One of the best things about the Cappy Camera is that you don't need to be a Photoshop pro to get amazing, artistic photos. The "editing" is built right into the camera.

Whether you want a classic black-and-white portrait or a moody blue cinematic shot, you can change the entire vibe of your photo with the flick of a switch.

Here is a guide to the 4 built-in filter modes on your Cappy Camera and when to use them.


How to Switch Filters

You don't need an app or a computer to change filters. On the back of your Cappy Camera, there is a dedicated 4-position toggle switch. Simply slide the switch to the corresponding number (1, 2, 3, or 4) to instantly change the color science of your next photo.


Mode 1: Vintage (Standard Color)

The Vibe: Nostalgic, Warm, Golden.

When to use it: This is your "Daily Driver." It’s the default setting that mimics the look of standard 35mm color film. It enhances skin tones, adds a bit of warmth, and is perfect for sunny days, beach trips, or brunch with friends. If you want that classic "disposable camera" look, keep the switch here.

Mode 2: Black & White

The Vibe: Timeless, Classy, High-Contrast.

When to use it: Weddings, street photography, or when the lighting is tricky. Black and white instantly makes any photo look more artistic. It’s also a great "cheat code" for low-light situations because it hides the color noise and focuses on the composition.

Mode 3: Low Tone (Sepia / Faded)

The Vibe: Moody, Muted, Soft.

When to use it: This filter lowers the saturation to give a softer, more "faded" look, similar to an old photograph found in a shoebox. Use this for portraits where you want a dreamy, emotional feel, or on overcast days to embrace the moodiness.

Mode 4: Deep Blue

The Vibe: Cool, Cinematic, Twilight.

When to use it: This is our boldest filter. It cools down the temperature of the photo, giving everything a blue/cyan tint. It looks incredible for city night shots (neon lights look amazing here), winter landscapes, or creating a "sci-fi" aesthetic.


Pro Tip: Mix and Match

Remember, these filters apply to video too! Try flipping the switch to "Deep Blue" (Mode 4) and recording a video walking through the city at night for a music-video vibe.

The best way to learn is to experiment. Take the same photo in all four modes and see which one speaks to you.
