ISO & SHUTTER 

(EXPOSURE MODES)

Select a preferred exposure mode:

  • Auto A - the camera sets the exposure fully automatic. Allows to set Exposure Compensation manually. 
  • Semi-auto SI - Shutter or ISO priority mode. You manually set one parameter and the camera automatically adjusts the other parameter to get a balanced exposure. For example, you adjust Shutter Speed and the app automatically adjusts ISO, and vice versa.
  • Manual M - allows to manually adjust ISO and Shutter Speed values independently.

All exposure modes support automatic Focus, Exposure, ISO, Exposure Time and White Balance adjustments.

123214.svg GRIDS Enables/disables grid views on the viewfinder to assist with composition. Several types of grids are available.
1_men_icon_tiltmeter.svg TILTMETER Enables/disables the 3D Tiltmeter on the viewfinder, which displays the camera's tilt level. Tiltmeter shows you when the phone is completely vertical or completely horizontal. It allows you to get perfectly straight photos.
COLOR FORMAT Choose the Color Format option. This section allows you to select the dynamic range for filming: SDR for standard color, HDR for extended dynamic range, and LOG/LOG2 for the highest quality and professional workflows.
Tiltmeter.svg RESOLUTION Choose the resolution option that best fits your needs from the available options. The resolution is the number of pixels in each frame.
FRAME RATE Choose the frame rate option that is supported by your device and appropriate for your video recording needs. The frame rate is the number of photos (frames) recorded per second to create the final video.
CODEC Choose the preferred type of the video codec: H.264 for compatibility, HEVC for efficiency, or ProRes for professional editing.
1Vector.svg BLUETOOTH Use this button to connect the external Bluetooth microphone to use it as input audio source. 
AUDIO MODE Choose how sound is captured with your video: 'No Audio' to mute the input signal, 'Mono' for mono recording, and 'Stereo' for stereo recording. Newer devices also offer a 'Spatial' option for immersive audio.
STABILIZATION Enables/disables image stabilization while filming. Stabilization reduces unwanted camera shake while recording video, resulting in smoother, more stable footage that is generally more pleasing to watch.
Group 6247.svg OSD MODE Choose between three levels of On-Screen Display and Controls. You can choose to hide non-critical on-screen elements for a more streamlined interface – or display all elements to have complete control.
