Easy to use interface with customizable levels of detail for novices and pros alike. Mix and match fully automatic modes and individually lock / adjust just the ones you want. E.g. you can have fully automatic exposure and only adjust manual focus.

CONTROL

  • White Balance : for richer more accurate colors - especially skin tones.
  • Exposure Compensation : stop images being too dark or too bright, or just make an artistic choice for more beautiful light.
  • Focus to exactly the part at the picture you want or lock to create close up macro shots easier.
  • ISO : get much sharper images in the dark, or much clearer photos in normal light with less noise.
  • Shutter Speed : for fast action shots, or lower to produce cool effects like motion blur.

FILTERS

Live filters! See the world live through your chosen filter BEFORE you take the picture. Our professional grade filters are based on the same technology used in cinema post-production. Easily swipe left or right to change filter or use the browser.

SETTINGS

  • Timer : set a photo to be taken hands free after a delay of 2 or 10 seconds after you press the shutter.
  • Grid : overlay a grid over the viewfinder to aid composition.
  • Format : choose from square or normal 4:3 sized photos.
  • Zoom On Focus : the viewfinder will automatically zoom the view to aid accurate focusing.
  • User Interface Color : personalise the color of your camera from Silver, Black or Low contrast Grey.
  • Optional GPS Geotagging (Jpeg only)

User Reviews

Manual Cam is praised for its strong manual controls, clean UI, and ad-free core features, delivering solid image quality and easy adjustments. Users like the centralized controls, quick access to shutter speed, ISO, and focus, and the option to shoot without a required premium plan. However, frequent crashes, gaps in functionality (shutter range, zoom, aperture control), unreliable filters, and missing photo metadata detract from reliability and workflow.
Pros
  • Robust manual controls (shutter speed, ISO, and focus) with a simple, centralized UI.
  • No ads and no mandatory premium membership for core features.
  • Polished, intuitive UI with controls placed conveniently and onscreen values for easy adjustments.
  • Solid image quality and effective manual focus; macro support.
Cons
  • Crashes and stability issues (startup crashes, capture-time crashes, filter-related crashes).
  • Manual control gaps: shutter speed limited to 1 second, limited zoom, no aperture control.
  • Filters not saving or not applying reliably and occasional filter-related crashes.
  • Missing metadata (location data and camera make/model) in saved photos.

How to select which of 3 lenses to use?
by ch*****, 2022-04-23

I’ve been looking around for an app that would let me manually set the shutter speed and ISO and this one let me do just that and it’s also the only one that wasn’t trying to make me buy a “premium membership” to use those basic features. It also isn’t riddled with ads so that’s a plus. I would recommend!
