These terms refer to the process in which the Analog takes a photo on the included 35mm film. All other disposable cameras on the market, and most reusable film cameras, shoot a full frame of 35mm film. This results in a landscape orientation photo, one that is wider than it is tall. Our proprietary half-frame camera only uses half of a 35mm frame which results in a portrait orientation photo, one that is taller than it is wide.

We use high quality, Kodak ISO 400 film. This film does well in all conditions but it is recommended to use flash anytime you're indoors or at night to avoid underexposed photos. The film within this camera has 17 exposures but because of our "half-frame" technology, we're able to get 34 pictures from it.

Yes, development from a professional film lab is included with your purchase of an Analog camera. We know developing disposable cameras can be a pain, that is why we made the process so easy! Just drop your Analog disposable camera in the included mailer and sit back and relax. Your developed pictures will arrive directly to your phone via the email you used to register your camera.

Your disposable camera pictures will be developed and returned to you no later than 2 business days after we receive them at the film lab (usually it will be the same day). Because of recent stress on the mail system, we have noticed return shipments taking longer than usual. On average, it has taken anywhere from 2-8 days to receive a customer's returned package. Note that this is only an average and some packages may take even longer. If you have shipped your Analog camera back to us with the included mailer for mail-in development, don't worry we fully expect to receive your package; even if it might be taking a little longer than usual. In normal conditions, return shipping will take anywhere from 3-6 business days.

In addition to processing your film, we include digital scans of every exposure. You still get authentic disposable camera shots, but in a format perfect for easy sharing with friends and family on social media accounts (like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Tumblr and Pinterest) as well as messages (like text, WhatsApp and email). When launching the company, we surveyed many film photographers, and the overwhelming majority of the artists valued quality digital scans of their work. We love shooting film and staying in the moment, but realize that it was about time for a few very necessary improvements to help streamline developing (and make it cheaper).

All components of the camera are recycled to the best of our ability after processing. Let us be the first to say it: We do not like the term "disposable camera." It does not accurately reflect what happens to the camera after it is sent in to the film lab. We don't simply throw these "single-use" plastics away. That does not mean we are not always trying to make it more sustainable and improve what we currently have. The vision for the future of Analog includes a redesigned product that is much more sustainable and easily recyclable or even reusable. We think shooting simplified film photography is a way of life, one that goes hand in hand with protecting the environment. We want to thank you for your support of our small business so we can turn the “disposable” camera of the past, into the “sustainable” camera of tomorrow.
