Monitoring tools: zebra, histogram, false color and focus peaking
A phone screen is small and often too bright or too dim to judge by eye. CinemaKit adds the monitoring tools of a cinema camera, so exposure and focus decisions rest on measurements instead of guesses.
Full manual control
Set ISO, shutter speed, white balance and focus manually, or leave any of them on auto. A manual value stays where you put it, so exposure and color don't drift in the middle of a take.
Exposure tools
- Zebra stripes mark the areas of the frame that are close to clipping.
- The histogram shows how the tones are distributed across the frame.
- False color paints exposure levels in fixed colors, so you can read them however bright the screen is.
Focus and framing
- Focus peaking outlines the sharpest edges in the frame.
- The level shows whether the horizon is straight.
- Grid overlays and a safe area, chosen in settings, keep the composition and the important action inside the frame.
- The torch adds light for close-ups and dark scenes.
