## What is Sun 600?

Sun 600 is a retro instant camera for making warm, imperfect, memory-rich photos.

Frame a shot, tune the exposure, choose a film look, and develop a Polaroid-inspired print with soft grain, lifted shadows, warm bloom, date stamps, light leaks, and tactile print borders. Build photobooks from your favorite shots, add captions or voice notes, save prints to Photos, and view geotagged memories on a map.

Features:
• Instant-film inspired camera experience
• Classic Sun 600-style exposure control
• Retro film recipes and custom looks
• Realistic print frames and developing animation
• Optional 1980s-style date stamp
• Randomized light leaks and print imperfections
• Photobooks with captions, notes, and voice recordings
• Save finished prints to your photo library
• Optional location tagging and shot map
• Alternate app icons and camera skins

Sun 600 is made for people who miss the feeling of physical photos: slower, warmer, less perfect, and more personal.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-07-28

Sun600 is now more than an instant-film camera—every pack tells a story.

• Chemistry Passports record each print’s film stock, exposure, temperature, location, pack age, and capture style  
• Pack Stories transform eight exposures into shareable contact sheets, maps, chemistry summaries, and field notes  
• Create your own signature film stocks in the new Recipe Lab  
• Share and import custom Sun600 recipes  
• Darkroom Pack mode keeps your photographs sealed until the pack is complete  
• New creative pack challenges inspire more intentional shooting  
• Rediscover photographs taken near your current location  
• Added a composition grid, horizon level, center focus and metering, and supported zoom controls  
• Higher-quality archival exports and larger stored digital negatives  
• Faster image loading, smoother camera performance, and improved background storage  

Every exposure now carries the history of how—and where—it was made.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-09

Small stability and polish update:
- Fixed film pack shot counts so partially used packs stay accurate after relaunching.
- Improved the Shot Map and All Shots views to include photos saved in film pack history.
- Location access is now requested only when needed.
- Improved imported-photo filter previews.
- Fixed the gallery shortcut to show the newest shot.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-07

• Living Chemistry — Prints keep changing after they eject, just like real instant film. Loose prints slowly fade, warm, and yellow over the weeks; prints tucked into a photobook are shielded and age much slower. Want to stop time? Hit a favorite print with the new archival spray and it stays frozen exactly as it is, forever.

• Weather Chemistry — Turn it on in Settings and the real temperature where you're shooting gets into the film. Cold-weather shots develop slowly and settle into a moody blue; hot days race out fast and warm. Flip a print over to see where its chemistry came from — "Developed at 3°C."

• Filter Rail — Preview every film stock before you shoot. A new scrollable rail under the viewfinder paints each filter onto your actual scene — tap one and the viewfinder switches instantly. Your favorites sort to the front.

Plus small fixes and polish.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-06

This update improves stability and reliability:
• Fixed an issue that could cause photo data loss
• Fixed a freeze when browsing photobooks
• Fixed the widget displaying an incorrect version

### 1.0 — 2026-07-03

No release notes.
