The Moment App uses gestures to better control light and focus so you can capture photos and videos that require less editing.

The Moment App does three things that are unique.

First, it introduces gestures to better control focus and light (exposure and temperature) when shooting. These simple gestures are fast, easy to use and help to tighten the edges of your picture.

Second, it includes a thumb reachable toolbar so you can quickly switch between photo/video mode, plus turn shooting features on/off. Especially in video mode, frame rate and resolution controls are just a click away.

Third, it works with Moment hardware to bring the best of a DSLR to your phone. The Moment Case features a physical shutter button with half-press and full-press functionality. Moment Lenses add wide, telephoto, and macro perspectives to your phone.

Key Features:

MANUAL CONTROLS
Use gestures to manually adjust focus and light (exposure and temperature) while shooting.

Double tap the target to separately pinpoint lighting and focus on specific parts of your image. Slide your finger right and left to adjust the entire scene. Slide up and down to pick a new control.

Easily switch between lenses on the iPhone 7 Plus Dual Lens. Three modes: Auto (uses both lenses together), 1x (locks the camera on the built in wide lens), and 2x (locks the camera on the built in tele lens).

THUMB REACHABLE TOOLBAR
All of your photo and video shooting tools are only a thumbs distance away. Now you can quickly flip between photo/video mode, change the order of your favorite shooting tools, and quickly turn tools on/off to use them.

3D SHUTTER
Using Apple’s 3D Touch technology, we’ve brought the shooting experience of a DSLR shutter button to the touch screen. By turning the tool on, you can half press to focus, full press to capture using the in-app shutter button. This feature is only available for iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 7, and 7 Plus.

CAPTURE RAW PHOTOS
Capture JPG, TIFF, and RAW photos. Our TIFF photos are 10x bigger in size with even sharper image clarity than your native camera app, making them perfect for printing. RAW format maximizes the post processing capabilities to give you the best control over editing your images.

VIDEO STABILIZATION
Choose from auto or video stabilization to make your videos look silky smooth.

VIDEO FRAME RATE AND RESOLUTION CONTROL
Quickly switch to video mode and shoot at 720(24fps, 30fps, 60fps, 120fps, 240fps), 1080(24fps, 30fps, 60fps), or 4K(24fps, 30fps) on the iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, and SE.

PHOTO LIBRARY
Browse your shots with a library that has multiple views (single, double, or triple column). Plus manage your photos one at a time or as a single batch.

WORKS WITH MOMENT LENSES
Select a Moment Lens (wide, tele, macro, or superfish) and the app will save your metadata to each photo captured.

EVEN BETTER WITH MOMENT CASES
This is the only app specifically designed to work with the Moment Battery Photo Case and Original Photo Case. It allows you to use a DSLR-like shutter button on your phone, and add extra battery with the Battery Photo Case. Take better photos, faster.
