ProShot Mod Apk 8.16 build 396 (Premium Unlocked)

Getting started

There’s no setup required with ProShot. Launching the app after installation prompts you for location access, then gives you the choice to view a guided tutorial, view a field guide, or begin using the app.

The automated tutorial walks you through eight different aspects of the app, from adjusting manual controls to selecting an automatic mode and fine-tuning a focal point. The field guide is like an overlay of the app, with arrows pointing to the various onscreen controls.

Navigating the controls

The main screen, like most camera apps, is the viewfinder. Adorning all four edges of the screen are various controls. Holding your iOS device in a landscape orientation puts the exposure adjustment along the bottom, with the shutter button, mode selection, capture setting, and focus controls to the right. Along the top is where you can switch between 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1 size ratio for the photo. And on the left is a button to view your photo gallery.

When you select one of the controls, its options are placed atop the viewfinder in a semi-transparent box. Even with a bright background, I was still able to see the controls and select what I wanted without issue.

I found the location of the controls to be placed within easy reach of either thumb, even on the iPhone 6 Plus. This allowed me to adjust a photo on the fly, without forcing me to frame, adjust, and then reframe a shot.

On a few occasions, I would attempt to adjust the focus, which is done via a slider located next to the shutter button, and inadvertently trigger the zoom control. To zoom, you place your finger anywhere on the screen and slide it up or down. Up zooms in, down zooms out. It’s the same way you control focus, only the focus control requires a very precise touch. It would have been better to have a well-defined area for zoom, with another for focus.

professional-grade adjustments

The entire point of ProShot is to bring professional-grade adjustments to a photo app on iOS. For example, if you’re going to take photos of a child running through your backyard, you’ll want to set the shutter speed to a fast setting.

Conversely, if you’re taking a low-light still photo, a slower shutter speed is ideal. The stock iOS Camera app doesn’t allow for these types of adjustments, leaving you to either take a burst photo and select the best of the group, or live with a blurry photo (in the case of a child running).

The ability to make an adjustment in ProShot and immediately see the viewfinder reflect the changes is an invaluable teaching tool. It’s the same behaviour you’d find in an expensive camera, except in this case you only spent a few dollars on an app that runs on your smartphone.

Capture modes

With ProShot you can adjust the rate at which burst photos are captured, time-lapse duration, video quality, and frame rate, and set a timer for the all-important selfie (or group shot).

In testing the various modes I found the time-lapse feature to be a disappointment. After placing my iPhone on a tripod, I set ProShot to capture a photo every 5 seconds for 5 minutes. After the first minute, my iPhone’s screen turned off (as it’s supposed to when not in use). I unlocked my phone and found ProShot was still capturing photos, but the screen went black again a minute later.

The second time my phone went to sleep a minute later, however, ProShot stopped capturing photos as part of my time-lapse. But instead of alerting me to this issue, I unlocked my phone to find an alert asking me to review the app (unlucky, but annoying). In comparison, using iOS 8’s native time-lapse mode in the Camera app leaves the phone unlocked with the screen on until you stop capturing the time-lapse. Hopefully, the developers of ProShot will fix this in a future update.

Even after all of that, instead of creating a short video out of the time-lapse captures (as Apple’s Camera app does), ProShot saves each one individually to your Camera Roll — not ideal.
