Kamera Pro: LiDAR Night Vision

iPhone app by Kamal Nasir

Kamera Pro is a night vision camera for iPhone: live night lenses, low light capture modes and a LiDAR lens that sees depth in total darkness on Pro models.

What it does

• Fourteen night lenses rendered live, including classic green night vision, noir, amber and the Ember and Magma heat-look palettes
• A LiDAR lens for Pro model iPhones that draws the room as measured distance in complete darkness, and measures between two points in meters or feet
• Capture modes for the dark: Night Photo, Light Trails, Astro stacked exposures for the night sky, Night Timelapse, and Glow selfies lit by the screen
• Photo Rescue brightens underexposed photos from your library, and video rescue saves a brightened copy of a dark clip beside the original
• Retro film lens with sixteen film stocks, and HareZora, an anime film lens with teal skies, golden light and soft grain in three looks
• Guard Mode keeps watch on a room by motion, sound and, on Pro models, measured depth, with a distance tripwire and an Apple Watch app that taps your wrist while the iPhone runs Kamera
• Manual shutter, ISO, focus and white balance with focus peaking, RAW capture as DNG, and a Night Almanac with moonrise, moon phase and tonight's darkest hour

Questions people ask

Can an iPhone see in the dark?

Not with its ordinary camera, which needs at least a little light; night vision style apps brighten whatever light there is. The exception is the LiDAR scanner on Pro model iPhones, which brings its own light, so Kamera Pro's LiDAR lens can draw a fully dark room as measured distance.

Which iPhones have LiDAR?

The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max and every Pro and Pro Max model since, plus iPad Pro models from 2020 onward. iPhones without Pro in the name do not have a LiDAR scanner.

Is Kamera Pro a thermal or infrared camera?

No. iPhones have no thermal camera, and Kamera Pro's colour lenses, including the Ember and Magma heat-look palettes, are gradings of the ordinary visible-light image. Its LiDAR lens reads real depth from the scanner on Pro models, and the app does not measure temperature.
