Dazz Camera

Shoot on 23 cameras that each see the world differently, then finish the shot without ever leaving the app.

This is a vintage film camera for your phone. Pick a camera, look through the viewfinder, and what you see is what gets saved. The retro tones are baked in at the shutter, not guessed at afterwards.

THE CAMERA SHELF

Twenty three cameras covering seven kinds of photography, sorted so you can find the mood you want:

Film. DZ 400 for daily film with soft contrast, SR 76 for a sun bleached seventies roll, GL 65 for late light with a warm leak, WM 160 for a warm print and friendly skin, EM 100 for crisp greens, TY 35 for toy camera corners, SU 80 for the amber hour.

CCD. CD 220 gives you hard contrast and clipped whites, the way early digital cameras did. CD 330 goes the other way, flat and murky with turquoise shadows.

Y2K. Y2K 99 is a blown flash on a magenta night. VH 98 is heavy grain with flash and a leak.

Instant. IN 600 is a bleached instant print, warm and soft. IN 70 is cold, crushed and moody.

Digicam. DZ 000 is your sensor with no look at all, AZ 200 is clean daylight with cool shadows, VX 100 is punchy colour in hard sun.

Mono. BW 400 has real grain, NR 32 has deep shadows and hard light, SP 12 is antique warmth on aged paper.

Dreamy. MT 50 is milky and matte, RS 90 is a soft pink cast, FR 64 is pale and cold, DM 25 is hazy pastel.

IN THE VIEWFINDER

Tap to focus and pinch to zoom. Choose a focal length, set exposure compensation, and move white balance on a temperature and tint pad with presets for tungsten, daylight, cloudy and shade. Flash, timer, grid and front camera are all one tap away.

Shoot a double exposure, a fisheye, or a 3D wiggle that saves as a GIF. Record video with tape, Super 8, MiniDV or neon effects.

THE EDITOR

Thirteen tools, on any photo:

Filter, to try another camera after the fact

Adjust, for exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks

Colour, on the same white balance pad, plus a full colour picker

Grain, with amount and size

Texture, for halation, vignette and light leaks

Glitch, for channel split, torn slices, scanlines and signal bleed

Crop, with ratios for Instagram, YouTube and stories

Rotate, with quarter turns, flip and fine straightening

Frame, with paper prints and a date stamp

Text, in thirteen real fonts

Stickers, from a full emoji shelf

Shapes, sixteen of them, filled or outlined

Draw, freehand in any colour

PRINTS AND STAMPS

Mount a photo on paper in five styles, from a deep instant border to a slim one. Burn on a nostalgic date stamp in an LED, digital, classic or typewriter face, in four colours, dragged anywhere you like. Instant cameras arrive already framed, the way a real print comes out of the camera.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS

Every shot goes straight to your gallery. There is no separate library to keep in step. Editing never touches the original, so a photo can be printed differently tomorrow.

My Rolls groups your photos by the camera that took them, so a roll reads like a roll of film.

If you like vintage photography, grain you can actually feel, and a camera that decides how the picture looks before you press the button, this one is for you.
