A video camera that gives you a film, not footage. Hold the red button to record, let go to stop. Every clip joins the last, so by the end of the day your film is already made, with its own music underneath. Camcorder is deliberately simple. No camera settings, no numbers on the screen, nothing to tidy later. A kid or a grandparent gets it in a second. It is made for remembering, not for photography. FILM • Tap or hold the red button to record. Double tap it for pre-roll: your next tap keeps the seconds before it. • Double tap the picture to flip the camera, even while recording. Double tap and hold to bring the other camera in as a small picture. • Drag a finger on the picture for colour, two fingers for a lens look. Shake to start again. The look is part of the footage. • Turn the ring around the button for another camera: Film, Noir, Synth, Rotoscope, Comic. • Upright or sideways, every clip is the same rounded square. There is no wrong way to hold it. WATCH • Swipe the strip, tap to pause, drag to scrub. • Hold and slide to cut, then tap the scissors. No timeline, no editing suite. • Double tap a frame and it develops into an instant print, with the city and month on it. Save it to Photos or let it go. MUSIC • An original score plays under every film: piano, guitar, harp, beats, air, or none. • Drag the note to change the mood. Double tap it to perform the music as the film plays. EVERYONE'S CLIPS, IN ORDER At a party or a game, swap clips with the phones around you and they fall into your film in the order things happened. No account, no sign-in, no internet, no charge. SHARE • Save your film to Photos, or send it anywhere. • Publish films to your own channels on the web, follow the channels of the people you love, and watch them on Apple TV. One red button. A film at the end of it. HOSTING PLANS Recording, music, prints, saving and sharing nearby are free. Publishing to the web needs a Hosting Plan, an auto-renewable subscription: 1, 5 or 20 hours of film, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
