Getting started.
A quick guide to setting up Sundae and taking your first photo.
Set three things, then shoot.
Allow Camera and Photos. Location can stay off. Then open Capture & Save and choose how Sundae should process each shot.
- Capture family
- Zero keeps the natural texture of one RAW frame. Fusion starts cleaner with Apple ProRAW and adds higher resolutions on supported iPhones.
- Adaptive Tone
- Medium is a sensible first setting. It balances highlight and shadow detail without changing your Vibe.
- Save Negative
- Turn it on when you want to redevelop the photo later in the Lab. The saved RAW source uses additional storage.
On a supported iPhone, start with Fusion at 12 MP, Adaptive Tone Medium, and Save Negative on.
Choose a Vibe. Set focus and exposure.
Tap the artwork beside the Shutter to choose a Vibe. Tap the scene to focus, hold to lock, and swipe up or down to brighten or darken the frame. Switch to manual focus or exposure only when you want more control.
Keep the negative. Change your mind later.
Sundae saves the finished photo to Photos. With Save Negative on, you can reopen the shot in the Lab and change its Vibe, exposure, color, crop, or Film.
You don't have to memorize it.
Settings → Learn Sundae replays the hands-on lessons for Vibes, focus, exposure, Adaptive Tone, Save Negative, and the Lab. Keep automatic updates on so the beta stays current.
