Manual Camera Controls in VSCO Capture

Manual mode in VSCO Capture puts you in charge, not your phone. Set your own ISO, shutter speed, and white balance before you press the shutter, the same way you would on a DSLR or mirrorless body.


That matters most when light won't sit still: a subject stepping out of shade, a sky shifting by the minute, a room lit by three different bulbs. Auto mode averages the scene. Manual mode lets you decide.

Every setting lives right where you're composing, not buried in a menu:


‍Exposure: Brighten or darken the frame with a tap and slide, or dial in exact values with the exposure compensation control.


‍Shutter speed: Freeze a subject mid-motion or drag it into a blur. Your call.

‍ISO: Raise it in low light to keep your shutter fast enough for a sharp handheld shot, or keep it low in bright conditions for a cleaner, lower-grain image.

‍White balance: Warm up a golden hour shot, or correct the cast that fluorescent and tungsten light leave behind.

‍Focus: Tap anywhere in the frame to lock it exactly where you want.

Take control of the light, motion, and mood before you press the shutter. Lower your ISO in bright light to keep more detail. Raise it when the light falls. Speed up your shutter to freeze a moment, or slow it down when you want motion to show.


Take that same intention into the edit. VSCO Capture gives you the control to make more deliberate images in the moment, with RAW and ProRAW editing available in VSCO when you want more flexibility afterward. Your edit can start before you ever leave the camera.
