ARCH Cam is a spatial film camera. Every photo is shot on film: a cinematic film stock and fine grain are baked in the moment you press the shutter. And your shots don't disappear into a grid. They float around you in a 3D arch you can spin, pinch and walk through. - Five film stocks: Standard 500, Chrome 250, Gold 400, Cool 300, Monochrome 100. - Hold the viewfinder to meter: drag up and down for exposure, left to soften the film. - Develop: give photos already in your library the same film look. - Video, graded on the same stocks. - Arches: a spatial room for every trip, month or place. - Formations: sphere, color, helix, cube, cylinder, rings, waves. - Lock-screen and Control Center button straight into the camera. Free: a 24-exposure roll every week. ARCH Cam Pro: unlimited film, yearly or monthly with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
