Everything the camera can do, from your phone

No cables, no account. Viewfinder talks to your camera over Wi-Fi and nothing else.

Live view

A grid, an RGB histogram, focus peaking, zebras and the camera's focus frames. Tap to focus, or magnify to check it.

Every setting

Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, white balance, focus and drive modes, as the camera allows. Changes on the camera show up in the app.

Time-lapse

A picture every second to every 10 minutes. Follow the light (Pro) keeps a sunset evenly exposed, and the pictures become a video in Photos.

Bulb and bracketing

Bulb exposures timed by your phone, and 3 to 9 bracketed pictures for HDR, a third of a stop to 3 stops apart.

Motion trigger Pro

A picture whenever something moves in the frame: birds at the feeder, visitors at the door.

The camera's card

Browse what's on the card and save originals, RAW included, straight to Photos.

Apple Watch and Siri

Press the shutter from your wrist, or say "Take a picture with Viewfinder". The Action button works too.

Keeps going

A time-lapse keeps running when you lock your phone, with its progress on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island.
