## Description

Take back control of your photography. Optika combines a streamlined, intuitive interface with pro-grade manual tools, designed specifically to bypass the over-processed look of modern smartphones.

Featuring Natural (NTR) Mode, Optika allows you to capture life as it actually looks – delivering realistic colors and textures with minimal post-processing for a truly authentic aesthetic.

Total Manual Mastery
- Manual Focus: Includes Focus Peaking and Loupe for razor-sharp accuracy.
- Shutter Speed & ISO: Command your exposure for motion blur or low-light clarity.
- White Balance: Custom presets and Kelvin adjustment for perfect tones.
- True Lens Switching: Unlike the default camera app, Optika stays on the lens you choose. No more unexpected switching to the main lens in low light—just pure optical performance.
- Exposure Compensation (EV): Quickly dial in your brightness on the fly.

Features for Every Workflow
- Advanced Formats: Shoot in JPEG, HEIC, RAW, and ProRAW.
- Focus & Exposure Separation: Tap to set focus and exposure points independently.
- Live Analytics: Monitor your shot with luminance and RGB Histograms.
- Composition Tools: Stay level and centered with built-in grids and horizon levels.
- Seamless Integration: Quick-access Lock Screen/Home Screen widgets and full Camera Control support.
- Privacy First: Your data and photos stay yours. No tracking, no hidden uploads.

And all of this in just ≈6MB.

*Note: On non-Pro devices, Natural Mode results may vary from Pro models due to system limitations.

## Review summary

Across reviews, the app is praised for its intuitive UI and pro-like manual controls, plus fast performance and a lightweight footprint. Users value quick focus and easy, single-finger adjustments.

There are few recurring drawbacks; most concerns are feature requests rather than fundamental usability issues.

### Pros

- Clean, intuitive UI that is easy to use, with controls accessible by one finger.
- Fast performance and quick focus.
- Lightweight and memory-efficient design.
