Description

NightCap Camera is a powerful app that takes amazing low light and night photos, videos and 4K time lapse. Long exposure produces beautiful photos in low light and unique Astronomy modes capture the stars, Northern Lights (Aurora) and more!

Do you find your photos and videos dark and grainy in low light? NightCap will help by unlocking the full potential of your iPhone or iPad's camera.

AI camera control makes it easy by automatically setting optimum focus and exposure for a brighter, clearer shot. All you need to do is hold steady and tap the shutter. If you prefer manual control then instant gesture based adjustment is always available, and special camera modes give you DSLR like results. You can even shoot photos, videos and time lapse in black and white if you want to.

Try Long Exposure mode for amazing motion blur effects and reduced image noise in low light. NightCap has an ISO Boost feature that allows 4x higher ISO than any other app, producing much brighter low light photos with low noise in Long Exposure mode!

Light Trails mode preserves moving lights - ideal for moving traffic at night, fireworks or light painting.

These modes are stunning when combined with HD or 4K time lapse!

There are 4 dedicated astrophotography camera modes. Stars Mode is ideal for a starry sky or Northern / Southern Lights (Aurora), or leave your device capturing in Star Trails Mode and watch the stars paint circles in the sky! There are also modes for easy photography of the International Space Station (ISS) and meteors (shooting stars).

The real Lach

v9.9.1

Much better during the day

Compared to the 30s native iPhone photos, I’m finding NightCap to be terrible in low light. Details that are apparent in the native iPhone camera shots, just get completely washed out and lost in NightCap. The Startrails mode seems quite reasonable providing you don’t want any ground details. If you want this for astronomy photos, it really isn’t very good. However, it does do some excellent day time long exposure photos and you can get some interesting results - the long exposure mode can make moving objects/people disappear from the photo with enough time and the light trails gives interesting shots and could be excellent for lighting photography - for that, it’s worth the money but for Stars, you’re better off taking multiple 30 second photos with the iPhone and stacking with something like Sequator on the PC.

Pretty disappointed

This app says it can do things and in most cases it fails. Very disappointed. Next time I’ll use a real camera.

v9.8.1

Disappointing

If you plan on taking an important shot where you don’t have time to muck about, this software is not for you. I’d gladly accept a refund I cannot see that I would use this app much.
