Optika – Pro Manual Camera2.2.3 - App Store

Optika is a manual camera for iPhone with direct control over focus, exposure, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance.

Use it when you want more control over the photo instead of leaving every decision to the automatic camera.

Natural Mode reduces the heavily processed look common in smartphone photos and keeps colors, details, and textures closer to what you see.

MANUAL CAMERA CONTROLS

. Adjustable aperture (iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max only)
. Manual shutter speed and ISO
. Manual focus with focus peaking and loupe
. Manual white balance with Kelvin adjustment
. Exposure compensation
. Separate focus and exposure points
. Direct lens selection

RAW AND PHOTO FORMATS

Capture photos in JPEG, HEIF, RAW, and Apple ProRAW depending on your iPhone.

Optika keeps the selected physical lens active instead of automatically switching cameras in difficult lighting conditions.

TOOLS FOR SHOOTING

. RGB and luminance histograms
. Grid
. Horizon level
. Focus peaking
. Focus loupe
. Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets
. Camera Control support

Natural Mode is designed for photographers who prefer a less processed image and want more control over the final result.

Optika does not collect your photos or personal data.

Note: Available features and Natural Mode results depend on the camera hardware of your iPhone.
