Shoot clean photos, then give them a film look. Or don't. CMRA is a camera for people who want photos that feel real: twelve film looks, true grain, nothing forced. Keep the original. Or pick Portra, Kodachrome, Tri-X and more, dial in some grain, and see it live in the viewfinder before you press the shutter. What you see is what you save. NO FUSS • One screen, a big shutter, nothing in the way • Tap to focus, pinch or step zoom across every lens • 4:3, 16:9 or full-screen framing • Light control: one slide to adjust exposure FILM LOOKS • Twelve looks based on classic stocks: Portra 400, Kodachrome 64, Ektar 100, Fuji 400H, Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Pro Neg Hi, Acros, HP5, Tri-X • Grain from a whisper to heavy • Original is always there. No look is ever forced on you MADE FOR IPHONE • Full-resolution photos • Camera Control button support • Shoot from the Lock Screen without unlocking • Full iPhone Duo support, open or closed • Home Screen widget and Shortcuts to open the camera instantly • Show focal length in mm instead of zoom, if you shoot that way FREE AND PRIVATE • No account, no subscription, no ads • Photos go straight to your library • Like it?
