iPhone
A film-inspired camera you actually control.
Dials for aperture, focal length and exposure, and looks you tune to your own taste.
Photography and video recording.
EMST Camera is a film-inspired camera app you operate like a camera.
Not a filter you drop on afterwards.
Pick a look, set your exposure, aperture and focal length, and shoot.
Live preview of the settings directly in viewfinder.
YOUR CONTROL
• A dial-based shooting interface: one scroll wheel drives exposure, aperture, focal length and aspect ratio.
• Aperture dial with depth-of-field rendering.
• Focal length presets pinned to your iPhone's real lenses.
• Mirrorless-style autofocus: a persistent AF box, tap to move it, AF lock to recompose.
• Grid and level overlays when you want them, nothing when you don't.
YOUR LOOK
• Built-in film-inspired looks, from warm evening color to cool dusk tones and true monochrome + Natural for a clean, untouched capture.
• Every look is tunable: grain, halation, vignette, clarity and color temperature.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, everything happens on your device.
Open the camera straight from control center or lock screen with shortcut extension.
EMST Camera iOS app from Emaki Studio, a small independent photo toolkit.
Ratings & Reviews

Video has arrived, with your looks baked in.
• Video mode: switch the mode button to V and the shutter records a clip with the selected look, grain, halation and vignette in the file, exactly as the viewfinder shows it. 1080p or 4K, with sound.
• Zoom across all lenses while recording. The lens dial runs continuously in Video mode, ultra-wide to telephoto in one clip, and you can turn continuous zoom on for photos too.
• Frame-rate dial in the shutter's slot: 24, 25, 30, 60 and 120 fps. Below 24 is a time-lapse, above 60 is slow motion.
• Video stabilization in three steps and audio noise reduction, both in Settings.
• Pinch the viewfinder to zoom and swipe for exposure. Bluetooth camera grips made for the built-in Camera work here too.
• The front camera zooms, and the camera flip is now a button at the wide end of the lens dial.
• Save into an EMST Camera album in Photos, switch it on in Settings.
• Settings regrouped, with tap-for-help on any setting instead of notes.
