PocketRoll is a film camera for your pocket. Pick a roll and shoot. No editing afterwards. Pick a roll, then shoot • Nine film stocks, from soft warm portrait film and vivid fine-grain colour to airy pastels, cinema film with a red glow around night lights, and grainy black and white. • See the film look live in the viewfinder. What you see is exactly what you get. • Real grain, halation around bright lights, vignetting and each stock's own colour. Shoot it like a real roll • Load 24, 36 or 72 half-frame exposures. The film stays in until the roll is finished. • Wind the lever after every shot. • Send the roll to the lab and wait an hour, or until tomorrow morning. Until then you only see orange negatives. • Developed rolls open as a contact sheet with frame numbers on the film edge. • 2-in-1 mode prints two half frames side by side. 90s compact camera touches • Orange date stamp in the corner. • Light leaks, dust and scratches, different on every frame. • Film-strip, instant-print and white borders. • 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, 16:9 and full-screen framing. Camera controls when you want them • Auto, or set ISO and shutter speed yourself in third stops. • Exposure compensation, white balance, tap to focus and manual focus. • 0.5Ɨ, 1Ɨ and 2Ɨ lenses, plus pinch to zoom. • Shoot with the volume buttons or Camera Control. • Grid and level, self-timer, flash. Develop old photos • Put photos from your library through any film. The date stamp uses the day they were taken. Your photos stay on your phone. PocketRoll collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere.
