Read full description

The DIGIX AMR1 camera delivers authentic retro vibes inspired by classic Japanese camera design and engineering. We drew on iconic 1980s 35mm film SLR cameras like the Canon AE-1 and Minolta SR-1, along with modern cameras like the Fujifilm X100VI, to create a camera app masterpiece worth owning. Use the AMR1 in Auto Mode for quick, easy shooting, or, just like a classic 1980s camera, switch to fully Manual Mode to control focus, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, and switch between iPhone lenses with real focal length and aperture data. Create film-like images with intentional control — just like shooting with a real film camera. The DIGIX AMR1 is also a great learning tool for the Exposure Triangle: the relationship between shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. NEW in 3.0! A brand-new camera, drawn from scratch, with shine and shadows that move across the metal as you tilt your iPhone. On iPhone 18 Pro, roll the new aperture wheel to control the real lens iris, from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0. DIGIX AMR1 includes 8 film simulations, inspired by the film stocks we used in the 1980s, plus 5 SLR camera lens filters. Auto Mode - Free for Everyone: • All users get Auto Mode for free. • The camera automatically sets focus, shutter speed, and ISO. Full Access - Manual Mode: • Get Full Access to unlock Manual Mode. • Control focus, shutter speed, ISO, and exposure compensation. • Switch between all your iPhone lenses. • Control the real aperture on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. • Shutter priority: set the shutter speed and let ISO adjust automatically. • Load 8 film simulations and 5 lens filters. • Full Access is a one-time purchase. No subscription. SUPPORT: For support, go to https://www.digiguys.com FAQ: Q: Why would I want Full Access with Manual Mode? A: Managing focal length, shutter speed, ISO, and aperture together is how professional photographers get amazing photos. Manual Mode gives you complete creative control. Q: Can I set individual dials to automatic or manual? A: Yes, in Manual Mode you can set each dial to automatic, like “Priority Settings” on professional cameras. Q: Can I change lenses? A: Yes, with Full Access, swipe to the front of the camera to change lenses. The camera detects every lens on your iPhone, just like a professional camera. Q: Can I control the aperture? A: Yes, on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: the aperture wheel sets ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8 or ƒ/4.0. On other iPhones, each lens’s aperture is fixed, and the aperture window shows its true value. Q: Does it include film simulation? A: Yes, 8 film simulations inspired by 1980s film stock: Chrome, Fade, Instant, Mono, Noir, Process, Tonal, and Transfer. Q: Does it include lens filters? A: Yes, 5 lens filters: Warm 81B, Cool 80A, Soft Focus, Star 6X, and Graduated ND. Q: Can I use flash and a self-timer? A: Yes, both trigger on the next shutter button press. Q: Does it save the photo details? A: Yes. Every photo keeps its full EXIF: shutter speed, ISO, aperture and lens, plus the film simulation and lens filter you used.
