About

Ordinary Camera

Read full description

What you see on the screen is what the photograph keeps. You choose the film before the shot, and it is saved inside the picture as you take it. One press, one exposure. Nothing to edit afterwards. CONTROLS Everything runs from the shutter. Tap it to take a photo. Slide up and down to zoom. Slide left and right to set whatever control is open. One thumb, without looking away from the picture. INCLUDED Full manual: ISO, shutter speed, white balance, exposure compensation, lens. Manual focus with peaking. Six films, with grain and halation. Self timer. Side buttons take the photo. The shutter sound can be turned off. Photographs stay on your phone. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No RAW. The look is in the file as the picture is taken, so there is nothing underneath to go back to. No video mode. Sequence saves a video file, but you cannot film with it. Back camera only. No subscription. No account. No ads. No analytics. ORDINARY PLUS One payment, once. Double exposure, up to nine layers. Sequence, shot frame by frame and saved as video. Four more films. Recipes you can change and name yourself. An Auto mode that opens on your own settings. WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE Dark rooms stay dark. Movement blurs. Grain shows. Those are the things I did not want corrected. MADE BY One person in Prague, who also builds lenses out of used single-use cameras. One piece of glass, nothing else in the way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ManFocus at none against Ordinary Camera's 1. Ordinary Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
