Manual Vintage Camera Controls & RAW Simulation
Engineered for photographers who demand tactile, physical control over every parameter of exposure, framing, and analog rendering.
Real-Time Live Viewfinder Simulation
Unlike camera apps that slap a static filter on top of an already-processed JPEG, NeoFilm renders its film simulation directly inside the live camera viewfinder at 60 FPS using GPU-accelerated Metal and OpenGL fragment shaders.
- Instant Optical Feedback: See exactly how exposure, film grain, color curves, and halation interact with ambient lighting before you release the shutter.
- Zero Preview Lag: Hardware-accelerated color matrices compute tone curve transformations in real time with minimal power consumption.
- Aspect Ratio Framing: Switch between 3:2 (standard 35mm), 4:3 (medium format), 1:1 (square), and 16:9 (cinematic) viewfinders with tactile bezel masking.

Manual ISO, Shutter Speed & EV Compensation
Step away from auto-exposure compromise. NeoFilm’s curved exposure deck gives you direct mechanical tactile control over sensor sensitivity and shutter opening time.
- Manual ISO Steps: Select standard calibrated ISO stops (ISO 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400) or let Auto ISO manage sensor grain thresholds.
- Shutter Speed Control: Dial in exposure times from 1/8000s for sports and high-speed motion down to 1s handheld exposures with optical stabilization.
- EV Compensation (+/- 3 EV): Micro-adjust exposure values in 1/3-stop increments using a quick thumb dial when shooting in semi-automatic aperture priority mode.
Hardware Notice: Manual shutter speed, ISO range, and exposure lock are available on supported devices and lenses. Minimum and maximum values depend on device camera sensor specifications.
Hardware-calibrated step increments with haptic vibration detents on every stop.
Manual Focus with Live Color Focus Peaking
Never miss critical focus on eyes or portrait subjects. NeoFilm provides a tactile rotary focus ring alongside hardware-accelerated color focus peaking.
- Fluid Manual Focus Ring: Continuous smooth focus racking from macro close-up distance to true optical infinity.
- Color Focus Peaking: High-contrast edge highlights illuminate in-focus planes instantly, making manual focus fast, intuitive, and foolproof.
- One-Tap AF/MF Toggle: Instantly switch between auto-focus tap-to-track and manual rangefinder operation.
Real-time Sobel gradient filter isolates micro-contrast edges directly on GPU.
Live Histogram, Virtual Horizon & Framing Grids
Master your lighting balance and geometric alignment with professional composition overlays built directly into the viewfinder.
- Live Luminance Histogram: Real-time exposure distribution graph prevents clipped highlights and crushed shadow values.
- Dual-Axis Virtual Horizon: CoreMotion and sensor-driven gyroscope level indicator confirms pitch and roll to guarantee straight horizons.
- Custom Framing Grids: Choose Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio Spiral, or Square 1:1 framing lines.
- Kelvin & Tint Control: Adjust color temperature (2000K–9000K) and green/magenta tint to dial in the exact atmospheric white balance.
Camera Finishes, LCD Counters & Shutter Sounds
Make the camera your own. NeoFilm offers authentic customization options that mirror vintage mechanical equipment.
- Mechanical Shutter Sounds: Authentic acoustic clicks sampled from classic 35mm rangefinders and leaf-shutter cameras.
- LCD Frame Counter Styles: Customize your vintage frame counter with amber LED, inverted matrix, or classic mechanical odometer digits.
- Tactile Haptic Feedback: Finely tuned vibration pulses confirm dial rotations, focus locks, and shutter trips.
- Lens Switching & Smooth Zoom: Seamlessly jump between wide, standard, telephoto, and ultra-wide camera lenses on multi-camera devices.
Full customization settings accessible in NeoFilm Settings menu.
