Description
Hi, I'm Spencer, and welcome to my camera app!
I built Spencer's Camera because of my deep love of storytelling and over a decade of experience in the film industry as a Digital Imaging Technician. At heart, I've always been a filmmaker, and this is my dream tool for capturing incredible stories right on your iPhone.
SHUTTER PRIORITY: CINEMA CONTROLS ON iOS
Unlike standard iOS cameras, Spencer's Camera gives you true shutter angle control—exactly like cinema cameras. Lock your frame rate, dial in 180°, 90°, or 360° shutter angle, and let ISO float naturally. It's how professional cinematographers work, and now it's in your pocket.
