Lumen Camera

Lumen Camera turns your iPhone into a serious photography and cinematography tool — with the polish of Apple Camera and the depth of a pro mirrorless.

Built natively for iOS 26, with Apple's Cinematic Video Capture API for rack focus, tracking focus and adjustable depth of field.

NEW — PURE MODE
A new way to shoot — your photo, developed like film, right inside the app.

Phone cameras fuse frames, lift shadows and smooth away grain — it's why everyday photos look so good, and it's all still here. Pure is for when you want the other thing: a single frame, developed in the app the way a darkroom develops a negative — classical tools, the same fixed recipe every shot. No AI. No computational processing.

Honest grain. Highlights that roll off. Shadows that stay dark.
• Live Pure Preview in the viewfinder
• One untouched frame, straight off the sensor
• 10-bit HEIC with real HDR, or JPEG
• Keep the RAW negative alongside the finished photo
• Works with manual controls and brackets
• Semi-Manual and Manual, optical lenses, 12 MP

THREE WAYS TO SHOOT
• Auto — point and shoot, now at 24 MP
• Semi-Manual — pick the variable that matters, the camera balances the rest
• Manual — direct control of ISO, shutter, focus, white balance, exposure

FORMATS
• HEIC / JPEG — Apple Camera quality with Deep Fusion, Smart HDR and Photographic Styles, up to 48 MP
• Apple ProRAW — up to 48 MP, 12-bit DNG with full editing latitude
• Pure — a single sensor frame, developed in the app
• Save a ready-to-share HEIF or JPEG with any RAW capture

CREATIVE FILTERS
• See the look live before you shoot
• Keep the untouched RAW alongside the filtered photo

EXPOSURE & FOCUS BRACKETING
• Exposure bracketing — stack EV steps into one true-HDR photo
• Focus bracketing — shift focus through the scene, stack for detail front to back
• Macro focus stacking — now works up close, for tiny subjects
• Smart Mode picks the range and frame count, or set near and far focus yourself
• On-device stacking across lenses and formats

MANUAL & FOCUS TOOLS
• ISO, shutter, exposure compensation, white balance and focus, with numeric readouts
• Focus peaking, plus a pinpoint manual-focus loupe
