Monochrome Film: B&W Camera

Not a filter applied after the fact. The preview is already black and white, and what you see is exactly what lands in the file.

Shoot video that looks like an old black-and-white film. Anyone can.

An ordinary street corner, framed in nothing but black and white, starts to look like a scene from a movie. There is nothing complicated to set up: just watch the screen while you shoot and pick the look you like.

Become the director of your own black-and-white film, in an instant.
