Camera M 4.1 ProRAW Update
The next level of pro photography is here! We want to welcome you to Apple ProRAW format!
With iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, now capture full 12-bit Linear DNG format images with additional dynamic range.
What is Apple ProRAW?
Apple ProRAW brings the power of iPhone computational photography to RAW. It provides benefits of multi-frame image processing and computational photography, like Deep Fusion and Smart HDR, and combines them with the depth and flexibility of a RAW format. Files are approximately 25MB in file size.

What makes capturing Apple ProRAW so great with Camera M?
Shoot with fluid gesture-based full manual controls, including focus, exposure, and white balance. Shoot up to 1 second long exposures or manually set ISO to the lowest setting. Have access to the full arsenal of professional tools: movable magnifier loupe, focus peaking, live RGB histograms, highlight and shadow alerts, grey card white balance, and much more.
ProRAW uses Max Image Processing to apply Deep Fusion and Smart HDR, and other computational photography features, ensuring you are getting the absolute best image quality.
We made sure that Sensor-shift stabilization for Wide Camera on iPhone 12 Pro Max and lens stabilization in all other instances are fully utilized to give you the sharpest image possible. Hand-held one-second long exposures are now within reach.
ProRAW is available with the ultra-wide camera! Yes, you read it right.
Bracket with ProRAW
Dynamic-range-warriors can now capture 3-shot brackets in Apple ProRAW format. Use the default -2EV, 0EV, +2EV bracket, or manually configure with three movable exposure points, as shown above.
ProRAW + HEIF
Capture ProRAW with a processed HEIF file alongside or capture ProRAW by itself. When ProRAW + HEIF combination is shared within Camera Roll, you will see the choice to share each format separately.
Standard RAW
You still have the option to capture standard RAW (Bayer RAW) without any additional processing.
(iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 14.3 is required for Apple ProRAW capture.)
OTHER Version 4.1 CHANGES
We decided to go through all of Camera M and tweak the user interface elements. Icons are rescaled, polished, and the spacing on certain elements are altered to have a cleaner, more professional presentation.
For iPhones with Home Indicator, we rearranged the control center elements to be more ergonomic. This has been the first time such changes were made since the inception of Camera M back in 2017. We hope you all like the changes and would love to hear your thoughts.
For instances where Camera M captures more than one image, we included a badge within the Camera Roll button to indicate the number of shots.
We included additional links within Settings to access the full user manual and app update information quickly.
