Multi-point live view, focus peaking, dual histogram, variable-step bracketing, industrial strength reliability and swift operation are the cornerstones of this premium Canon EOS tethering app. Photographers practicing slow-paced genres (like architecture, product, portrait, macro, landscape and astrophotography) will benefit from working on a large screen with advanced composition and evaluation tools, extensive exposure automation, precise exposure control and improved focusing accuracy — a must with today's high-megapixel sensors.

Lightframer Pro is the ultimate director's viewfinder: real cinema cameras and lenses, sun tracking, a 3D shadow map, life-size AR stand-ins and storyboards — all in one app, on location. PREVIEW ANY CAMERA + LENS Pick your body and glass from a library of cinema cameras and lenses — ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, Angénieux, Cooke, Zeiss and more, primes, zooms and anamorphics. See exactly how that setup frames the shot, through the phone, before the truck arrives. TRACK THE SUN The sun's path is drawn over your frame and locked to the real horizon, so it stays put while you pan and tilt. Golden hour, blue hour, sunrise and sunset read at a glance, and you can scrub to any time of day to see where the sun will sit in the shot. 3D SHADOW MAP See the shadows before you hit the set. A 3D map of the location shows where buildings and terrain throw shade at any hour, so you know when the street is lit and when it isn't. BLOCK YOUR SCENES WITH AR STAND-INS No actor on location? Tap the ground and a life-size stand-in appears at true scale. Set height and pose, add a second character for two-shots, and frame the dialogue through your chosen lens. Blocking saves with every capture. STORYBOARDS AND PDF EXPORT Turn scout frames into boards. Order shots, add captions and camera-move tags (PUSH IN, PAN L→R, HANDHELD...), play the board back as an instant previz, export a video animatic, or share a numbered PDF with project, director, DP and scene details — ready for the crew before call time. READ THE LIGHT IN KELVIN A live scene meter reads colour temperature on location — tungsten, neon, daylight — and prints white balance on every export. FRAME LINES FOR EVERY RATIO 2.39:1 anamorphic, 1.85:1 theatrical, 17:9 DCI, 16:9 HD, 4:3 open gate, 9:16 vertical, or your own custom ratio, with shading and colour controls. Full UI in portrait and landscape. EXPORT WITH FULL CINEMA DATA Every capture carries a metadata strip: camera, lens, focal length, aspect ratio, sun position, compass heading and white balance. Share scout photos the whole crew can read.
