## What is FrameScout?

FrameScout shows you the exact field of view of a camera and lens, live on your iPhone, so you can scout a shot without hauling along your camera kit.

Choose a camera and a lens, and a red frame appears over the live picture showing what that combination will capture. Move the focal length on a zoom and the frame follows. Walk the location, find the position, and know which lens you need before you get there.

BUILT FOR
- Location scouting and interview locations
- Landscape, concert, wedding and event photographers
- Storyboards and pre-visualization
- Checking lens choices before you rent or buy

WHAT YOU GET
- A large built-in database: 121 camera bodies and 477 lenses from cinema and hybrid makers, including Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, ARRI, RED, Blackmagic, Sigma, Zeiss, Cooke and Laowa
- Recording modes and crops for each camera
- Anamorphic squeeze, so the frame shows the right shape and angle
- Add your own cameras and lenses
- A focal length slider for zoom lenses, and quick arrows to step through your favourite lenses
- Matte and grid guides drawn over the live view
- Save stills with an information strip showing the camera, lens, focal length, field of view, white balance and your note, also written into the photo's metadata

PRIVATE
FrameScout has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Everything stays on your phone, and it works without an internet connection.

FrameScout shows a geometric preview for an ideal, distortion-free lens. Real lenses add distortion and focus breathing, and a very wide view can fall outside what the iPhone's cameras can show.

### 1.1 — 2026-11-07

Improved field-of-view accuracy, especially for zoom and telephoto lenses and the ultra-wide range, so the red frame matches the real camera view more closely.
