Fotone: Film Camera runs on iPhone with iOS 18.0 or later.
The order is the same as on a real film camera. If you are new to it, follow these five steps.
123Swipe the camera to turn its back toward you, and tap the back twice to open it. Carry one of the film cans below into the 1 film chamber.
Tap the 3 rewind knob to push it down, pull the film leader to the 2 take-up spool, and close the back.
1Tap the 1 eyepiece on the back to open the viewfinder. The scene is shown in your film's colors.
If the eyepiece cap is on, take it off first.
12Below the viewfinder you see the camera from above. Pull the 1 wind lever until it stops, then press the 2 shutter button.
Wind before every shot. The shutter won't fire until you do. Turn on Auto Wind under Fotone in the Settings app, and the lever winds by itself after each shot.
1When you are done, press the rewind button on the bottom of the camera and turn the 1 rewind crank clockwise until the counter reads S.
You can rewind before all 24 frames are shot. The back stays shut until you rewind.
Open the back and carry the can to the Lab at the top of the screen. In the Lab, the part to touch next lights up: pull the film leader out, close the lid, hook the latch, and press the green START button.
Negatives and prints drop into an envelope. Your photos appear in the Album and are also saved to the "Fotone" folder in the Photos app.
Pull the wind lever until it stops. After frame 24, rewind and load a new roll.
If the eyepiece cap is on, take it off. Turn the camera so its back faces you, then tap the eyepiece.
While film is loaded, the back stays shut until you rewind (this protects your photos). Press the rewind button on the bottom and turn the crank.
Photos stay unseen until the roll is developed. To check each shot as you go, turn on Review Photos under Fotone in the Settings app.
In the Settings app, open Fotone, then Photos, and choose Full Access. Your photos are also kept inside the app, and are sent to the Photos app the next time you open it after allowing access.
Set the aperture ring to a number instead of A. Background blur is not available on iPhones without an Ultra Wide camera, with Silent Shooting on, or with the zoom ring below 24 mm.
Put the flash on the camera, switch its power to ON, and wait for the lamp to glow orange before you shoot. The flash never fires while Silent Shooting is on (turn it off under Fotone in the Settings app). In AUTO it fires only in low light.
Within 30 days, you can restore it from Recently Deleted in the Album.
In the Settings app, under Fotone (Review Photos, Silent Shooting, Auto Wind, language and others). Exposure and color are changed by moving the camera's own parts.
It helps to include your iPhone model, the iOS version, and what you did on which screen and what happened.
