CoreCam

iPhone / Photo et vidéo

CoreCam is a love letter to the look and feel of photos taken with digital cameras from the early 2000s.

It’s built around a computational model of early digicam optical and electronic properties, and its graphics engine runs in real time as you frame your shot. Every camera you select via the camera switcher is modeled after a specific digicam model and vibe.

NEW: Edit Mode

Edit any photo or video on your phone using the same camera modes and controls you already know from shooting.

Edit mode also includes standard adjustments like exposure, temperature, saturation, and more.

Just like early camera hardware, CoreCam offers a simple, point-and-shoot interface. Using the main slider above the shutter button, you can stir and influence the behavior of the digicam emulation engine, changing the look of your images. By design, CoreCam produces low-resolution images of ~1MP. Our philosophy is the opposite of pixel-peeping into 4K HDR footage: low fidelity, high emotion.

VIDEO MODE

Switch to video mode with a single tap and capture footage with your virtual digicam. CoreCam also adapts your recording's audio profile to simulate the authentic microphone quality of the early 2000s.

LORES MODE

Lores mode allows you to virtually downscale CoreCam’s image sensor to any size between 0.3 MP, VGA (640×480), and 144p webcam levels. It works with all cameras, including video and selfie mode.

NEW CAM: [seele]

[seele] is an homage to the soul of early 2000s digicams and camera phones, the Cyber-shot and RAZR era. It has two different characters you can dial in using the main bias slider.

SPECIAL EFFECTS

Each camera has a special effects mode that lets you push the digicam aesthetic to the limit:

- ccd+ (jpgX): degraded chroma grain, reduced detail, and real JPEG compression artifacts for dreamy Y2K shots
- seele (bayer): Bayer CFA + fast demosaic, where fine detail collapses into moiré, false color, and zippered edges
