## What is Super 16 | 16mm Film Сamera?

Super 16 is a professional video camera application that allows you to create footage with real-time processing as vintage 16mm and 8mm film cameras do. This application provides extensive functionality for manual control, which can be useful for videographers and filmmakers. With Super 16, you can equally well shoot both atmospheric home footage (in 16mm or 8mm film style), reflecting your best moments, and professional cinematic scenes, or just take photos with a touch of old.

Powerful color adjustment
The application provides a set of >70 filters containing profiles of popular vintage Kodak Vision3 films, black-and-white filters and filters for cinema post-processing. You also have the option of manually preprocess color by changing the temperature, tint, saturation and color correction curve. You can track all changes in the distribution of colors in a frame using a color histogram.

Physical film emulation
The application allows you to emulate such aspects of analog film shooting as stains and scratches, frame shake (gate weave), flicker, grain, uneven emulsion coating etc. You can even choose overscanned film mode to see edges and film strip with holes, and apply film burn at any time you want. 

Professional shooting options
Super 16 allows you to change the focus and exposure settings, adjust the zoom for better shooting of various scenes. Camera shoots at authentic 24fps that creates movie effect. All parameters (including processing features) can be changed during the recording.

Convenience of use
You can create your own presets based on the available processing options. This allows you to immediately use the camera in the configuration you need, without having to re-configure. It is also possible to process existing video files with built-in video editor.

### 4/5 — Would give 5 stars, but…

*2026-08-11*

I would’ve given this app five stars, but they didn’t add another sign-in option and I can’t sign-in with my Apple account for reasons. If you could fix this, that would be amazing!

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2026-07-15*

I am currently working on my first feature film. With little to no budget, this app does a pretty decent color grade. Has many options, and ability to change settings and save filters. I only use the free version of this app, however, it is more than enough, and comparatively to the countless other apps I’ve tried? Not even close. This is just such a wonderful app.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-06-18, version 1.2.7*

For amateur filmmakers this app is brilliant and a lot of fun! The only thing it’s missing is the ability to shoot in log for more post pro grading, other than that I can’t fault the app, so easy to use and the results are great!

### 5/5 — Amazing software

*2026-06-01, version 1.2.7*

Honestly am blown away by the quality of

### 1/5 — Wants access to full album

*2026-05-04, version 1.2.7*

Wants access to full albulm else it wont work at all?   Ha.   .im not giving some random app access to my entire gallery.   Make it add only or make it run based on selected only.

### 5/5 — Actually free

*2026-02-24, version 1.2.7*

Exactly what you’re looking for

### 5/5 — App is great but buggy

*2026-02-22*

It was working great until i couldn’t see the camera image anymore. Haven’t gotten it to work again, but given that I can’t see any image I can’t take any pictures. But this is the best film app i’ve ever used

### 5/5 — Шикарно, это лучший процессинг

*2026-02-08*

Шикарное приложение, лучшая эмуляция аналога на ходу. Конечно хотелось бы интерфейс подправить, чтобы не вылезали иконки за экран а так же правильную ориентацию при вертикальной съемке и чтобы не сбрасывалась съемка при случайно вылезающих оповещениях справа которые из-за неправильной ориентации, и случайного вызова меню громкости при нажатии кнопки записи справа снизу 😃. Так же  чтобы при съемке в 4к не было рывков и пропуска кадров 🙂. Еще можно кнопку неактивную кнопку записи сделать не красную, чтобы активная запись имела более явные отличия от не активной.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-01-27*

The app seems great in that the video effects and tools are useful, easy to use, and look great…unfortunately in my case there are some kind of bugs that are preventing proper saving of the videos, which makes the rest of the features pointless. Specifically, this happened with videos that I had pre-recorded and edited inside the app. When I saved the videos it said they were saved to the gallery, but were actually nowhere to be found—either within the app or on my phone. Strangely, it did work one time, but all subsequent attempts failed (the “saved” video disappeared). It seemed to successfully record and save video and photos recorded within the app.

### 5/5 — The best app on my phone

*2026-01-26*

I love this app. It’s incredible. Thank you so much for creating it. I wish I could buy a lifetime sub for it.
