Camera Features

Modes
Obscura 3 has been designed around 5 distinct camera modes:
Photo - simple, fast performance
Pro Photo - maximum control
Depth - portraits & depth data
Live Photo - for.. Live Photos
Video - video capture with pro controls
Exposure
To adjust exposure, just touch your thumb to the Exposure Button and move it in a circle, like turning a dial. Couldn’t be simpler and it feels great. And you can just tap the button to instantly reset the exposure bias.
Focus
Just like exposure, drag your thumb around the Focus Button to focus manually. And you’ll get both a focus loupe and focus peaking to help you get your subject perfectly crisp. ^1
ISO & Shutter Speed
TK
White Balance
AWB, White Point, Scene Presets, and manual Temp + Tint.
Photo Formats
ProRAW ^2, RAW, HEIC, and JPEG photos, Live Photos and Depth Data ^3.
Video Formats
1080p or 4K at 24,30 or 60fps ^4
Filters
Lots of new filters, some old favorites. You can now disable filters and set favorites for quick access. All included.
Aspect Ratio
Capture photos in 4:3, 1:1, 16:9, and 2:1 aspect ratios.
Histogram
Small or large, luminance or color.
Grid
Lines, crosshairs, or none.
Spirit Level
For perfectly level horizons that would make Wes Anderson proud.
Flash
Yep.
Timer
I hear tick tock is really popular with the youths.
Presets
Customise Obscura to your heart’s content, and save those customisations into presets to quickly access at any time.
—
Library
Not only has the camera interface been redesigned, but the library has been reconsidered from the ground up to give you quick access to your most important photos, without sacrificing performance.
—
View Options
Obscura lets you configure exactly what’s displayed in the library views, so you can hide screenshots and memes to help you focus on your photos.
You can also adjust the size of thumbnails to suit your preference. And keep hidden photos hidden. Naturally.
—
Image View & Editing
Browse, share, fav, rate, edit. Whether you want to dig into metadata, triage through your vacation photos, or apply some cool filters, you’ll find it here.
—
Settings & More
Obscura’s Settings has a bunch of options, allowing you to manage filters, tweak camera behaviours, change the theme, read the walkthrough and more.
—
Apple Watch Support
Use your Apple Watch as a camera remote. You can change capture mode, set exposure and more!
—
Game Controller Support (Beta)
It’s a little rough, but yes, you can use a game controller to control your camera.
———
1. Manual Focus only available in single camera modes, not while using a Virtual Dual or Triple camera. Yes, this sucks but the virtual cameras are weird and full of quirks
2. ProRAW only available on iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro
3. Depth Data only available on Dual, Triple, or TrueDepth Camera systems
4. Video formats vary by device
Thanks for checking out Obscura. If you decide to buy, we hope you’ll consider rating it, or sharing with someone you think might like it.
All the best,

jeffruth,
Amazing UI, responsive developer
To be honest, I was having issues with this app originally. I loved the look, but it was crashing and not showing RAW photos correctly. I posted the issue on here and the developer reached out almost immediately and said they were working on it. Shortly after, I was added to the beta program and since then everything is working great. I’m enjoying the app and the opportunity to give feedback on improvements.
I highly recommend Obscura 3. You have to praise an app that doesn’t copy the others and takes a fresh approach. Very well done!!

Drummer4Life27,
So good it’s replacing the Camera app for me
Really been digging Obscura 3 since I got a chance to dig into it & have actually taken more photos *because* of the app than I have in a while.
I’ve had other pro camera apps, but having Video in this version is a big deal because it can totally replace the Camera app for daily situations rather than trying to specifically serve as a tool when I want to practice photography.
Plus, the minimalist design has settled in version 3 into a fine-tuned mechanism with discrete capture modes, all the controls I want, and I literally noticed myself think “Oh it should have *this* feature” and then promptly found it in Settings.
I’ve picked a few filters, taken some shots that I’m pleased with, and it’s now on my Home Screen too – I look forward to putting it through some more tests soon & if I have any suggestions will send them to the dev team 👍

littlebluebro,
Super customizable creative camera app
Obscura 3 has a unique and clean design and the controls are powerful and intuitive. I especially like the radial dial control for adjusting focus with fine tune increments. There's also a lot of power behind customizing the app for whatever works best for you. You can customize each mode to have different presets or you can change what different gestures do. There's a lot packed into this!
Tao-ish,
Excellent App
For anyone who’s had a bit a bit of experience with a variety of iOS camera apps. I probably have too many. Obscura is opinionated and clever about USER INTERFACE and that’s a good thing. It may feel intuitive to some, maybe not so much to others. But, like anything, I gave it a moment and find it to be a very compelling photography app, with smart ideas and excellent performance.

Almost impossible to use - worthless
The controls on this app are incomprehensible and, strangely, bear little resemblance to the App Store displays. The challenges don't arise simply from not being a pro photographer - the app interface and controls are simply not competently designed for easy interpretation and use. It's so worthless I would give it 0 stars if that were an option. Fortunately, it didn't cost me much and there is no periodic subscription charge that I have to cancel. MacLife Magazine gave this app a good review, but again, their description is not what you find on opening the app. Makes me wonder if I should respect the magazine any more as well.

Cool camera but not working with Fjorden grip
Bought this app so that I could use it with my new Fjorden Grip. it is supposed to be compatible. I can even see it paired in the Obscura3 settings but I cannot get any of the Grip’s buttons to work within the app. I can find nothing on the web on how to fix it. Frustrating!
Edit: it now suddenly seems to work with the Grip but will not zoom (only changes lens with zoom slider on grip).

Really wanted to like the app
I really wanted to like this app. The photography controls are nice and I liked the granular controls for video. What brought this down to two stars for me is that even after multiple short tests of video to make sure everything was working, when I finally recorded a longer video—nothing saved. 20+ minutes later I have nothing recorded. Even though the recording timer continued to increment. Very disappointed. 14ProMax at latest iOS

Improvements over Obscura 2
I’ve recently purchased Obscura 3 to see what it had in comparison to Obscura 2. The simplification is amazing compared to 2. I will miss the way the settings were on the wheel, but the much more simple UI is amazing. Definitely recommend this app if you want to up your photo game.

Very Interesting Camera
Have been in discussions with the developer of this camera app. Always responsive, they have made some very recent updates turning their app into a powerful camera. Highly recommend using it.

Instant purchase
As an Obscura 2 user I was glad to see 3 out with so much features. I applaud the dev for not going the subscription route. This app is loaded. I just want an option to preserve settings. I shoot 16:9 but camera launches 4:3 by default
