CINE WHITE BALANCE

Turn your iPhone into a professional-grade cinematography color translator and exposure meter. Designed for Directors of Photography, Camera Assistants, Gaffers, and Indie Filmmakers, Cine White Balance bridges the gap between environmental light readings and the exact menu settings your camera sensor requires. Don't settle for generic calculations that leave you guessing in post-production. Get instant, calibrated menu step translations for the industry's leading camera ecosystems, plus live-sensor ND filter calculations for perfect exposure. Key Features Live Advanced ND Calculator: A true live-reading exposure engine. The app actively reads the Scene EV through your lens. Input your target FPS, ISO, Shutter, and Iris (T-Stop or F-Stop), and the app instantly outputs the exact cinema-standard ND filter required (ND8, ND64, ND128, etc.) along with the precise decimal stop reduction. Direct Menu Translation Engine: No more abstract data decimals. Read a light source and get the exact color settings required for your camera body—including Sony C-Tint, ARRI CC, RED Tint, Canon Shift, and more. Massive Camera Ecosystem Support: Native telemetry profiling for ARRI, RED, Sony Cinema/Alpha, Canon Cinema/EOS R, DJI (Cinema & Mavic drones), Fujifilm, Z CAM, Kinefinity, Leica, and Panasonic Lumix. Tactile Hardware-Inspired UI: A perfectly symmetrical, swipeable dashboard mapped out for rapid, run-and-gun operation. Enter highly specific custom fractional shutter angles and ISOs via direct keypad entry, or use the sliding segmented scale for instant EV compensation. Visual Precision Gauges: Track environmental Kelvin (2000K–7000K) and Magenta/Green tint shifts on high-contrast, real-time horizontal light meters engineered explicitly for bright, harsh filming environments. Immersive Shutter Response: Full physical confirmation on every tap. Features customized haptic feedback loops capped off by a heavy mechanical shutter simulation and screen-flash exposure effect when snapping measurements. Built for the Set Zero Subscriptions / Zero Ads: Built by a filmmaker, for filmmakers. Pay once, use forever. Live Match Delta: Lock a reference lighting state as an anchor and track real-time color temperature drift as you move across the stage or wait out changing weather conditions. Spot Metering Precision: Target exact fixtures, mixed-lighting spill arrays, or color-neutral 18% gray cards using an adjustable on-screen spot sampler. Stop guessing your color offsets and ND filter factors by eye. Streamline your workflow, match multi-camera arrays on a budget, and secure perfect sensor continuity with Cine White Balance today. Convert iPhone white balance readings directly into native menu steps and calculate precise Neutral Density drops. Pro precision for only $2.99—no subscriptions!

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.
