## What is MinoLux?

What if your iPhone could shoot like a film camera. Not with a filter slapped on top, but for real, from the sensor up.

MinoLux captures in RAW and builds the image from scratch, the way an analog lab would. The result is photos that actually feel like film, with soft highlights that roll off naturally, real optical vignetting, and grain that isn't just noise thrown on top.

11 FILM STOCKS
Velvia for saturated landscapes. Provia for clean, natural color. Eterna for that cinematic look. Classic Neg for unpredictable charm. Superia for warm, vivid everyday shots. Each film stock has its own character, not just a color curve but an entire processing pipeline.

REAL CAMERA TOOLS
• Split prism focusing, just like a classic rangefinder
• Analog light meter with needle indicator
• Manual shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation
• Smart auto exposure that intentionally underexposes for filmic dynamics
• Physical lens switching between 0.5x, 1x, and 5x

FOR YOU WHO...
...miss the feel of shooting film. Who want photos with character, not just technical perfection. Who are tired of every iPhone photo looking the same.

SAVE YOUR WAY
HEIC for sharing, or 16 bit TIFF with tone mapping for further editing.

Requires iPhone 12 Pro or later. iOS 16+
