User reviews
Missing one of the most crucial function on a lot of cameras including the A7IV, Gamma assist or ability to use look luts which kind of render this app useless compared to other aps and monitors
Looking good so far. I like how it displays s-log 3 but it would be great if this could also display the audio channel bars that show up on the camera screen as well. It would also be nice if you could also control playback directly from the app, as you can view it from the app if you preview your video on the camera. I'm just talking about having a preview button on the app, I know the video isn't being stored on the phone. Will continue to use. Add luts and it'll be perfect!
Really great app for live view video
