iPhone
Hay Cam is a retro film camera built for iPhone. Every frame you see in the viewfinder is the frame you keep — colors, grain, halation, light leaks,
and timestamp burn-in are rendered live with Metal, never tacked on as a filter.
WHY HAY CAM
Most "vintage" camera apps stack filters on top of a normal photo. Hay Cam doesn't. The film look is part of the capture pipeline, so what you frame
is what you get. Tap the shutter and you hear a real leaf-shutter click, feel a haptic pulse, and get a full-resolution photo saved straight to
your library.
LIVE FILM LOOKS
• Authentic 3D LUT color grading from classic film stocks
• Halation — that warm red glow on highlights, just like real film
• Optional date burn-in (90s camcorder style)
SHOOT LIKE A REAL CAMERA
• Camera personas: Film 35mm, VHS, CCD, Polaroid-style chrome
• Lens focal lengths: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm equivalents
• Manual ISO and shutter speed with live readout
• Exposure compensation strip (EV bias)
• Tap to focus and lock exposure
• Front and back cameras, hardware flash plus screen flash for selfies
• Portrait orientation, optimized for one-hand shooting
SENSORY DETAILS
• Real leaf-shutter sound effect
• Haptic pulse on capture
• Mechanical viewfinder UI with retro fonts
• Splash and shutter animations tuned for that "real camera" feel
