About

Fault Camera

Features
Read full description

Fault Camera is not a normal camera. You cannot see what you capture. The preview is intentionally hidden. Each photo is taken blindly, without framing or adjustment. After capture, the system assigns a random “error program” to the image. The result is not a filter, but a transformation produced by simulated failures in image processing. Each image may be: - reordered - displaced - partially corrupted - structurally broken You cannot choose the outcome. You cannot reproduce it. Fault Camera is an experiment about control, perception, and the technical nature of images. --- Features: - Black screen capture (no preview) - One-tap capture - Random error processing - Save results to your photo library --- This is not a filter app. This is not a conventional camera. Fault Camera 不是一款普通的相机。 你无法看到你正在拍摄的画面。 预览被刻意隐藏。每一张照片都在“不可见”的状态下完成,没有构图与调整。 拍摄完成后,系统会为图像随机分配一个“错误程式”。结果不是滤镜,而是由图像处理失效所产生的重构。 图像可能会: - 被重新排序 - 被错位 - 局部损坏 - 结构断裂 你无法选择结果。 也无法复现它。 这是一个关于控制、感知与图像技术性的实验。

Latent is a film camera, not a camera app. Load a roll, raise the viewfinder, and shoot 36 frames on a plain screen. No preview. No retakes. No delete. You won't see a single photo until the roll is finished, and then it develops for 48 hours, the way film always made you wait. When it's ready, your roll arrives as a contact sheet with a real film stock's look baked in: grain, color, halation, the whole character. No sliders, no undo. What you shot is what you get. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • 36 frames per roll. Make each one count. • No screen between you and the moment, just a viewfinder. • A true 48-hour develop. The anticipation is the point. • Film stocks with distinct looks, applied at develop time. FILM STOCKS Shoot different stocks for different moods: warm and grainy, cool and clean, high-contrast black & white, and limited editions that come and go. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your photos never leave your phone. No account, no servers, no cloud. No analytics, no tracking, nothing sold or shared. Nothing to sign up for, and nothing to opt out of. LATENT UNLIMITED Go unlimited with a subscription: never run out of rolls and unlock every film stock, with limited editions first. Prefer to pay as you go? Buy single rolls anytime. Made slowly. Shoot like it matters. Latent Unlimited is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically for the same price and period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions. Privacy Policy: https://getlatent.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://getlatent.app/terms
