- The histogram samples the camera frame before preview adjustments; optional metadata can record the camera, film stock, and applied preview settings.
Field notes
The controls include ISO, shutter speed, aperture, white-balance Kelvin, keyboard focus stepping under some conditions, and a Space-key shutter shortcut for moving through a roll. The maker says preview changes do not alter the saved RAW; metadata recording is optional and off unless enabled. The page identifies macOS 14+ and lists three tested camera bodies.
