Manual controls aids
Lumina provides some aids like Focus Peaking and Exposure Clipping Detection. 

Enhanced RAW shoots
Our iPhones can take great raw shoot but auto settings generally prefers the lowest shutter speed at cost of iso. This is great when you request a JPEG or HEIC shoot, since it's noise reduction algorithm is very effective but isn't very good when you take an unedited RAW.
To improve noise ratio, Lumina will recalculate exposure to lower ISO value and keeping an acceptable slow shutter speed. Like other modes, also in RAW, Lumina analyzes hands and scene steadiness to calculate the maximum possible shutter speed value.


Bracketing Mode
Take a true bracket like on your DSLR camera. Lumina will keep ISO for every shoot!
You will get a 3 shoot bracket with a range form -3EV to +3EV. If possible ISO settings will be keeped to give a blend-friendly result.


Selfie Mode
Lumina can automatically detect when is a selfie scene and will enable Selfie Mode.
In Selfie Mode, Lumina will take a couple of shoots and select the best.
Lumina's Selfie Mode uses Apple's Vision api, that can valutate shoots based on face expression, open/closed eyes, people smiles and other euristics.

## Lumina Reviews in United States

### ***** "Absolutely perfect"
Free, lightweight app that gives you everything you need:
- Manual focus
- Manual shutter speed
- Manual ISO
- Exposure bracketing
and more
-- KingLuf, 2024-12-12

### ***** "Almost perfect"
After Halide completely failed to live up to the hype, this is exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted manual focus and the ability to disable post-processing, and this app comes through with both of those perfectly. And for free?!

If it had a widget so I could launch it from the camera button on my lock screen, it very well might replace the stock camera app for me.

Extremely minor flaws I don’t know how else to report:
• It would be nice if the UI text rotated when holding the phone in landscape mode to indicate that rotation lock isn’t on and the photos will be saved with the correct orientation.
•  The help text in the SAVING settings has a typo (“compatible” is misspelled as “compatibile”)
• The info sheet for images you have already taken has “focal length” misspelled as “lenght”
-- Klikini, 2024-12-04

### ***** "No ads, no nothing"
It’s very refreshing to for once be able to use a camera app without freemium or ads. The app is great, except for one thing: the exposure time only goes up to one second. This makes nighttime photography more or less impossible. Aside from that, keep up the good work dude!
-- KinneticSlammer, 2024-12-01

### ****- "Apple literally couldn’t do this for over 20 years."
iOS 18 still has no manual focus. Instantly 5 stars for this app! Minus one - Zoom not working. Can’t zoom like normal camera. Can only change lens.
-- Preston.SR, 2024-11-28

### ***** "So touched"
Works flawlessly! May I request a simple Timelapse function, no need to merge into movie, just automatically take photos for a period.
-- alalaka, 2024-11-13

### ***** "My new favorite free manual camera app"
Loving it so far. Wish 0.5x/1x/2x changes can be made by touching only once, not twice like “change mag” > “choose mag”. Otherwise perfect for my current need, and thank you so much for releasing it for free 🙏🏻
-- yet.another.steve, 2024-08-12

### ***** "Just incredible"
So simple to use. I found it at Reddit because I was looking for an app that could do what this exactly does!! I had my doubts about how good would work because this kind of apps uses to be difficult to use, or maybe they have a lot of annoying ads everywhere, or they are just paid. 
Thank you so much for take your time and as i read here, I would pay for this too :)
-- RolannC02, 2024-05-10

### ***** "I would have paid!"
Very nice of this developer to provide these crucial controls for free. I still don’t understand why Apple doesn’t provide manual controls. Thank you so much!
-- Dekabyte, 2024-04-08

### ***** "Best non subscription camera"
I love all the features and ease of use. The only thing I would like is if I was able to leave the light on the flashlight. To see how the picture would look before taking it.
-- 5749100, 2024-03-31

### ***** "Perfect manual camera app"
Simple replacement for stock camera app that includes exactly what I want (manual focus/exposure/etc) and nothing else. Completely free with no ads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, unnecessary permissions, or tracking.
