What's New in Exposure Check

4

July 15, 2026

The biggest update to Exposure Check yet. Recalibrated exposure engine • Zone and False Color overlays now follow the exact Apple Log curve — every zone lines up with true scene stops. • Tap anywhere for a zone readout and a recommended f-stop. • Simulated IRIS: preview any aperture and get a recommendation to place your subject at 18% gray. • New ISO steps (250 / 500) for finer exposure control. A smoother, cleaner app • Overlays renamed to simply "Zone" and "False Color," with clearer readouts. • Project photos now open full screen on iPad and swipe smoothly between images — just like the Photo tab. • Faster thumbnails and browsing throughout. • New What's New screen and About section with quick access to support. Reminder: true Zone readings require a LOG image from a camera. iPhones Pro models with Apple log are capable of this. On graded or imported images, overlays are for reference only based on the final grade.

An essential tool for DPs and Gaffers

Working gaffer here. I use this in pre-pro with the DP when we're going through reference stills — EL Zone makes it really easy to point at a shadow or a highlight and get aligned on what we're actually chasing. Saves a lot of back-and-forth on the day.
Can't wait for EL Zone running on a live Apple Log signal in the camera mode — that's going to be a game changer for on-set work. For now it's already earned a spot in my prep workflow.

No need for plug ins

Saw this on threads and so happy i did. Every time i wanted to look at false color for a movie i had to use a plug in i got from davinci which is cool but then you can’t easily save or reference it later. Love that i can organize it all in app and move the saves around. Will be using a bunch on my next film.

Great tool on set!

Been beta testing this for a while now and have used it across a handful of different sets. Really changed how I communicate with my crew on set — I can pull up a false color reference and have an actual conversation about where I want the exposure to land so we’re all on the same page compared to our reference image exposures.
