- Manual focus
- Timer
- Soft torch for illuminating super dark scenes
- Photo format (HEIC/JPEG)
- Shoot lower resolution image for faster processing
- Grid

Tips for better photos:
- Choose a moderate/dim scene with uniform lighting (avoid harsh light source like lamps/street lights)
- Use a tripod or rest your hands/phone on a surface for maximum sharpness
- Always tap to focus before taking each photo and wait for focus to stabilises (Focussing can take 1-3 seconds to lock in dark scenes)
- Hold your phone using two hands as it reduces hand motion
- Hold your breath if you are doing handheld shot (Yes, this helps!!)
- For selfies, do not blink your eyes and try to stay still with minimal head motion
- For human portraits, make sure your subjects hold very still for up to 5 seconds
- Avoid scenes having any kind of motion like cars, persons, crowds, pets, windy trees

## Review summary

User reviews highlight BlackSight as a strong solution for night photography on older iPhones, delivering noticeably better low-light results and natural-looking images that can rival newer devices. The app’s simple UI and overall value are frequently praised, with many willing to pay to remove watermark. However, reviewers report issues with watermark removal in practice, trial watermarks, occasional updates that blur or lower resolution, and missing RAW/TIFF formats. Some users also note it isn’t as powerful as the latest iPhones but provides meaningful benefits on older hardware.

### Pros

- Significantly improves low-light photos with natural-looking results
- High-quality night-shot results, often best among competing night camera apps
- Good value for money; watermark removal is considered worth the price

### Cons

- Watermark persists on photos after purchase or cannot be removed in some cases
- Trial version applies a large watermark across all images
- Some updates cause blur or lower image resolution
- Missing RAW/TIFF formats for advanced editing
- Not as powerful as the latest iPhone models; limited compared to newer devices
