The iOS app unlocks camera features

The Polaroid Originals app on your iPhone adds six creative tools to the Polaroid OneStep+ Camera: A double exposure tool, light painting, noise trigger, remote, self-timer, and manual mode. Additionally, a scanner feature within the app lets you make a digital copy of your Polaroid pictures for easy saving and sharing.

Both a magazine and an owner's manual

The app also is a sort of slick owner's manual that happens to look like an artsy magazine and it's loaded with artistic inspiration. Peruse photos, read articles, pick up how-to tips, and watch video tutorials. Unlike digital photos, film photos cost money to shoot. Every press of the shutter counts. Make the most of each photo you take by taking advantage of the free app's tools and tips.
