The show starts with a gimmick about tracking down a missing camera, then completely abandons it to just hang out with these four girls, and somehow that's exactly what you wanted anyway. The comedy lands because Haruno exists, a character so specific in her awkwardness that every scene she's in becomes funnier just by watching the others react to her. What hits is the quietness of it all, no plot ambitions, no stakes, just genuine friendship and the kind of cinematography that makes you want to take photos yourself, even if you've never touched a camera in your life.
Satsuki Amamiya is feeling low after Makinohara, the Photography Club president she admired and photographed daily, graduates and leaves the club in her hands. With her best friend An Kiriyama urging her on, Satsuki commits to a fresh start, buying a 360-degree camera at an online auction. Short on members, the Photography Club merges with the Cinema Club, whose president Sakurako Shikishima joins them in the new Cinephoto Club. Manga artist Haruno Akiyama then asks the three girls to star in her latest work, which centers on action cameras. They search for a missing camera, try out gadgets beyond ordinary photo and film gear, travel to scenic spots across Japan and sample local food along the way. The tone is light slice-of-life comedy.
