Are you drawn to the natural colors and gentle expressions unique to film photography, prompting you to start shooting with a film camera? However, you might not always carry a camera every time you go out. Especially since film can only be purchased at limited locations, you need to prepare for shooting.
For those who want to casually enjoy film-style shooting, we introduce three apps that allow you to take authentic film camera-style photos on your iPhone. A must-see for anyone who wants to capture 'nice' photos in everyday life!
〈EE35〉- Experience the Operation of a Film Camera

〈EE35〉 is an app that lets you enjoy the very operation of a film camera. You can enjoy the process of selecting and winding film. Like real film, after shooting a certain number of frames, the film is developed (saved), and you can view the photos. Of course, you can save and develop midway, allowing you to experience not only the analog charm of film but also the convenience of digital. A 300 yen charge is required upon download.
By dragging, you can replicate the action of winding the film. Although it's just an operation on the screen, it also serves as practice for film camera operation, offering a unique experience.
It results in a nostalgic texture with a faint color tone and a sense of melancholy. Additionally, many convenient features such as multiple exposures, square aspect ratio, and flash usage are available, and each operation is very simple.
〈Dazz〉- Enjoy a Nostalgic Filter Collection

〈Dazz〉 is an app that can recreate photos in the style of 80s film cameras. It offers a variety of cameras and accessories, allowing you to freely change the atmosphere of your photos. While some options are paid, many features can be enjoyed for free. Not only photos but also videos can be captured.
The expression may vary depending on the filter used, but vibrant and unique color expressions reminiscent of 〈FUJIFILM Fujicolor〉 are impressive.
〈Huji Cam〉- Bring 'Utsurun Desu' to Your Smartphone

〈Huji Cam〉 is an app that lets you enjoy the atmosphere of 'Utsurun Desu'. With simple operations, you can take photos like a film camera. Basic features are available for free, but a 100 yen charge (one-time payment) is required to save photos. It is popular as an app that can be enjoyed without pressure.
Based on the concept of a 1998 camera, the default date display is set to '98', but it can be changed to the date at the time of shooting. You can feel the attention to detail even in the date display feature.
How about it? For those hesitant to start with a film camera right away, it might be a good idea to start with an app. With the recent surge in film prices, even film-loving creators might want to use these apps to take casual 'film-like' photos.
