Inspired by the classical film cameras from the 70s and 80s, Argentum’s interface is simple, but functional, a balance between the modern sleekness and the classical forms.
It is the first camera interface made with the now ubiquitous larger iPhones in mind. In the landscape mode the interface adapts to the shift in the handling moving the shutter button to the end of the panel placing it right under the photographer's thumb.

Argentum's look is minimal, yet extremely functional with a lot of small details that do not jump at you at the first glance but contribute to a smooth experience with the camera.
The shutter button changes its brightness depending on the lighting conditions around you making it visible in any kind of light.
The EV compensation scale reminiscent of the classical cameras look makes it easier to select the exact value for your shot.
Argentum is rich in functionality that encourages photographers to fully concentrate on the creative process. Two additional shooting modes form a versatile experience matching photographer’s current mood and end goal.
Take a photo in a matter of a split second.
Speed shooting mode is fully automatic and turns the whole screen into a shutter button.
Get more creative with a subject.
Double exposure mode lets you superimpose two different images in a single photo with real-time preview.

Argentum creates black-and-white photos through one of six filters. Each inspired by the classics of black-and-white photography: Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Irving Penn, Garry Winogrand, Yousuf Karsh and Dorothea Lange.
A connection of each black-and-white look to the style of an iconic photographer helps set the right mood and inspire Argentum photographers to focus on the subject they’re shooting.
Instant preview freezes the photo just taken for a split second on the screen letting you glance over it right after pressing the shutter button. A second or even less is enough to validate the light and focus is on point in the shot just made.
Argentum supports shooting in 4:3, 1:1, 6:7, cinematic 16:9 or classical 3:2. The real-time preview fades out the cropped part of the shot keeping it just visible enough for more control over composition.
Choose between JPEG, HEIC or TIFF format to store processed and original photos. If you need even more flexibility in post-processing Argentum has your back allowing you to keep additional original images in RAW.

Argentum image processing and saving algorithms are optimized to the point where making a photo on the latest iPhones takes about 0.2 seconds. So when you press a shutter button to take one photo the camera instantly becomes ready to take the next one.
Argentum makes sure that if the photo capturing process has reached the saving to the file system stage the photo won’t get lost even if the process is interrupted, the iPhone is switched off for example. When Argentum is restarted it will recover the image and finalize the process.
Argentum is the only black and white camera app that supports Live Photos with real-time processing that works as smoothly as with still photos.
