Capture your most special moments, while enjoying them fully. Now helps you to live in the moment, and capture valuable memories without the distractions of taking the perfect picture. With print mode, your photos are printed and delivered to your home. Now is specifically designed to capture moments quickly, so that you can continue enjoying the moment itself. We do that through the following unique features: PRINT MODE: If you enable print mode, your next photos will be printed and delivered. Much like the times of analog cameras, you will not see your photos until they arrive at your home as a pleasant surprise and valuable memory. But now with the convenience of shipping services today. Your photos will be printed on high quality photo paper of 10 x 15 cm. They will be shipped in firm plastic free, 100% recyclable kraft paper packaging. NO INSTANT REVIEW: Once you take a photo, it will be developed to be viewed and remembered later. No retakes, no distractions. Just authentic moments. LIMITED DAILY SHOTS: This helps you to focus on the moments that truly matter. SMALL VIEWFINDER: Just a rough composition is enough. The small viewfinder helps you to stay away from trying to take the perfect picture and stay in the moment. Enjoy. Capture. Continue. Of course, your photos remain your property and are not used by Now or third parties for any other purposes than the services provided through our app. The details of our privacy policy and terms and conditions are described here: Privacy Policy: https://nowcamera.com/privacy.html Terms & Conditions: https://nowcamera.com/terms.html
