Choosing a film look

True to life, with a little grain. Use it when the colours are already right, a bright market or a painted wall, and you just want texture and the soft edges of film. It's also one of the two films on the free rolls.

Golden hour, all day. It's the default for a reason: warm colour that flatters skin, lifted shadows and visible grain. If you only use one film, use this one. It's the other film on the free rolls.

Hazy light and gentle colour. Good for overcast days, pale stone, mornings and anything that should feel quiet. Avoid it in already flat light, where it can look washed out.

Honey tones and golden-hour warmth, stronger than Warm 35. It suits beaches, summer evenings and candlelit tables. On a grey day it adds the sun back; in strong sunset light, turn the Intensity down.

Vivid colour and crisp slide-film contrast. This is the film for blue water, bright skies and bold colours at midday, when other films can look muddy. It's less kind to skin in harsh light.

Cool blue shadows and rosy highlights. Made for the blue hour after sunset, city lights coming on and the walk home after dinner.

Like a print left in the sun: soft contrast, lifted blacks and muted colour. Use it for scenes you want to feel like an old memory. It pairs well with a cream frame.

Punchy colour and nostalgic party-photo contrast. Turn the flash on, get close, and shoot birthdays, dinners and nights out. It's the closest film to a classic disposable after dark.

The two black and white films. Noir has deep blacks and bright whites, for strong shapes, shadows and dramatic light. Mono 400 is textured and grainy, for street photos, portraits and anything where colour would distract.

Every film has two sliders. Intensity runs from a hint of the look to all of it: turn it down when the light is already strong, up when it's flat. Grain sets how much texture you see; keep it lower for colour and higher for black and white.

The light leak is separate. It adds an occasional burst of colour at the edge of the frame, and it's best used now and then rather than on every shot.

Each roll has one film, so pick the one that suits most of the day. With Keep originals on in Settings, you can change the film of a single print later. Free rolls use Original or Warm 35; DisCam Pro unlocks every film.
