A DIRECTOR'S VIEWFINDER New, and the reason for this release. Pick a body, its shooting mode and a lens set, and the live picture shows what that combination would see. The frame is the sensor's native shape and holds still; changing lenses ramps the phone's zoom so the picture moves behind it the way it would if you swapped glass. 81 bodies and 124 imaging modes across ARRI, RED, Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Nikon, Leica and Z CAM. 103 lens series, cine and stills, with mount adapters, speed boosters, extenders and anamorphic squeeze. Framelines, a thirds grid, and shading you control. The white balance now reads out inside the viewfinder in the units of the body you picked — not whatever the meter screen was left on — and says NEAREST K or CC CLIPS when the body cannot actually be set to what the light is. AE lock and an exposure trim. A luminance histogram. A three-way grade previsualised over the live picture, written as ASC CDL so the numbers on screen are the numbers a colourist would type. Capture stills or walkthrough clips. Every frame carries the camera, lens, frame shape, angles of view, white balance and place — burned across the picture and listed on its own page. Group them by job and send a shotlist PDF. SCOUT The four tools for standing somewhere before the camera does — the viewfinder, your captured frames, the sun tracker and predicted colour — are together on the tool row now, under their real names. ON THE METER Zoom steps through 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x and 8x instead of flipping between 1x and 2x, so you can take a whole room in or meter a practical across it. Place names and coordinates can now be kept out of every export — the CSV, the PDF, the shotlist and the strip burned onto a captured frame. In Calibration, under PRIVACY. The Kelvin reading is steadier. The sun tracker gained solstice tracks, a sky grid and any date. Framing answers the questions people actually arrive with, and gives the custom marker number your monitor asks for. FIXED Buttons that sometimes needed a second press before they would take. Info and the walkthrough now cover everything above.

Version 5 is the biggest update since launch. Five new tools, all built on the meter you already have. GELS Measure a source, and the app tells you what to put in front of it. Pick a target - 3200K, 5600K, or anything between - and it returns the gel from the LEE or Rosco book that gets you closest, where the light lands, and what it costs you in stops. Match mode does the harder job. Meter the window, meter the practical, and it gives you the gel that makes the second match the first. Mixed daylight and tungsten interiors, solved on the spot. PREDICTED COLOUR What the light will be, where you are going, before you get there. Exact sun geometry for any place and any time, narrowed by cloud cover from the forecast. Drop a pin on the map or jump to where you are standing. Already on location? Anchor the prediction to your live reading, and the app models only the change from it. THE DAY Every reading from a shoot day, plotted against the sun that produced it. Colour temperature on a mired axis over night, blue hour, golden and full sun. A jump in the trace where the sun did not move is a lighting change somebody made - visible on the day, not in the grade. FRAMING 52 sensor formats from ARRI, Sony, RED, Blackmagic, Canon and Panasonic, with recording modes listed separately rather than averaged. 18 delivery ratios including 4:5 and 9:16. Angle of view for any lens, and the exact pixel dimensions for your timeline at 8K through 720p, with even, mod-8 and mod-16 rounding. SUN TRACKER The sun's path over the live camera, with sunrise, sunset, golden hour and shadow length for any date and place. Set a horizon angle for a valley or a building and the times move with it. SCENE REPORTS Export a day as CSV or PDF. Every reading now carries where it was taken and where the sun was standing, alongside the stills, the rig settings and your notes. Scenes shows it too - place and sun stage on every row. SHOW ME AROUND A guided tour that lights up each control in turn on the real screen, swipes the console to the page it is describing, and walks you into the sun tracker. Replay it any time from Info. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - Camera profiles for 19 bodies, each checked against the camera it describes, plus a one-minute routine to fit the tint scale to your own - Warning when a source sits too far off the blackbody line to trust a Kelvin number from - Redesigned readout with a swatch of the measured light, and scales that read like instrument scales - The colour temperature scale now labels itself correctly - captions sat up to a sixth of the bar from the value they named - Widget now available on iOS 18. It previously required a newer system than the app itself, so it quietly never appeared - Fixes for the saved reference surviving an update, the app group behind the widget, and the sun tracker asking for location

Version 4.1 is a massive leap forward, turning Cine White Balance into a true, live-reading exposure and ND calculator. Updated UI to allow Display Zoom • Live Advanced Exposure Calculator: We’ve tapped directly into the iPhone’s sensor to read real-time Scene EV. Set your target FPS, ISO, Shutter, and Iris, and the app will instantly calculate the exact light reduction needed. • Cinema-Standard ND Suggestions: The calculator now outputs standard whole-number Filter Factors (ND4, ND8, ND64, ND128) alongside the exact decimal stop reduction (e.g., -6.8) so your AC knows exactly which glass to grab, and the DP knows exactly how to tweak the Iris. • Direct Keypad Entry & Toggles: Say goodbye to rigid menus. Tap any exposure variable to pull up a custom number pad and punch in exact fractional frame rates, custom shutter angles, or native sensor ISOs. Includes instant toggles for T-Stop/F-Stop and Angle/Speed. • Tactile EV Comp Bar: Added a sleek, horizontal segmented scale for rapid -3 to +3 exposure compensation adjustments on the fly. • Streamlined Dashboard UI: Consolidated the paging console into three highly focused tabs. We also relocated the Hardware Profile badge to the top navigation bar to give the central Kelvin and Tint readouts maximum breathing room, and forced Dark Mode across all input keyboards to protect your eyes on dark sets.

• Expanded Cinema Profiles: Added native menu-translation support for DJI (Cinema & Mavic), Fujifilm, Z CAM, Kinefinity, Leica, and Lumix bodies. • Precision Visual Gauges: Replaced read-only sliders with clean, hardware-style horizontal telemetry meters and real-time indicator ticks. • Unified Symmetrical Layout: Re-architected the bottom console into a balanced, 6-button thumb grid that perfectly clears the iOS Home Indicator safe area. • Tactile Haptic Feedback: Added distinct physical haptic clicks to all buttons, capped off by a heavy mechanical clunk and screen flash when tapping the primary shutter. • Streamlined Telemetry HUD: Moved the active camera profile badge and native translation strings down into the central cluster for a faster, single-focal-point reading.

• New 16:9 widescreen diagnostic viewport window to reduce screen glare on set • Active Camera Profiles to lock your workspace to a specific system • Live dial translation telemetry for selected camera menus • Added Panasonic LUMIX and Leica SL camera systems to the guide • UI polish, performance improvements, and bug fixes

What’s New in Version 2.0 • Home Screen widgets for quick reference at a glance • Control Center access for fast launch and instant readings • Improved white balance accuracy and stability • Faster spot meter response with smoother readings • Refinements to the camera-specific white balance guide • UI polish, performance improvements, and bug fixes Thanks for using Cine White Balance. More tools and refinements coming soon.
