ava — Film Camera

ava is a film camera, not a filter app. Every photo is developed through a film engine modelled on real film: characteristic curves, halation bloom, silver-halide grain, per-stock colour science and an optical vignette. It feels like a different medium, not an effect laid on top. ━━━ 10 FILM STOCKS ━━━ Colour negative, slide, instant and black & white, each shown on its own photograph, shot in the light it is made for: • SUMMER DUST — golden hour, dusty and warm • MONSOON 2001 — rain light and deep greens • FLASHBACK '98 — flash at night, a bloom on every highlight • POSTCARD 1996 — blue skies and clean slide colour • ELECTRIC 2002 — cool, punchy blues • ROADTRIP 1974 — warm ambers and earthy reds • SUNSTROKE 1999 — hard sun and molten warmth • INSTANT 1988 — milky cream and soft blacks • SUNDAY 1985 — window light at home • NOIR 1955 — silver grain and deep contrast ━━━ A CAMERA THAT KNOWS YOUR PHONE ━━━ • See the film live before you press: the viewfinder is already developed. • On most phones the exposure dial moves the sensor itself, and stops where the sensor does. • The ultra-wide button uses your phone's real ultra-wide lens where it has one. • Long-press the viewfinder to lock focus and exposure. • The shutter click and haptic come when the photo is actually taken. • Turn the film's strength up or down. ━━━ CINE ━━━ Clips of up to 15 seconds at 24 fps on phones that support it, with the film look on the video. With sound, or silent. ━━━ ROLLS AND THE DIARY ━━━ Every photo becomes the next frame on a 36-frame roll. Your diary keeps them by day and by roll, with captions, and you can swipe from one to the next. Photos and clips stay in Ava until you save them: switch on Gallery in the diary to copy new ones as you take them, or save any one from the viewer. Ava keeps no backup, so anything you haven't saved is lost if you uninstall Ava, clear its storage or change phones. Share any of them from the diary. ━━━ PRIVATE BY DESIGN ━━━ No account, no sign-in, no ads. Ava has no internet access, so it can't upload your photos anywhere. And meet Kit, the little film can who keeps you company.

ava 2.0.11 brings a new film engine, Mist, and credits. • Mist, a soft filter on the lens: brighter tones glow and skin softens. On for selfies; tap the chip in the viewfinder to change. • Lamps glow red and orange like real film, and whites stay white when you add exposure. • Selfies expose for faces, with a warm screen light in dim rooms. • Sideways photos and clips save the right way up. • Fewer lost frames on phones with less memory.
