36 frames. No previews. Until now.
Shoot film. See it now.
DFILM sits on the hot shoe of any film camera. It frames what you frame, keeps a live view running, and the instant your shutter fires it saves the digital twin of that exact shot.
Always-on live view
The rear screen runs edge to edge and never sleeps: your composition plus exposure, EV, focal length and remaining frames as a data layer.
One shutter press
The hot-shoe signal fires DFILM too. Your negative and the digital frame are captured in the same instant — same moment, two memories.
16–80 mm, selectable
Match the crop to the lens you actually mounted: 16, 24, 28, 35, 50 or 80 mm. Point-and-shoots and interchangeable-lens bodies alike.
DFILM Pro app
Your roll, before the lab.
Pro pairs over Bluetooth and streams over Wi-Fi. Watch the live view on your phone, browse the digital roll, read the exposure data of every frame and drive the module remotely.

FAQ
Everything you asked us.
The questions we get most about DFILM. If yours isn't here, ask it below — it goes straight to our inbox.
Any film camera with a standard ISO hot shoe — SLRs with interchangeable lenses, rangefinders and compact point-and-shoots. The module simply slides in and locks with its clamping ring.
No. DFILM has its own internal battery, so live view keeps running even when the camera is off. USB-C charging, with a status LED on the side.
It reads the flash trigger pulse from the hot shoe. The instant your shutter fires, DFILM saves the digital twin of that frame to internal memory or the microSD card.
You select the focal length in the menu — 16, 24, 28, 35, 50 or 80 mm — and the digital crop matches the lens you actually mounted. Available on both Lite and Pro.
Lite is polycarbonate, 30 MP, fixed-power flash and a non-touch screen. Pro is anodised aluminium, 50 MP, stabilised sensor, dimmable flash, touch screen, extended battery, pre-capture buffer, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the iOS/Android app.
Yes — DFILM never touches your negative. It gives you an immediate digital reference of every frame while the film stays exactly as you shot it.
DFILM Lite launches on Kickstarter in September at €150. DFILM Pro pre-orders open on this site in December at €300.
Internal memory plus a microSD slot. Transfer over USB-C, or — on Pro — browse and export the digital roll wirelessly from the phone app.
