Field notes
The page describes records grouped by shooting day, with each clap, false take, or tail slate capturing slate data, camera metadata, ratings, and notes. It also lists fields such as lens, ISO, internal ND, shutter, and white balance, and says camera frame rate stays synchronized with the timecode panel. The iPad case for mounting a physical clapper stick is presented as a roadmap item, not a current feature.
