Common Questions


Is there a 2x lens?

2X zoom is not a native zoom but rather is achieved through software upscaling and cropping. With !Camera, we process the highest quality Raw images which are restricted by Apple to use the device’s physical lenses for maximum quality and sharpness. To achieve a similar 2x crop, you can use a photo editor to crop the photo down to the desired zoom level. When Apple opens up 2X as an option, we’ll be there to adopt it.

Final photo doesn’t match the viewfinder

There are differences between the viewfinder and the final photo in every camera app. However, the differences may be more noticeable when using SuperRaw as it uses our custom Raw photo processing pipeline, however, we are restricted to using iOS’s standard video feed for what is presented in the viewfinder. Hopefully, Apple will open this up one day and we can make the viewfinder feed more consistent.

For more consistent results, you can use ProRaw or Basic processing (Settings → Capture). If you stick with SuperRaw, we find it can help to think of the viewfinder as something more akin to a traditional viewfinder on a classic film camera—a tool to help you compose your shot rather than a pixel-accurate view of what’s captured.

HDR photos look dark or desaturated

Photos captured with HDR can appear darker in apps and views that don’t yet support HDR. Set your desired HDR setting to offset this effect. Low will preserve highlights and minimize the darkening effect. Or disable HDR to remove the effect altogether.
