What is ViaCamera?
How it works
-
Place your phone
Put your iPhone on a tripod, a shelf or anything steady, and open ViaCamera.
-
Step back
Walk into the frame. There is no timer to race and no remote to hide.
-
Pose
ViaCamera takes the photo when your face is in frame and your eyes are open.
Why ViaCamera
-
No timer, no remote
Set your phone down, step back and pose. There is no countdown to race and no remote to hold.
How the auto shutter works -
It waits until it sees you
AI-FACE takes the photo when your face is in frame and your eyes are open. AI-BODY takes it when it sees you in frame.
Compare the AI modes -
Real photos, not AI-generated
ViaCamera only decides when to press the shutter. You get a normal photo from your iPhone camera; nothing is generated.
