this is a major problem. The native iPhone camera app is a good example. It lets you adjust a few settings and, depending on the model of your iPhone, gives you access to various lenses and filters. But here’s what does notoffer.
- Manual Focusing
- Shutter speed adjustment
- ISO Adjustments
- White balance adjustments
- RAW capture is only available on certain iPhone Pro models.
The iPhone’s native camera app does not allow you to do everything that a photographer who is passionate about capturing high-quality images should be doing. If you want the convenience of iPhone photography, but also manual control, there is another option. You can switch to a third-party app that will let you achieve your full potential as a iPhone photographer.
The Snap Pro Camera App from MIOPS is the perfect solution.
Snap Pro Camera lets you control the iPhone camera like a DSLR. It also offers a variety of creative modes, including Motion Blur, Light Trail and Crowd Removal. Even if you have never used a manual app before, it shouldn’t take you longer than five minutes to get your bearings. It took me 10 minutes, but that was only because I had too much fun playing with the long exposure modes!
