## What is SmoovieCam?

### 2/5 — no control over camera settings, even zoom

*2016-03-15, version 1.0*

This would be a great app if you could do anything more than focus the camera. Third-party webcams are not great for Macs, so it would be terrific to use the iPhone 6s’s good camera to shoot Smoovie frames. But in SmoovieCam, the camera is stuck on its widest zoom, and there’s no control over zoom, ISO, white balance, or anything else that can help create a quality image and therefore better movie in Smoovie. Hope this functionality gets added — otherwise it’s too limited to be useful.
