With the help of the application you can take professional photos in manual mode, which includes the following settings: exposure, shutter speed, light sensitivity, focus and others. In addition, the program has a set of tools for photo and video editing. For example, adding filters, changing the depth of portrait photos, creating animated 3D photos etc. The program is aimed at the experienced user, so beginners should first look at the guide on the official website of the developer.

The app supports additional accessories, such as external monitors that connect using Lightning-to-HDMI/VGA adapters or a remote control that connects via Bluetooth.
Slow Shutter Cam

There are three main modes available in the app: motion blur, light trail and low light. You can also control the strength of the blur and freeze, adjust ISO, and view results in real time.

I would like to say a few words for last. The iPhone camera itself is quite a powerful tool for photo and video shooting. This is proved by the fact that some moviemakers, like Sean Baker or Steven Spielberg, shoot movies and music videos on their own iPhones!
