Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the film Looks? +

Tapping on the Look pill in the top bar opens the Looks carousel drawer at the bottom of the screen. FredCam includes a full suite of professional cinematic Looks that render gorgeous analog grades directly in your live viewfinder. In addition, you can import your own custom Looks from standard `.cube` files, giving you infinite creative flexibility to capture your signature look.

What is a LUT? A LUT (which stands for Look-Up Table) is like a professional digital color blueprint. Think of it as a highly precise, advanced film filter that translates the raw colors captured by your camera sensor into curated cinematic shades. Instead of just washing your photo in a single color, a Look maps and shapes every highlight, shadow, and skin tone individually to recreate the timeless feel of classic analog film rolls in real-time.

What camera resolutions and formats are supported? +

FredCam supports high-fidelity capture in HEIF, JPEG, and uncompressed professional RAW & ProRAW formats. You can fully exploit your iPhone's camera sensor capabilities, choosing between standard resolution for light and fast file handling, or maximum resolution for full image detail and sharpness.

Where are my photos saved? +

To preserve complete physical storage transparency and workflow compatibility, FredCam saves all captured media items directly to a custom, dedicated album named "FredCam" inside your native iOS Photos application library.

Can I use the hardware buttons to capture? +

Yes! FredCam actively monitors your system's hardware output volume keys. Pressing the physical Volume Up or Volume Down buttons acts as a physical shutter trigger. System HUD popups are automatically suppressed to ensure an unobstructed shooting display.

How do I switch between different camera lenses? +

Quick lens buttons at the bottom of the viewfinder allow instant switching between your iPhone's physical optical focal lengths (such as 0.5x Ultra Wide, 1x Wide, 2x, or 5x Telephoto). You can also drag the zoom dial for smooth, continuous magnification.

Can I create my own custom Looks inside FredCam? +

Yes! With FredCam's built-in Looks Studio, you can tune RGB tone curves, color balance, contrast, and HSL parameters in real time directly on your live viewfinder, then bake and save your custom color transformations directly into standard .cube 3D LUT files.

How does the Viewfinder Horizon Leveler work? +

FredCam uses high-frequency motion tracking to compute pitch and roll angles in real time. A floating level bar overlay in the center of your viewfinder gives clear visual alignment indicators and light haptic feedback when your camera is aligned within ±1° of the horizon.

Does FredCam support geotagging and privacy controls? +

Yes. When location permissions are granted and geotagging is enabled, active GPS coordinates are injected directly into your photos' EXIF metadata. You can toggle geotagging on or off at any time in Settings for complete privacy control.

How do I view and manage my captured photos? +

FredCam includes an integrated photo gallery. Tapping the thumbnail icon in the bottom left opens your captures in full screen, where you can swipe through photos, double-tap to zoom, share via the iOS Share Sheet, or delete photos directly.

Are my captured photos backed up? +

Yes. FredCam saves all captured media directly to a dedicated "FredCam" album inside your native iOS Photos application library. These photos automatically participate in standard iCloud backups and device migrations in accordance with your iOS system settings.
