FieldMonitor 4.3 adds Focus Assist (works with Sony Alpha Cameras)

Share

Adam Wilt updated his FieldMonitor 4.3 APP which now has Focus Assist:

FieldMonitor is an iPhone app for Wi-Fi monitoring and control of Panasonic Lumix and Sony Alpha cameras, aimed at video production. It has long had exposure aids like false color, histograms, and waveform monitors; markers, framelines, and grids; LUTs and anamorphic support, but it wasn’t a great choice for focus pulling due to the low-resolution images sent over Wi-Fi… until now.
FieldMonitor version 4.3 adds two Focus Assist modes: a peaking control like those found in professional video viewfinders, and an “edge mode” that paints a bright edge-detection image over a lower-contrast normal picture. Both assist modes are fully adjustable so you can dial in just the strength needed for any shot.
Focus Assist is built into FieldMonitor and doesn’t depend on the camera’s focusing aids, so it works for any supported camera and operates just as well while recording as it does in standby.
