The 0.3MP Camera is a tribute to the button phone cameras from '00s, in those days, we had enough 0.3 megapixels and 640x480 resolution to capture the best moments. Now so many years later, those pictures seem so dreamy, so I've tried to recreate all aspects of making it. Processing The camera recreates all the artifacts inherent in the old CMOS sensors of mid-range phones, like bayer filter artifacts, dark and banding noises, blooming etc. You can pinch to zoom to make it more visible, the digital zoom will reduce the quality of the photo just like on an old phone. Interface The interface will be recognized by all who had an any Nokia with Series 40 or Symbian S60, all control is done with three buttons at the bottom. You can shoot on camera, record video or import your own photos for processing. Nothing extra. P.S. This is the first (released 20 Jan 2023) and best app on the AppStore (over 58,000 five-star reviews worldwide) that emulates the mobile phone camera from the 2000s. All others (even the big and popular apps) mimic this one. Beware of fakes! Instagram: @0.3mp_camera
