STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Shoot is a fast and highly capable mobile phone camera with a clear and clutter free user interface design optimized for one-handed use and simple, yet powerful, full manual control over camera lenses, exposure settings, post processing and JPEG/RAW output modes. The Shoot user interface and workflow intend to be fresh, clean and intuitive - regardless of photo experience - and be a perfect fit for anyone interested in street photography and a sudden photoshoot when mobile.
In Shoot, you have direct access to individual camera lenses and choose whether you want to use a rear facing ultra wide, wide, normal or telephoto lens or front facing selfie cameras (different zoom level or field of view), depending on what lenses and sensors are available in your phone. The lens and sensor combination typically determines if you get a deep or shallow depth of field (with a 'bokeh' effect, or blurry background), but importantly also at what photo quality. Enable the live histogram and toggle the highlight clipping warning on (sometimes referred to as Zebra display) to catch and mitigate over exposure in your subject.
Photo quality and sizes are maximized by default and photo post processing is neutral, preparing your photos for editing and avoiding the over processed output of many other cameras (often HDR looking with unnatural shadows and highlights). You can also enable a low processing JPEG mode to minimize edge sharpening and noise reduction algorithms to further optimize for future editing.
CAMERA FEATURES
• Full manual exposure control: manual exposure time/manual shutter speed (ME) or shutter priority, manual ISO sensitivity, manual focusing distance (MF) and exposure compensation with exposure value (EV) steps
• Clean and minimalistic user interface optimized for one-handed ease of use and settings precision
• Live histogram with real time highlight clipping warning (Zebra display variant)
• Direct access to individual camera lenses (avoiding automatic cropping/zooming or sudden switching between camera lenses with the related quality and parallax issues) - even hidden ones like for example the Face ID infrared camera in Google Pixel 4 XL
• Full size high definition photos - no downsampling or limitation in the app (photos as delivered from camera module and firmware)
• Minimal post processing setting and manual white balance (MWB), on a pseudo Kelvin scale going from a cold to warm color tint
• Detailed information on onboard camera modules, CMOS or CCD sensors, capability support and lenses
• Continuously updated exposure details: shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, aperture and focusing distance - in both manual and auto mode (AE, AF and AWB)
• Fill-in light (screen flash) for front facing cameras in low light selfie situations
• RAW output mode (.dng file format)
• High definition (HD) video recording with manual exposure settings, focusing distance and fill-in light/torch
• Automatic geotagging with GPS or network location accuracy (optional, but very convenient when managing images)
• Single, timer or burst photos drive mode
• Manual focusing distance (MF) with continuous
• Toggle for old-school square framing guidelines/grid for easier composition and leveling
• Very small camera app size
• Point and shoot camera mode: auto exposure (AE), auto focusing (AF) and auto white balance (AWB) - just Shoot!
Please note that the manual exposure time/manual shutter speed (ME), manual focusing distance (MF) and manual white balance (MWB) capability is not supported by all phones (due to manufacturer policies). This app will however enable all the full manual camera features your phone supports and assist you in that beautiful pro shot!
Happy photoshoot!
