  • Portraits and slow moments suit softer eras: 1972 Instant Fold (Pro) or the free 1895 Glass Plate.
  • Travel and everyday streets look at home in 1987 35 mm Compact (Pro).
  • Phone-era nostalgia lives in 2009 Early Phone Cam (Pro), 2010 Square Feed and 2014 Social Camera (both free).
  • For video, 1995 Home Video (Pro) records camcorder-style clips.

Free eras: 1895, 1900, 1994, 1998, 2004, 2010, 2014 and This Phone. Pro eras: 1972, 1987, 1995, 2009 and 2020. Some colour profiles and camera bodies inside free eras are also part of Pro.
