About

STB Camera

Features
Read full description

STB Camera is the free on-set companion to STB (Storyboard to Shoot). Take the director's board to the location and shoot a framing for every cut. ■ Frame by equivalent focal length Pick full-frame or S35, dial 10-600mm, and the viewfinder shows exactly that lens. Every iPhone adapts to its own lens set, and the physical switch-over points are marked right on the dial. ■ What you see is what you get Orientation is locked to the board's aspect, so a deliberate dutch angle is never auto-levelled. Tap to focus and meter, lock white balance, and apply B&W or high-contrast looks live in the viewfinder. ■ Compare on the spot A/B side by side, or blend the board over the photo. ■ Bring it back to STB Export the package and every photo matches its cut automatically. Scout shots can also go to Photos in three info styles, stamped with focal length, colour temperature and time. ■ No board? No problem Build one on set and it becomes a new film back in STB. Interface in Traditional Chinese, English and Japanese, switchable inside the app.
