Want to bring your black & white photos to life? Try shooting Live Photos with Argentum. All images (Live Photos and stills) are processed in real-time, so you can see an Ansel Adams inspired landscape treatment or Irving Penn inspired portrait tones right on your screen while you're still composing your shot. Argentum Camera's interface is simple but functional, a balance between the modern sleekness and the classical forms. It is hardly noticeable and allows you to focus fully on composing the shot. It is also the first camera interface that adapts to the shift in handling. In the landscape mode, the shutter button slides to the end of the panel, placing it right under your thumb. FEATURE HIGHLIGHT Real-time Processing Argentum Camera processes images in real-time. The image you see while composing your shot is exactly the result you’ll get when you press the shutter button. Two Additional Shooting Modes Street shooting mode turns your whole screen into one large button. Tap it anywhere to take a shot. Double exposure mode lets you superimpose two different images in a single photo with real-time preview. Pro-tip: go for underexposure on both shots to compensate for exposing the sensor to light twice. Live Photos Bring your black & white images to life by turning the Live Photo mode on. Instant Preview This option lets you have a quick look at the photo you just took right after pressing the shutter button. No need to go all the way to the Gallery to check if you got the light or focus right. Keep Original Photos When this option is switched on original unprocessed photos will be stored in your Camera Roll. JPEG, HEIC, TIFF and RAW Save original and processed photos in JPEG, HEIC, or TIFF. Additionally, save the original photo in RAW. Adaptive Interface Layout In the landscape mode, the shutter button is shifted and placed right under your thumb. Torch & Flash In addition to the standard flash option, there is also a torch mode that provides continuous lighting for better control. AF/AE Lock Tap and hold on the screen to lock focus and exposure while composing the shot. Rich Metadata Argentum Camera saves your location and the filter you used in the EXIF, so you can always keep track of your best photos.

BALANCED MODE Inspired by Vision3 250D film stock, with its versatile personality and typical Hollywood-style color and contrast curves. DAYLIGHT MODE Based on the popular Portra 400 film; soft and warm hues and moderate contrast profile. Great for skin tones and dreamy landscapes. GRITTY MODE Inspired by the Lomography Metropolis film, which adds a "bleached" look that is reminiscent of gritty 90s movies. BLACK & WHITE MODES Following the characteristics black & white films, one mode offers a punchy and contrasty B&W style, while the other is soft and dreamy. NEON NIGHT (NEW) Enhances bright spots in night photos and adds vibrant, saturated glows for a "cyberpunk" vibe ETHEREAL (NEW) Classic soft focus mode, without the need to put grease on your lens! XP4N is consciously made to be the ultimate one-trick-pony. A point and shoot camera with only a single button: the shutter button. The internal image processing engine does the rest, based on your preferred film mode setting. (so don't expect deep camera controls... ;-). The resulting images are carefully tuned to have the pleasant silky quality of film and to get away from the oversharpened, hyper-punchy look typical of today's digital cameras.
