Thanks for using POLACAM! This update makes shooting, writing and viewing more fun. ■ Choose your camera Switch between "Polaroid" and "Normal" in Settings. Normal works like the iPhone camera, with zoom from 0.5× and a shutter button. Photos are always 1:1. ■ Type a message Type up to three lines in the white border below the photo. Pick from three hand-lettered fonts. ■ Peek Show the undeveloped photo very faintly, so you know exactly where to write. ■ New "Vivid" look Along with Polaroid, High-key and Normal, there's now Vivid — rich, punchy colors. ■ Smoother handwriting Finger strokes are smoothed automatically, and the white outline looks cleaner. When you zoom in, the photo fills the whole screen. ■ Illustrated guide Animated illustrations explain Live Photos and the long press. Open it at launch or from Settings. Every setting now has an illustration and a short explanation too. ■ And more ・A fresh new home screen ・A brighter, easier-to-read LCD date
