Now so many years later, those pictures seem so dreamy, so I've tried to recreate all aspects of making it.\n\nProcessing\nThe camera recreates all the artifacts inherent in the old CMOS sensors of mid-range phones, like bayer filter artifacts, dark and banding noises, blooming etc. You can pinch to zoom to make it more visible, the digital zoom will reduce the quality of the photo just like on an old phone.\n\nInterface\nThe interface will be recognized by all who had an any Nokia with Series 40 or Symbian S60, all control is done with three buttons at the bottom. You can shoot on camera, record video or import your own photos for processing. Nothing extra.\n\n\nP.S.
