AN AI PHOTOGRAPHER THAT TELLS YOU THE POSE Not sure how to stand, how far to step back, or whether to crop at the knee or the ankle? Mola Camera's AI photographer does all three: it teaches the pose, measures the distance, and frames a full-body, nine-tenths, or seven-tenths shot. ■ IT TEACHES THE POSE Tap the smiley and pick a pose. The screen shows what to do, and a voice says it with you: where your hands go, how your shoulders drop, where your eyes look. You follow it. You don't have to invent the pose. ■ IT MEASURES THE DISTANCE It reads the person in the frame and estimates how many meters they are from the lens. Too close or too far, it says so. When you reach the distance that pose needs, it tells you to hold. ■ FULL BODY, NINE-TENTHS, SEVEN-TENTHS Full body keeps the feet in frame. Nine-tenths crops at the lower calf, above the ankle. Seven-tenths crops above the knee. Once you pick a proportion, the framing follows that crop and does not put the missing shin back in. ■ FRAMING, TOO A white dot and a target circle appear on screen. Move the phone until they meet, and the framing is set. A gold frame locks onto the subject and zooms as needed. Portraits and landscapes are judged differently. Prefer your own subject? Tap to choose it. It also works while recording. ■ THE PALETTE SETS THE COLOR Seventeen palettes. Drag sideways for the tone, up and down for strength, and the viewfinder follows live. Shoot when it looks right. What you saw is what is saved. Standard, Pearl, Gold, Rose Gold, Amber, Cool Rose Gold, plus Cream Film, Japanese Airy, Teal Orange, Forest Green, Fuji Blue, Kodak Warm, Korean Pink, Cool White, China Red, Blossom Haze, and Natural Prime. Each palette remembers the strength you last used. Photos in the album can be graded again. ■ 150 REAL LUTS Cinematic, Film, Fresh, Portrait, Street, Retro, Forest, Golden, Landscape, Night, Food, Cool, and Vivid. Built on real LUTs. Long-press to save a favorite. Or let AI pick one for the light in front of you and tell you why. ■ ALSO INCLUDED A glass bar with your device, the time, aperture, shutter, ISO, and focal length. Frames: MOLA Brand, Journal Polaroid, Retro Film, Magazine Cover, Cinema Subtitle. Hold the shutter for light trails or silky water. Video at 720p / 1080p / 4K up to 60fps. Live Photos. 12/24/48MP. 3:4, 1:1, and 9:16. Low-light boost. Rule-of-thirds grid, level, timer, and date stamp. FREE AND PRO Everyone gets 6 free AI shots a day. After that, each shot uses credits.
