CINE WHITE BALANCE

A color meter that speaks your camera's menu, and a director's viewfinder that shows the shot before the camera arrives. Point the phone at the light. It reads a color temperature and a tint, then translates that one measurement into what your body actually asks for — in its own wording, in its own step size. An ALEXA wants a tint value. A VENICE wants something else. A LUMIX calls it something else again. You get the number to dial, not a conversion to do in your head. DIRECTOR'S VIEWFINDER Pick a body, its shooting mode and a lens set, and the live picture shows what that combination would see. The frame is the sensor's native shape and it holds still — changing lenses moves the picture behind it, because the phone ramps its own zoom so a 24 pulls out and a 135 pushes in, the way swapping glass would. • 81 bodies, 124 imaging modes, 103 lens series — ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon,…
