You control the picture.

Exposure and focus are the first two decisions behind every shot. Move the sliders to set them.

Find the sharp point with the focus slider, then set the exposure so the sky keeps its colour.

02 // Raw vs final

Anyone can record.A film-maker frames.

The same person in the same street can look like a phone clip or a frame from a film. The difference is a handful of decisions. The left side is the same clip, tilted and overexposed to show the mistakes.
