TAKE CONTROL OF THE SHOT Stay in Auto for quick, spontaneous filming, or switch to manual controls when you want to shape the image more precisely: • Adjust shutter speed and ISO • Control focus and white balance • Choose a lens, tap to focus, and pinch to zoom • Use a grid and center marker to help frame the scene • Record in 1080p or 4K at supported frame rates, including 24, 30, and 60 fps KEEP THE ORIGINAL, TOO Efecto Camera preserves an unfiltered source recording while showing your chosen look in the live preview.
