Features: • Instant-film inspired camera experience • Classic Sun 600-style exposure control • Retro film recipes and custom looks • Realistic print frames and developing animation • Optional 1980s-style date stamp • Randomized light leaks and print imperfections • Photobooks with captions, notes, and voice recordings • Save finished prints to your photo library • Optional location tagging and shot map • Alternate app icons and camera skins Sun 600 is made for people who miss the feeling of physical photos: slower, warmer, less perfect, and more personal.
