Pearla Pro Camera Unlocks Even More Controls and Features for Your iPhone Photos and Videos

The Pearla iPhone Camera App

Designed as a professional camera app for photographers and filmmakers seeking more comprehensive control over their photos and videos, Pearla supports advanced workflows with manual controls, custom film emulation, and professional capture formats.

One of Pearla’s most unique features is its ability to separate photo and video settings, allowing hybrid shooters to fully customize their shooting experience for photos and videos. There are a lot of "pro" camera apps on the App Store, but Pearla is one of the few that caters to both photography and videography. Pearla also supports external drives and HDMI outputs, and provides shooters with direct access to files through a built-in media manager.

Pearla also features a film emulation engine that enables detailed tonal control and custom recipes designed to replicate the look and feel of familiar classic film stocks. For those working in video and desiring Log capture, Pearla also offers expanded support for popular Log profiles, waveform monitoring, and tone mapping controls.
