Pearla is now Pearla Verana IV — the fourth major version of the app, and the biggest update we've shipped. CAPTURE • PearlaRAW: capture 14-bit RAW stills and record 14-bit RAW video internally, on every supported iPhone. • Burst at up to 25 fps in 14-bit RAW or 40 fps in 12-bit RAW, with pre-capture. • Shutter Priority exposure mode: lock your shutter speed and let ISO adjust continuously — for video work and for freezing motion. • Intervalometer across every capture pipeline. COLOR • RealHUE 2: per-device color calibration, now with on-device fine-tuning. • Pearla Wide Gamut (PWG) working space behind Log, film emulation, HDR, RAW and custom profiles. • New film emulation engine with luminance-aware grain and halation, rendered in real time up to 4K60. • New Log support: Apple Log 2, D-Log and I-Log, joining S-Log3, LogC3, C-Log3, F-Log/F-Log2, V-Log, N-Log, L-Log and Blackmagic Film Gen 5. • Edit looks after capture, and import profiles from Pearla Revela. AUDIO AND MONITORING • Real-time audio mixing that replaces the external microphone on many shoots. Dialogue lifts clear of the scene at capture, on the iPhone's own mics. It is non-destructive, so you can always adjust to your liking or pull the original audio. • False color monitoring for exposure. • Speech-activated teleprompter. WORKFLOW AND CONTROL • Built-in RAW editor: grade RAW photos and video shot in Verana IV and export to Photos or Files as Log or as finished deliverables. • Customizable settings presets assigned to custom buttons, plus a new customizable Quick Menu. • Remote capture from a second iPhone, and Tilta Nucleus-M support. Existing subscribers keep the price they signed up for as long as their subscription stays active.
