RawLapse is targeted for professional photographers, who are used to taking photos on their cameras. It by design requires post-processing but benefits from a highly increased flexibility at post-production.
The main features of the app are:
Selecting a time interval and amount of photos to be taken(can be set to infinite)
Tap to focus and exposure
Lock focus and exposure
Slide to adjust exposure compensation
Lower shutter speeds support for far better low light.
It displays current photo settings & amount of photos taken and to be taken.
Auto screen diming while recording a timelapse(and quick preview using the proximity sensor)
It saves all the photos as .dng to the photo library. This allows very quick and practical photo transfer with the iCloud Photo Library
Auto converts your raw files in device and creates a timelapse out of them. (much better then standard jpeg processing , but might have an impact on battery life)
The main advantages of RawLapse over other timelapse apps are:
Far better dynamic range(highlight shadow detail retention)
Richer Colors
No compression artifacts
Much more control over the white balance of the image (and all the other benefits&flexibilities that comes with a raw photo)
Noticeably better low light performance. (RawLapse makes sure the shutter speed is at 1/3(the minimum) before increasing the ISO.
Raw function is only available in certain devices. These are all the iphones with a 12 megapixel camera. (iPhone SE 6S , 7, 8, X ) and all plus models from these.
*Privacy Statement: All taken photos stay on the device only. No photos will be uploaded*
RawLapse is very early in development.
