ProCamera v18.2 introduces powerful new features like Video Pause, Half-Press Lock Options, Custom Launch Settings, and an enhanced Portrait Mode for quicker and better captures<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

This major ProCamera update puts creative control at your fingertips \u2013 just in time for the holiday season!<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”62789″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

PAUSE A VIDEO RECORDING<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n

No more piecing together multiple clips: with iOS 18, you can now finally pause and resume video recordings. After you started filming, you will now see a “Pause” button as a new option (see screenshot). After pausing, you can either resume filming by tapping the round record button \u2013 or stop and save the clip by tapping the square stop button.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

LOCK OPTIONS VIA CAMERA CONTROL<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n

Go beyond basic AE\/AF locking with ProCamera\u2019s new feature for the Camera Control. Lock your preferred combination of camera settings with a simple half-press of the Camera button of the iPhone 16 generation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”62791″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n

Lightly double-press the Camera Button on the side of your iPhone to find the new “LOCK” option in the menu. Confirm this option to specify which camera values you want to lock with a half-press. For example, choose the “F\/E\/WB” option to lock Focus, Exposure and White Balance with a half press; or select “F” to lock only focus while allowing the camera to adjust Exposure and White Balance automatically for each photo.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/em> Paired with Rapid Fire, ProCamera empowers you to capture a series of perfectly consistent shots via Camera Control \u2014 every time.<\/p>\n

With a bit of practice, you can half-press to lock your desired settings, fully press the camera button at the right moment to take one or multiple photos, and then return to the half-press to retain the locked values. This allows you to take photos with the same settings whenever interesting subjects appear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

LAUNCH SETTINGS<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n
Introducing Launch Settings because every photographer is unique: Tailor ProCamera to your individual shooting style by configuring how the app launches.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To activate this feature, go to Settings > Launch Settings and save your current camera configuration as the new default. In case you later want to change this start-up configuration, adjust the desired setting(s) on the capture screen, then return to the Launch Settings page to save the new setup as your default. Finding the perfect configuration for you can be an iterative process, so take your time and try different setups. If needed, you can restore the app\u2019s original configuration using the \u2018Restore Factory Defaults\u2019 button.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LIGHTBOX IN LOCK SCREEN CAMERA<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n
\n

You can now store photos and videos directly to Lightbox or Private Lightbox when opening ProCamera from the Lock Screen.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/em> To quickly change the save location right on the capture screen, swipe from the preview thumbnail toward the middle of the screen. A menu will appear, allowing you to switch the save location for your next capture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PORTRAIT MODE IMPROVEMENTS<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n
\n
We have improved highlight rendering in portraits with high dynamic range.
\nAlso, on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, you can now use digital zoom and switch lenses more quickly while in Portrait Mode.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
