I've just downloaded the Red Dot Camera app from iTunes. It simulates a manual focus "rangefinder" by using touch-screen dials for shutter speed, ISO, EV compensation, and focus There is no auto-focus or zoom, but a choice of three fixed focal lengths; nor is there aperture control, due to the small size of the lens.

As an iPhone 5 user, this is more intuitive and less cumbersome than the device's own camera.

It's free with an imprint on images or you pay for the full version.

 

Colin.

I just downloaded it on my iPhone 6, the photos seem clearer than from the standard camera and it certainly makes exposing a selected area correctly easy. I probably won't use it much because I always have my C-Lux 2 in my pocket but I can see some uses for it.

 

It would also be a great tool for teaching budding photographers the basics of manual camera operation.
