このカメラとレンズで、どこまで写る? FocalFrameは、撮影前の画角計算と、ロケハンでの構図確認をつなぐアプリです。 【機材を選び、画角を計算】 カメラとレンズをプリセットから選び、焦点距離を設定。レンズ表記の実焦点距離、35mm換算、水平・垂直・対角画角を確認できます。画角換算とプリセットは無料で利用できます。 【iPhone・iPadで、構図を先に確認】 カメラ機能では、選択した機材と焦点距離の画角に合わせて端末カメラを調整します。16:9、1.85:1、2:1、2.39:1、4:3、1:1などからアスペクト比を選び、縦横の構図を確認できます。 【ロケハンの写真に、機材の設定を残す】 確認中の構図を撮影し、カメラロールまたはアプリ内へ保存。カメラ名、レンズ名、焦点距離、換算値、アスペクト比、撮影日時を画像下部へ表示できます。保存写真の一覧、拡大、共有にも対応しています。 【400台以上のカメラ、800本以上のレンズ】 写真機、シネマカメラ、放送・ENG機、固定レンズ機、シネレンズ、放送用レンズまで収録。メーカー、マウント、キーワード、お気に入りで絞り込めます。 【焦点距離と画角を、分けて扱う】 35mmフルサイズ、APS-C、MFT、中判、シネマ、放送用センサーなどに対応。クロップ、テレコン、ワイコン、内蔵エクステンダーなどを、光学焦点距離と実効画角を混同しない形で計算します。 料金と対応機能 ・アプリ本体、プリセット、画角換算、使い方、設定は無料です。 ・iPhone・iPadのライブ構図確認と写真撮影を含むカメラ機能は、同じApple Accountにつき1回、14日間無料で体験できます。 ・体験終了後の自動課金はありません。継続する場合のみ、2,000円の買い切りApp内課金で利用できます。月額料金はありません。 ・Mac版はプリセットと画角換算を無料で利用できます。ライブカメラと写真撮影機能は搭載していません。 ※換算値は登録されたセンサー寸法と焦点距離を基準にした比較値です。撮影モード、動画クロップ、手ぶれ補正、ファームウェアなどにより、実際の画角が異なる場合があります。最終判断にはメーカー公式仕様と実写をご確認ください。

About

CineLoupe

Read full description

CineLoupe is a cinematographer's viewfinder that reproduces cinema camera sensor modes and lenses on your iPhone — including the bokeh. BOKEH YOU CAN SEE Using the iPhone's LiDAR (or stereo) depth, CineLoupe computes depth of field from the chosen focal length, T-stop and focus distance and blurs the live image accordingly. Tap to focus. Anamorphic lenses render with the correct squeeze and oval bokeh. SENSOR MODES, NOT JUST CAMERAS Crop by the actual imaging area of each recording mode — ALEXA 35 4.6K 3:2 Open Gate vs 4K 16:9, VENICE 2 8.6K 3:2 vs 5.8K 6:5 anamorphic — for ARRI, SONY, RED, Canon, Blackmagic, Nikon, DJI, FUJIFILM and more. A LENS LIBRARY THAT MATCHES THE RENTAL FLOOR 165 series and 1,400+ lenses: ARRI Signature / Master / Ultra Prime, ZEISS Supreme, Cooke S4/S7/S8, Leitz, Angenieux Optimo, FUJINON Premista, Canon Sumire, SIGMA, DZOFILM, LAOWA, Tokina Vista and many more. Browse prime / zoom → mount → series → focal length, or type any focal length and T-stop manually. FRAME LINES, AS MANY AS YOU NEED Overlay 16:9, 2.39, 9:16 or any ratio and percentage on the open gate at once, with optional outside shading and burn-in. TAKES THAT BECOME THE SCOUT REPORT Stills (HEIC) and video (HEVC / H.264 / ProRes, 1080p / UHD, Apple Log) with camera, mode, lens, focal length, T-stop, focus distance, time, GPS, heading and scene/take burnt in. Mark OK takes and export a PDF with maps, shooting order, sun position and a location checklist. Optional auto-upload to your own Google Drive or Dropbox. RE-SIMULATE LATER Stills keep the raw frame and depth map, so you can revisit a take with a different camera, lens, T-stop or focus and save it as a new take. SUN POSITION Sun azimuth and elevation overlaid on the finder, scrubbable through the day, with sunrise, sunset and golden hour. Requires iPhone 12 or later. LiDAR (Pro models) gives the best depth; the ultra-wide camera extends the wide end. Simulations are optical approximations and do not reproduce distortion, vignetting, cat's-eye bokeh, breathing or color of real lenses.
