Encuadre is the companion for anyone who just bought their first real camera (DSLR or mirrorless) and still isn't sure what ISO, aperture, and shutter speed actually do beyond "auto mode." Your phone doesn't take the photo or replace the camera. You point it at the same scene you're about to shoot, pick a technique, and Encuadre explains live how those three settings relate to each other for that light and that subject — so you make the call, not the app. WHAT'S INCLUDED • 7 scene modes (outdoor portrait, landscape/golden hour, panning, action portrait, night portrait, studio/indoor portrait, focus), each calibrated to its own light and motion conditions. • Interactive exposure triangle: drag ISO, aperture, or shutter speed with your finger and feel in real time how the other two compensate to keep the same exposure — and what happens when one of the three hits its limit. • Focal length and lens-type recommendations per mode, with workarounds for anyone still shooting with their kit lens. • Concepts: 19 reference topics — exposure triangle, camera and scene modes, metering, exposure compensation, depth of field, focus, image stabilization, long exposure, white balance, color theory, flash, light modifiers, golden/blue hour, composition, RAW vs. JPEG, histogram, double exposure, and photographic styles — to help you find your own style, not just get a correct exposure. • Bilingual: Spanish and English, detects your phone's language. PRIVACY 100% on-device. Encuadre doesn't collect, store, or send any data or image to any server. The camera is used only for the live preview — no photo is ever taken or saved inside the app. Bokeh is left out on purpose: it depends on accurately estimating subject distance, and not every phone does that equally well.

Record a new video or use a landscape video you already have. With Auto Reframe, choose a person or a supported object (beta) and create a vertical 9:16 version that follows your selection while preserving the original. OBJECT TRACKING IN BETA Objects has a yellow Beta badge. Recognition is limited to supported categories, and tracking can lose the subject or fail in some scenes. Try another frame, switch to People, or use centered framing. A progress bar shows analysis and vertical export progress. IMPORT AND MAKE IT VERTICAL Open the Library and tap Import video to choose a video from Photos or Files, including iCloud Drive. The app shows loading feedback, then opens People or Objects (Beta) selection. Tap inside the box around the person or supported object you want to follow. If needed, scrub through the thumbnail strip to another moment. Tap Create vertical video to create a take with the original and vertical version. RECORD WITH MORE CONTROL Switch between front and rear cameras before recording. Adjust zoom in the viewfinder, including while recording, and use the lens marks available on the active camera. Choose 1080p or 4K and up to 60 FPS, depending on your iPhone, camera, and format. Adjust ISO and exposure compensation, tap to focus, and return to automatic controls whenever you want. Enable native Cinematic mode on supported cameras. Use the 16:9 and 9:16 guides and optional grid. With Auto Reframe on, choose a person or supported object (beta) after recording and create the vertical version, or keep only the original. If no subject is found, create a centered vertical crop. With Auto Reframe off, the app uses a centered vertical crop. YOUR MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING Listen to music from other apps while recording, including with headphones. YOUR TAKES IN THE LIBRARY Local recordings and imported videos are organized as takes inside the app. Find them by thumbnail and time, open the landscape and vertical versions to watch, and save to Photos or share only what you choose. Create folders, drag takes to organize them, or select several to move and delete. Deleting a folder also deletes its takes and videos after confirmation. After your vertical-video choice and processing, the camera is ready for the next recording. The original is preserved while the vertical is prepared. RECORD TO A USB-C SSD Choose a connected SSD in Settings. The app creates an Enquadrado folder at the drive root and a folder for each take, with the landscape video and the vertical version when generated. Files stay on the SSD, and its takes appear in the Library while it is connected and authorized. In Cinematic mode, both the rendered landscape video and editable source are preserved. QUALITY AND COMPATIBILITY Vertical export preserves the original frame timing and adapts resolution to avoid unnecessary upscaling. This does not remove blur already present in the recording. Requires iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Recording requires camera and microphone access. Cinematic, 4K, 60 FPS, lenses, manual controls, and SSD support depend on the device and configuration; the app shows compatible options. Exports run in the foreground, and long videos may take time. Videos are processed on iPhone and are not uploaded to soumessias servers. Access requires a monthly or annual subscription. Apple shows pricing, eligible trials, and renewal terms at purchase. Manage or cancel through your Apple Account, and restore purchases in the app. Terms of Use: https://soumessias.com/enquadrado/terms Privacy Policy: https://soumessias.com/enquadrado/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
