I’m OBSESSED with this hidden iPhone camera trick that makes all your photos look like they were shot on Kodak Gold film

While exploring hidden iPhone camera tricks, I learned that your toddler might be your best source for discovering new techniques. During a family outing, when my daughter briefly used my iPhone 17 Pro camera, she accidentally stumbled upon an ethereal photo style that transformed my images. Upon examining the settings, I found that there was a hidden "Amber" Photographic Style, previously unknown to me.

This Style gives photos a warm, golden glow that beautifully complements the soft light of golden hour. I discovered that there are other Styles available as well, such as Gold, Rose Gold, Bright, Neutral, and Cool Rose. These Styles seem to resemble film stock more than the vibrant options found when using the default "Standard" mode.

I am now captivated by this newfound ability to capture images with a vivid, warm, and colorful appearance, reminiscent of classic film such as Kodachrome or Kodak Gold. This hidden camera trick has undoubtedly brought more vibrancy and joy to my photography, making each shot feel like a burst of dopamine.
