FrameCoach is an AI cinematography coach that connects to your Sony camera and turns your creative intent into expert-level settings recommendations. You describe what you want — "keep the sky dramatic but don't lose the kids in shadow" — and FrameCoach analyses your live camera feed, reads your current settings, and tells you exactly what to change first. HOW IT WORKS 1. Connect your Sony camera over WiFi 2. Describe your creative vision in plain language 3. FrameCoach captures and analyzes your frame 4. Get up to 3 prioritized recommendations 5. Apply settings and shoot with confidence CAMERA-AWARE INTELLIGENCE FrameCoach knows your specific camera model — its noise floor, dynamic range, and sensor limits. Recommendations stay within what your camera can actually do. No generic advice. No impossible settings. Supports 40+ cameras across Sony and Canon — A7 series, A6000 series, EOS R series — with more models and brands being added regularly. POWERFUL ANALYSIS ENGINE Every recommendation is backed by real cinematography science — histogram evaluation, highlight and shadow clipping detection, skin tone analysis, and zone-based exposure assessment. AI reasoning works on top of this analysis to coach you like a professional DP. LEARN THE WHY, NOT JUST THE WHAT Every setting change comes with a clear explanation of the reasoning behind it. FrameCoach doesn't just tell you to drop your ISO — it tells you why, so you build real cinematography intuition over time. COMPOSITION COACHING Get feedback on framing, headroom, subject placement, and visual balance — not just exposure settings. BUILT FOR FILMMAKERS - Conversational interface — describe your look in your own words - Live camera preview with real-time settings readout - Up to 3 prioritized actions ranked by impact - One-tap auto-apply settings to your camera - Multi-turn conversations that build on your creative intent - Works with your camera's WiFi — no extra hardware needed WHO IT'S FOR FrameCoach is built for indie filmmakers, videographers, and content creators who want to make better-looking work without needing years of technical experience. Whether you're shooting your first short film or your fiftieth corporate interview, FrameCoach helps you nail the look you're going for. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.6.0 — 2026-06-24 A new wave of Sony cameras now connect directly. Scan the camera's Wi-Fi QR code and you're in — live view, ranked coaching, and one tap to send a recommended setting straight back to the camera. These newer bodies used to return "Not a WiFi QR code" and make you type the network by hand. Now supported: α6700, α7 IV, α7R V, α7S III, α1, α1 II, α9 III, α7C II, α7CR, FX3, FX30, and ZV-E1. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-05-25 Clearer help when your Sony camera won't connect. Newer A7 IV-and-up bodies now get a specific tip when "Access Authentication" needs turning off — the menu path is right there, no Googling. Older bodies still get the Smart Remote Embedded reminder they had before. One-tap Access Authentication reminder the first time you add an A7 IV-or-newer. Right after you save the camera, we show a single tip with the exact menu path to flip off — Menu, Network, Network Option, Access Authen. Settings. Tap "Got it", and we never show it again. (Reset all coaching tips from Settings if you want it back.) "Camera added" stays on screen while we're connecting. When you've just added a camera, a small green line confirms the camera is saved — and stays visible the whole time we're working on the first connection. Even if the connection takes a moment or fails, you know the camera itself is in. Faster fail when a camera isn't there. If you tap a camera that's off, out of range, or has the wrong password, you'll see the failure screen within about 15 seconds — instead of waiting through a long retry loop. Tap the camera in the sidebar to try again once it's awake. The connection status now updates as time passes. If a connection is taking longer than usual, the message changes from "Connecting to your camera…" to "Still looking — this can take up to a minute on newer Sony bodies" and then "Almost there — make sure the camera is nearby and powered on" — so you can tell we're still working on it, not stuck. A new "Report an issue" button on the connection screen. One tap opens your mail app pre-filled with the details we need to help — camera, app version, and what step failed. We get the diagnostics; you get a real reply. 3:2 framing now matches what you record. The 3:2 aspect ratio guide showed a wide letterbox window, even though your saved video came out tall. Fixed — the framing preview and the recorded file now agree. Reliable audio on quick iPhone clips. Short tap-and-release recordings sometimes lost the first beat of audio, or all of it, on very short clips. Audio now stays in sync from the moment you start recording. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-04-30 Composition coaching, improved. - Ask about framing, headroom, rule-of-thirds, and leading lines — you'll get composition feedback instead of an exposure suggestion. Skin-tone exposure also got smarter: "expose for the faces" and "make darker skin tones clearly visible" now correctly recover underexposed portraits. Older Sony bodies: clearer error messages. - A7 II / A7R II / A7S II / A7C, A6000–A6500, A3000–A5100, NEX, RX100 III–VII, and RX10 II now get a reminder to launch Smart Remote Embedded from the camera's Application List when a connection fails. Connection problems also surface much faster — no more long silent retry loops. New Sony setup help. - Added a tutorial video for pairing your Sony camera, plus the add-camera screen now shows the menu path inline (Menu → Network → Ctrl w/ Smartphone → Connection). Faster, friendlier QR scanner. - Rebuilt scanner reads codes more reliably with a visible tap-to-focus ring. Stability. - Several crashes and hangs were fixed around camera startup, lens switching, and the chat keyboard. ### 1.2.6 — 2026-04-21 NEW: Coach your iPhone Camera Coach Get the same intent-driven coaching on your phone. Frame a shot, tell FrameCoach what you're going for, and tap Apply to dial in ISO, shutter, focus, and white balance. No DSLR required. Also in this release: • Fixed mobile camera preview going black after switching apps • Fixed input bar getting stuck behind the keyboard • Smarter low-light recommendations ### 1.1.0 — 2026-03-30 Open beta — bug fixes and improved camera connectivity.
