About
Photograph star trails or stunning smooth waterfalls. Capture a meteor mid-streak or traffic with light trails. And clear, detailed photos where there’s barely any light at all. One-time purchase, no subscription.
ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
Four modes that automatically set the camera up for you.
- Star Trails: watch the stars draw circles overhead
- Meteors: automatic capture of shooting stars
- ISS: the International Space Station passing over
- Stars: starry skies and the Milky Way
- New in version 10: Aurora, a time-lapse mode for the Northern and Southern Lights
LONG EXPOSURE
Hold the shutter open for seconds or minutes and movement becomes light.
- Long Exposure: motion blur, or a cleaner shot when you hold still
- Light Trails: traffic at night, fireworks, light painting
- Both as time-lapse too, up to 4K with adjustable speed
LOW LIGHT
- ISO Boost for up to 4x beyond the standard camera range
- Light Boost
- Noise Reduction
- Night Mode video and timelapse
HANDHELD
New in version 10. NightCap steadies and aligns every frame as you shoot, so long exposures no longer need a tripod.
MANUAL CONTROL
- Swipe to adjust exposure, ISO, focus and white balance
- Camera Control on iPhone 16 and later
- Zoom to 16x
- Black and white mode
Also includes an interval programmer, self-timer, and an Apple Watch app with live preview and remote control.
