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.
