CoreCam

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.

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.

Lores Mode

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

Special Effects Modes

Each camera has a special effects mode that lets you push the digicam aesthetic to the limit. For example, the ccd+ cam's jpgX mode transforms your images to resemble shots from a vintage CCD camcorder. It applies coarse, multi-coloured grain, reduces the capture resolution and introduces authentic JPEG compression artefacts for dreamy shots straight out of y2k era image forums.

Video Mode

Switch to video mode with a single tap and capture footage with your virtual digicam. CoreCam is the only app that also adapts your recording's audio profile to simulate the authentic microphone quality of the y2k era.
