How can I control aperture and ISO in the iphone 6 camera? Is there a good app out there?

All photos taken outdoors use ISO 6400 in my phone. Why?

Raid,
I believe the ISO range on the iPhone 6 is 32-2500.
What program is giving you the EXIF?

The outdoors images that I post in the RFF gallery show in the EXIF the ISO=6400. I choose no program. The indoors images show ISO=160. This doesn't make much sense.

Hi Raid,
I bet it's ISO 64 and it's reading the EXIF incorrectly.

I use ProCamera ($4.99) and yes, I do recommend it.

i use camera+ and procamera if i want to control shutter speed and ISO.
my plan was to use them for long exposure/low iso performance with the phone for landscape although i havent had the time to use it, i primarily use the camera for snapshots
also take note that lowest shutter possible with the ios is 1/4s

Raid,
I've been on and off developing various iOS camera apps to test what the capabilities are for output like RAW and stacked images.
For starters, the iPhone6/6+ has a fixed aperture of ƒ/2.2 and cannot be changed. There is a free app called ExifWizard that has all kind of useful information for looking into the photo exif data after the fact.
Truthfully, most of the time I use the stock camera app. The 10FPS burst rate is great, especially if you lock down exposure and autofocus. If you are looking for a dramatically longer shutter speed, then look to an app called "SlowShutter". Technically it is actually converting a movie to a flattened image stack, but the results are pretty good if you are looking for light trails.

I recommend NightCap pro
I've been involved in the beta testing of the last few versions, it's very good indeed! Complete control over shutter and ISO (aperture is fixed) it also has long shutter modes, one of which effectively kills noise. It's very clever. Simple to use too. It also does tiff output which comes up as "raw" in the mobile version Lightroom

Raid, I only use my 4s, but I've been fairly pleased with Camera+. Manual control of focus, ISO, white balance and shutter speed. Maximum exposure time for me is one second at whatever ISO I prefer. Also permits files to be written as tiff which is useful if you think you'll want to edit them later. I'm honestly much happier with a manual film camera myself but occasionally, for the sake of immediacy I've taken tiff files from the phone and edited them in camera raw and PS and they've come up OK.

Thanks a lot for all the tips given here. I now understand why it always shows aperture 2.2. Is this an issue that is only in iphones ? I like using f 11 at the beach, say.

Given the sensor size, does anyone know what the f/2.2 aperture equates to in 35mm terms (in regards to depth of field)?

I use the stock app, and often edit within Photos with the Camera+ extension. I think the extensions are an often-overlooked part of iOS...for the camera especially, they're really useful.

It may be "a quite large number" here.

What exactly is a camera extension and how do I access it?

Internet is saying equivalent aperture is f/15.4.
Raid, if you install the Camera+ app, you can access the extension when you edit a photo. It's much more versatile and powerful than the stock editing tools. Here's how:

interesting, what's the longest shutter speed it is capable of and this is not one of those faux-long exposure app that just combines a bunch of images right?

I would be nice if you could get an actual RAW file off of the phone in the same manner that you can from a proper camera. Programs that give you TIFF raws are really giving you the RGBA (or just RGB if they are smart) pixel-by-pixel bitmap, with lossless TIFF compression. "Real" cameras will give you the actual sensor data, and let Lightroom or Photoshop figure out how to de-bayer the image.

The longest actually shutter speed it does is 1/2sec - I think this is the limit the os allows. So yea, it is technically a faux long shutter, but it's surprisingly effective as I believe it samples pretty much constantly. The repeated sampling means that the sensor noise is got rid of. It's worth playing with.
The app has become very popular with people wishing to do astrophotography and star trails.
It's not an expensive ap either, as it goes ... 🙂
