App Description This app comes with three sample camera formats pre-installed, allowing you to try all of the features. If you are satisfied with the functionality, you can purchase “All Camera Formats” via in-app purchase. “All Camera Formats” includes about 1,000 presets as well as unlimited custom formats that you can create yourself. Details of the preset camera formats are listed on the in-app purchase screen, so please check there. The app works on both iPhone and iPad. However, the iPad version is for previewing data captured on iPhone and does not support shooting with the iPad’s camera. What this app does This application is designed to support lens selection during shooting, location scouting, and meetings. It helps you determine the focal length of the lens you need. The app features three main modes: • Live View Mode • Capture View Mode • Distance Conversion Mode Each mode also offers two drive options: • Zoom Lens Drive Mode • Prime Lens Drive Mode Mode Details Live View Mode View the live feed from the built-in camera and use the on-screen slider (in Zoom Lens Mode) or buttons (in Prime Lens Mode) to zoom, which allows you to calculate the focal length you need. This works much like an analog angle finder. Capture View Mode Take a snapshot in Live View Mode and then adjust it. Since Capture View Mode displays the full-resolution image, it offers far higher clarity than Live View Mode, and because the image is fixed, there is no blur — making it suitable for checking angles even in the telephoto range. Distance Conversion Mode This mode does not use the camera image. Instead, you input the distance to the subject, and the required focal length is calculated. To make it visually intuitive, a CG figure scales accordingly. This is particularly useful during discussions or planning. Other Features • Save captured images to review framing later. • Record and save orientation and location information. • Supports both metric (meters) and imperial (feet) units. • Includes an editable lens list that you can freely add to, delete, or rearrange for reference. Subscription Details • “All Camera Formats” is available as an annual subscription, which automatically renews each year unless canceled. • Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at the time of purchase confirmation. • Subscriptions can be restored on all iOS devices using the restore function in the settings page. • Unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, the subscription will automatically renew. • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, and the cost of renewal will be specified. • Subscriptions can be managed by the user, and auto-renewal can be turned off in the account settings after purchase. • Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription. ○Privacy Policy http://anitya.link/privacy-policy_en.html ○Licence Agreement http://anitya.link/license-agreement_en.html ○Developer Website http://anitya.link/lensagent_en.html

FrameUp is the essential director’s viewfinder for professional filmmakers. It combines an uncompromised viewfinder with highly customizable and intuitive controls to help you visualize and create your best shots. Using your phone, you can simulate any combination of lenses and sensors, while aspect ratio overlays allow you to monitor exactly what will appear in the final image. When you find the frame you like, just double-tap to save an image with metadata burned in to share with collaborators. Features: Full-Screen Viewfinder by Default – FrameUp focuses on the viewfinder. As soon as you launch the app, you are greeted with a large viewfinder without distractions. This lets you immediately start lining up your shots. Stills Capture – Double tap on the viewfinder or use iPhone 16’s Camera Control to capture a still of your frame. These stills include information about the lens, sensor, and aspect ratio used; ideal for sharing location scout previsualizations with your team. Stills Library – FrameUp Pro's built-in stills library allows you to quickly reference your frames on set. Location information, heading, and configuration information are saved for easy access. (FrameUp's base version saves stills to your phone camera roll.) Large Library of Included Cameras – FrameUp is updated regularly with camera support. It’s easy to file a request for your specific camera. Sensor Formats – Specify which mode your sensor is in. For example, Super 35, Anamorphic, DCI 4k, etc... Support for more cameras is prioritized by popular request. Fully Featured Base Version – The base version of FrameUp has all the features needed to craft shots; a great option for students and budget filmmakers. The optional pro upgrade brings more customizable features, professional workflows, and removes the minimal FrameUp branding on the viewfinder. Navigable With Muscle Memory – Use swipes and gestures to control FrameUp without having to search for buttons. Intuitive Quick Settings – One tap brings up a customizable quick settings screen, which allows you to configure FrameUp without leaving the viewfinder. Optical Adapters – Accurately simulate teleconverters and speed boosters within FrameUp. LUTs Support – Import and monitor show LUTs right in your viewfinder. .cube LUTs are supported in REC.709 and ACES CCT colorspaces, allowing you to use the LUTs you already have. Overlays – Use and customize professional overlays to help you frame your image. Includes support for the golden ratio, a secondary aspect ratio, customizable grids, and more. You can optionally export your images with overlays burned in. Designed for Performance – FrameUp’s image pipeline is optimized for Metal and your iPhone’s GPU, resulting in a smooth and responsive experience. Broad Lens Set and Camera Support – Choose from a large library of sensors and lens sets to quickly configure FrameUp to match your setup. Refined for Professional Workflows – FrameUp has been designed for use on fast-moving film sets. You can lock in your sensors, focal lengths, and aspect ratios for your project ahead of time to reduce cognitive load during production. Lock Screen Launch – Access FrameUp quickly straight from an iOS 18 Lock Screen control. Camera Control – Use the iPhone 16 series Camera Control to easily change essential viewfinder settings and capture stills. Privacy and security are core to FrameUp; personal information is not collected, and there are no ads. Promotional stills from the music video Two Kinds of Sadness by Box of Matches
