NOX Manual Film Camera

The look is decided in the viewfinder, not in the grade. NOX is a manual camera. ISO, shutter, exposure, light, focus, aperture, kelvin and tint: eight numbers, and every one of them is yours. Touch one and its barrel rolls out under the frame with detents you can feel. Until you touch it, the camera meters for you. The moment you do, that value is locked to your hand and nothing automatic touches it again. MEASURED, NOT GUESSED Three emulsion families built from published film datasheets. Not a preset named after a film: the curve the film actually has, with its grain and its shoulder, applied before the shutter so what you frame is what you get. LIGHT, THE FLASH THAT NEVER CHARGES Because it isn't a flash. It's a small continuous light: it turns on and stays on, so the meter, the zebra and the histogram read the scene you are actually going to photograph. Dial the power like a panel dimmer and watch it happen. READY is true at every moment. FIVE ENGRAVINGS Pick the barrel you learned on: a seventies SLR lens with feet over metres, a rangefinder lens in amber with its depth-of-field fan, a classic cine lens with metres in white and feet in red, a modern cine lens with one wide luminous scale, or a studio cine lens in extended yellow with its oblique focal. ALSO INSIDE Focus peaking. Tap to focus, double tap to lock onto a subject and track it. A loupe while you turn the focus barrel. Sessions in the library, grouped by burst and place. LOG and ProRAW captures can be re-developed later with the Developer module. Push and pull development. Film gauge (35, S16, 16) with the grain that geometry implies. A level and a shutter light around the front camera cutout. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Emulsions are named KD, FJ and IL. They are built from published datasheets and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed from any film manufacturer.
