"Using ProCamera—DSLR-like Camera Control with Your iPhone Camera"
Mary Louise Ravese, Bella Vista Photography

• Thursday, April 28, 2022 – 10:00 am–12:30 pm

Apple's camera app offers only a limited amount of control over the iPhone camera, but more control is possible with the paid app ProCamera. Using ProCamera, users can access DSLR-like camera control, like setting shutter speed, ISO, and white balance settings. They can also adjust exposure compensation and view a live image histogram. ProCamera also allows phone images to be saved in higher quality file formats like RAW, making it possible to create print-worthy pictures with the iPhone.

In this session, Mary Louise will discuss how fundamental photography principles can apply to the iPhone camera using the ProCamera app. She will demonstrate the basics of how to use the ProCamera app. Afterwards, participants will apply these new skills photographing spring flowers in the Arboretum 's Garden.

What to Bring

This class is open to iPhone camera users only (preferably iPhone 8 or later). Participants will need the ProCamera app by Cocologics installed on their iPhone (available in the App Store for $14.99). Optional extra features like low light photography and HDR photography are available with in-app purchases, but not required for this class. Participants should also bring their photography journal and a pencil or pen to take notes with.
