What is OldCam?
OldCam is a camera app for iPhone and Android that makes your photos look like they came from a 2000s digital camera or an instant camera: CCD-style color, grain, blown highlights, a slight vignette and an amber date stamp. Pick one of 8 cameras and 11 looks, and you see the look live in the viewfinder before you shoot.
Is OldCam free?
Yes. OldCam is free to download and The Original camera is free to use with every setting. You can try every other camera and look live in the viewfinder; OldCam Pro lets you shoot with them for $9.99 a year (with a 14-day free trial) or $3.99 a month. Free photos carry a small OldCam mark.
Does OldCam edit photos I already took?
Not yet. OldCam processes photos as you take them with its camera. Applying the look to photos from your library is planned.
Where are my photos saved?
Every photo is saved to your iPhone's camera roll and to an album called OldCam. You can also review them in the app's own gallery.
Can I turn off the date stamp?
Yes. Tap DATE on the camera to switch the amber date stamp on or off. The stamp shows the year of the camera you are using, such as '03 or '07.
Does OldCam record video?
Yes. Camcorder mode records VGA movies with sound, in the look you see in the viewfinder, like the movie mode of a 2005 digicam. It is a one-time purchase of $7.99, separate from OldCam Pro.
What are the instant cameras?
Four instant cameras that frame the viewfinder as the print they make: square, mini, wide and a classic white-border style. Each shoots its own film look, and the photo develops on screen before it is saved as a bordered print.
Is OldCam on Android?
Yes. OldCam is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
How do I restore my OldCam Pro subscription?
Open the app, tap MENU, then OldCam Pro, and choose Restore purchases while signed in with the Apple ID you subscribed with.
How do I cancel OldCam Pro?
On your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose OldCam Pro. Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
Does OldCam upload my photos?
No. Photos are captured, processed and stored on your iPhone. OldCam has no accounts and no ads, and it does not track you.
How do I get featured on Instagram?
Post your photo on Instagram and tag @oldcam.vintage with #shotonoldcam. The Share button in OldCam copies a caption with the right tags for you.
