Design

Obscura incorporates numerous powerful features into simple controls that anyone can easily master. The interface balances aesthetics, ergonomics, and intuitiveness. You won't want to use any other tool. The controls are reachable with one thumb, and gestures and haptics are combined to create a tactile experience that allows you to focus on your subject.

Shooting Modes & Formats

Obscura can take photos, videos, Live Photos, and portraits. Photos can be taken in RAW, ProRAW, HEIC, and JPEG formats (only available on supported devices, see http://obscura.camera/compatibility).

Images can be captured in a variety of different aspect ratios, or filters can be applied in real-time in the camera for a variety of styles.
