A real camera in your pocket: film looks you see while you shoot, dials for shutter, ISO and focus, lenses, filters, RAW and Log video. Dazzle Cam is a film camera, not a filter app. Load a film, turn the dials, and see the picture the way the film sees it — in the viewfinder, before you press the shutter. LOAD A FILM • 66 looks built from how real films and cameras render colour: portrait and consumer negatives, slide films, cinema stocks, eleven black-and-white emulsions, classic camera profiles, and thirteen lighting moods from golden hour to neon night • Every look shows its grain, halation and colour balance in the viewfinder, live • Nine looks are included; Pro unlocks the whole shelf TURN THE DIALS • Shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance on physical-feeling dials, with AUTO, P, S, ISO and M modes and the classic white balance presets • Focus by distance on a lens scale, with peaking, a magnifier and a depth map from the LiDAR • A zoom lever on the shutter collar, pulled like a real camera's • Light meter read-outs, zebra stripes, false colour, a live histogram and a level LENSES AND FILTERS • Ultra-wide, wide, a 35 mm street lens, 48 MP main, telephoto and front lenses, each shown as the lens it is • 23 lens filters that screw onto the front: polariser, ND and graduated ND, black mist, soft focus, anamorphic streaks, star filters, and the colour and warming filters of black-and-white and film photography (UV, the polariser and ND8 are included; Pro adds the rest) STILLS AND MOVIES • HEIF with the look applied, plus ProRAW or Bayer RAW beside it • The negative is kept: Revert in Photos gives back the clean picture, and the Darkroom prints any picture again with another film, exposure or white balance; pinch to see the grain before you print • Portrait: the lens opened up from f/1.4 to f/5.6, with depth from the LiDAR or worked out from the picture on the iPhone • A date stamp in the corner, printed the way a film camera's data back did it • Long exposures with light trails, held steady in the hand • Movies in HEVC or ProRes, as SDR with the look applied, or as HLG and Apple Log for grading later • Video stabilisation, noise reduction for the microphone, 4K and high frame rates where your iPhone offers them • Landscape pictures saved landscape, with full camera metadata THE HANDBOOK A built-in handbook explains every control and the photography behind it: exposure, depth of field, colour temperature, the 180° shutter rule, polarisers, histograms and more — written for photographers, with figures drawn from the camera itself. DAZZLE CAM PRO Pro unlocks the whole bag and the pro pipeline: all 66 film looks, every lens filter, RAW and 48 MP stills, 4K at 60 fps, ProRes, Apple Log and HLG, bracketing, light trails, microphone noise reduction, the depth map and false colour. Every dial and mode, the focus aids, the level and histogram, HEIF stills, HD movies and the Handbook are yours whether you buy Pro or not. Available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as Lifetime, a one-time purchase. The looks are Pentarab's own models of how films and cameras render colour; no film or camera manufacturer is affiliated with or endorses this app. Support: https://pentarab.com/dazzlecam/support — Subscription Details — • Dazzle Cam Pro • Length: 1 month or 1 year, automatically renewed each period • Price: see in-app pricing for your region • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase • Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Subscriptions may be managed and auto-renewal turned off in your Account Settings on the App Store Terms of Use (EULA): https://pentarab.com/dazzlecam/terms Privacy Policy: https://pentarab.com/dazzlecam/privacy

This isn't just a camera app, it's a work of art. The skeuomorphic design harkens to the iPhoneOS days. Even the text descriptors in the settings. I don't understand them, but they're beautiful words to read. Very generous of them to offer lifetime membership free until 2026-10-26. Everybody should experience this app even if they're not a photography enthusiast.

Thank you for this. The early iPhone apps were our reference: a camera you could almost feel in your hand, with dials and keys that look like the real thing.The words in Settings are photography terms. The Handbook, in Settings, explains each one and the photography behind it, with figures drawn from the camera itself.We're glad the lifetime offer reached you, and thank you for recommending Dazzle Cam to people who don't call themselves photographers.

• Darkroom: pinch to look closer at the grain, touch and hold to compare with the picture before, and new exposure, white balance and portrait blur dials that work before the film. • Portrait: stills with the lens opened up, using the LiDAR's depth or depth worked out from the picture. Turn it on in Settings → Stills. • White balance presets: Tungsten, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy and Shade, on a key beside the dial. • Date stamp: the day printed into the corner of your stills, like a film camera's data back. Turn it on in Settings → Stills, or add it to any picture in the Darkroom. • RAW while zoomed in: the DNG keeps the full frame, and the photo is the frame you saw. • Chinese, Simplified and Traditional: the whole app, the Handbook included.
