About Virtual Night Vision
It won't work in complete blackness because the iPhone lacks special night cameras, but Virtual Night Vision works in pretty dark conditions. How dark? It depends on the iPhone but moonlight is enough. On any iPhone it will still work when the iPhone Camera app only sees black.
How does it work? It uses a live camera view and special photo enhancement techniques to boost light levels, plus 3 special camera modes (Fast, High and Max). Fast produces good results when you’re on the move, Max produces amazing results when you’re still, and High is balanced between the two.
And you can take HD photos with enhancement and effects.
== 3 powerful modes: ==
• Fast: best results with fast motion
• High: balanced between speed and performance for all-purpose use
• Max: for stationary use. Ultimate enhancement!
== Features: ==
• Live, adjustable night vision enhancement. Enhance as much or as little as you want to get the picture just right
• 3 operating modes ensure best results in any situation
• Smooth, fast, live fullscreen display
• Powerful 8x live zoom
• Multiple live color modes: Full Color, Black and White, Red, Green and Blue filters
• Multiple live effects:
- Thermal Image (this is an effect, not real thermal imaging)
