About

Tensei Kamera

Read full description

Tensei Kamera is a camera for still photos and video. Choose a camera before you shoot: • Snapshot uses a 35 mm frame, a soft plastic lens, and color-negative film. • Silver 400 uses black-and-white 400-speed film, visible silver grain, and smooth highlights. • Chrome III uses color-reversal film, crisp midtones, saturated primary colors, and protected highlights. • Street uses black-and-white 400-speed film and a yellow filter. Photo mode combines several frames. This protects highlights and reduces noise. The live viewfinder shows the selected camera before capture. Video mode includes Cinematic and 90s VHS. Cinematic uses natural tone, protected highlights, and clean sound. 90s VHS uses soft camcorder detail, tape artifacts, and tape-style mono sound. Tensei Kamera keeps your work on your device. It has no account, ads, analytics, or tracking.
