A pure sensor camera.No AI.

DGCam records the unprocessed RAW read and lets a film-simulation LUT do the looking — no upscaling, no scene detection, no invented detail.

What you frame is what you keep.

Plates

Straight exports from the camera roll. No frame here has been retouched, sharpened, or upscaled — only exposed and printed through a LUT.

The negative & the print

Same frame.Only the look changes.

On the left, the flat sensor read as the RAW/DNG holds it. On the right, the same pixels rendered through a film-simulation 3D LUT on the device. Nothing is filled in or invented. Drag the bar to move between them.

Everything the sensor does.Nothing it doesn’t.

A short colophon on how the camera actually works.

RAW / DNG capture: Noise reduction, edge enhancement and aberration correction are switched off at the HAL. You keep the sensor read, not a cleaned-up guess.
True 3D LUTs: Film simulations run as real .cube tables. The preview shader and the CPU export use the same one, so what you frame is what you export.
Your own looks: Import any .cube file. Grids over 49³ resample to 33³ on load, so a full shelf of looks stays light. Long-press to pin or remove.
Film effects: Grain, halation, Color Chrome / Chrome Blue, DR highlight recovery, highlight and shadow tone, chroma denoise — optical, never invented.
Video, same pipeline: Clips record through the identical LUT pipeline, so footage matches your stills frame for frame.
Full manual: Manual ISO and shutter, exposure compensation, tap-to-focus, timer and flash. AWB stays on — in a DNG it is only metadata anyway.
