Camera1 - Black & White Camera

Camera1 brings manual shooting techniques from the film era to mobile devices. Rediscover the joy of shooting Black & White. Whether you're an experienced photographer or a beginner, Camera1 will help you shoot in Black and White like no other app.

DEVELOP YOUR CREATIVITY
Learn to "see" in Black & White through Camera1 unique simultaneous contrast and exposure adjustments. Explore the infinite black and white image possibilities in real-time, such as high-key/low-key right in the viewfinder, before thaking the shot. Use the Zen mode to focus all your creative attention on the picture, and not the camera or technique.

TAKE CONTROL
Take control of the camera, with manual overrides of exposure and focus. Super easy access to focus lock using the manual focusing slider, for ultra-fast shooting - as the camera won’t need to re-focus between shots.

PROFESSIONAL OUTPUT
Camera1 takes full advantage of your camera hardware and saves in a variety of different file formats, including JPEG, TIFF, RAW & ProRAW / DNG, allowing for maximum editing flexibility in applications like Photoshop and Lightroom later in your workflow. Advanced iOS image processing such as Deep Fusion and Smart HDR is used on supported devices.

Live histograms, flash, grid views and a range of manual controls allow you to get the perfect shot, every time.
