Why it exists

Manual control without turning the shoot into a settings hunt.

Spencer's Camera keeps the core shooting surface fast while putting serious iOS capture, monitoring, color, audio, and remote-control tools close enough to use during real production work.

Exposure

Cinema-style shutter angle on iPhone

Lock frame rate, choose a shutter angle like 180, 90, or 360 degrees, and let ISO float naturally in Shutter Priority. Switch to full manual when you want independent ISO and shutter speed control.

Formats

Built for modern iPhone recording

Record H.264, HEVC 8-bit or 10-bit, Dolby Vision, HLG HDR, Apple Log, Apple Log 2, ProRes RAW, and ProRes RAW HQ where the device supports it.

Color

Preview LUTs live or bake them later

Load custom LUTs, monitor a graded image while recording, export with optional LUT baking, and keep Apple Log workflows ready for color grading.

Control

Solo-operator tools for real shoots

Use Wi-Fi peer-to-peer remote camera control, Apple Watch controls, Camera Control button support, AirPods recording controls, external monitors, and external storage.

From Spencer

A camera app with a name behind it.

My background is in the film industry as a Digital Imaging Technician, where technology and storytelling meet every day. Spencer's Camera came from that same place: wanting an iOS video camera that feels fast on set, serious about the image, and still personal.

The app took months of nights after work to turn what was in my head into something real. Spencer's Camera started as a working title, but I kept the name because I wanted the accountability. I hope it helps you get better at your craft, capture what matters, and tell your story.

Manual and shutter priority

Choose the way you expose.

Use Shutter Priority to keep motion cadence consistent while ISO adapts, or move into full manual for independent shutter speed and ISO control. EV bias, white balance, focus, and lock controls stay available when precision matters.
