Help & feedback

Swipe the dial on the camera back left or right. The LCD shows the new camera's look live, and the body colour and nameplate change with it.

That is the point: each camera saves at the file size its era had, for example 640 × 480 on the Flip VGA. With Pocket Digicam Pro, switch on Settings → HD files to save the full-size picture from any camera. On the Flip VGA, Big pixels saves a double-size copy with sharp pixel edges.

Tap DATE on the camera back to switch the stamp on or off. The order (year-month-day, month-day-year or day-month-year) is under MENU → Settings → Date format. With Pro, Custom date prints any date you choose.

Tap FLASH to cycle off, auto and on. On the back camera the app fires the phone's torch and adds the on-camera flash look. On the front camera the screen turns white for a moment to light your face.

Yes. Tap the import button on the camera back and choose Choose from your photos. Android's photo picker shares only the photo you pick with the app. The developed copy is saved as a new photo and the original is not changed.

Eight photos come with the app so you can try each camera straight away. They are winners of Wiki Loves Monuments, the Wikimedia community's yearly photo contest, and are shared on Wikimedia Commons under open licences. The authors, licences and links are in MENU → Settings → Photo credits. If you share a copy you developed from one, credit the author and licence, for example "Photo: Preecha.MJ / Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0". The copy's EXIF data carries this credit too.

No. Every photo is developed on your phone and stays there. See the Privacy Policy.

The Kira CCD, DV-99 and Luxe 35 cameras, a custom date stamp, HD files and Pro cameras added in later updates. You can try a Pro camera in the live preview; the upgrade screen appears when you press the shutter.

Make sure the phone is signed in to the Google account that bought it, then open the Pro screen and tap Restore purchases. A pending payment unlocks Pro as soon as Google Play confirms it.

Open the Google Play app, go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions and cancel Pocket Digicam Pro. Pro stays on until the end of the paid period. Refunds are handled by Google Play; you can also email us.

Switch off MENU → Settings → Share anonymous usage stats. The app then sends no usage counts or crash reports.
