Night Camera HD - the expert for professional nighttime shots on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

AppAdvice 4.5/5 stars review: "Night Camera HD is a tool that every inclined mobile photographer should have."

Thanks to the manual setting options for light exposure up to 1 second *, separate residual light- and ISO enhancement, Night Camera HD is perfect for taking pictures in a dark, insufficiently lit environment. Even during daylight, your pictures are clearer, with less interference, due to the extended exposure times.

Take high-resolution photos in PNG format without visual loss. Forget about the loss of quality experienced with other cameras apps caused by image compression artifacts.

Regardless whether you take night-, scenery- or other photographs, the picture quality you are able to achieve with Night Camera HD will surprise you.

You can easy tap to focus and tap to exposure at the same time. After selecting the desired setting, you can easily lock it to prevent changes despite movement.

Only here you can get luminance, luminosity and RGB histograms in real time to recognize over- and underexposure in time.

The self-timer, which is imperative for nighttime shots, enables you to take un-blurred pictures.

With the aid of the volume buttons you can take pictures with volume up (+) and fade the HUD-elements in- and out with volume down (-).

Of course you can also block the white balance separately and edit it if necessary.

Standard image formats (4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 16:9 and 3:1) can be edited live. The full-screen mode is activated for narrow image formats, enabling maximum display use. This feature can also be deactivated.

The histogram adapts to all image formats.

The up to 6x digital live zoom can be edited in the settings to enable a greater precision level during targeted zooming.

Of course diverse alignment grids (e.g. Rule of Thirds, Golden Spirals and Golden Triangle) as well as a virtual horizon are available as overlays.

Various real-time color filters complete this app.

Pros and cons of Night Camera HD app for iPhone and iPad

Night Camera HD app good for

It was even able to capture the interior if my car at night without flash! This app actually gives you nightvision - provided you set the exposure length time high enough As for new features: Id LOVE to see more options for the exposure time, so I could mount the camera in even darker rooms! So I could set it to 5 seconds or higher, rather than maxing out at .5 seconds
Im a little disappointed in my very top-of-the-line iPad Pro being a device which only supports up to 1/3 second exposures, and my very recently very top-of-the-line iPhone6 being a device which only supports up to 1/3 second exposures. Simultaneously, Im curious what devices the maker of this product is referring to when it claims 1 second exposures are available on devices that support it. Are they referring to an iPhone 4, perhaps? Has Apple downgraded their camera capabilities? Because their high end stuff certainly doesnt. Or maybe the software producer is just blowing smoke?
THE BEST APP EVER! I searched long for app like this... Thank you :)

Some bad moments

Does not work. Donate your 3 dollars to a worthy cause. Dont waste it on this.
I took photos with this and the stick camera app and cant tell the difference. After changing some of the settings to improve the quality the pictures actually looked worse. So you got my .99 cents ... keep it and put it towards RnD. It needs it.
Low light mode works for the cam but there is no video support. Under the icon it said "photo and video".
I love the dark light enhancement. Good app. I love the auto light adjust mode really works well.
Just started playing with it, but so far Im really liking it. Low-light photography is a passion of mine; the iPhone has potential. This app has big promise.
Main thing missing is true shutter control for a higher shutter speed. Still getting a starting point of 1/20 or less to start and cannot go higher for indoors. This speed still gives blurry images as in the Apple app. To fix this you need to give control of the ISO to get a higher shutter speed. No app does this.
