## What is iPHOFLEX?

iPHOFLEX is a camera app that makes you feel as if you are looking down into the waist-level finder of a twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera.

Just like a real TLR, the finder shows the scene reversed left to right. The grid of the focusing screen, the dust on it and the darker corners are all there. And you can keep your photos exactly as they looked in the finder.

SHOOT
- Square photos, just like a TLR
- The finder image is reversed left to right (you can turn this off)
- Five focusing screens: a clean grid, a dusty grid, a bright Fresnel screen, a dusty Fresnel screen and a terribly dirty screen
- Tap to set focus and exposure
- Use the volume buttons as a shutter release (iOS 18 or later)

FINISH
- Choose one of three looks
  - Photo: just the square photo
  - Finder: the reversed image, the screen texture and the darker corners, as seen in the finder
  - With Hood: the whole finder hood around your photo
- Nine filters: Mono, Chrome, Fade, Instant, Noir, Process, Tonal, Transfer and Sepia
- Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and grain. The grain looks like real film, with grains of different sizes
- Change your mind as often as you like. The original photo is never changed
- Save to your photo library or share

Sadly, because of how the iPhone is built, you can't look down and shoot forward at the same time.
