Features & Capabilities

Mark II Artist's Viewfinder helps filmmakers and photographers explore locations and angles to find the optimal camera placement. It simulates real camera and lens combinations so you can visualize what you’ll shoot before you set up gear, turning scouting into training and helping you see composition more clearly.

Handles Like Your Camera: exposure compensation, autofocus lock, AF confirmation beep, a Quick Control Screen, Smart Function Keys, and shutter control via the volume buttons. The tool also supports a 0.5x super-wide lens simulation for landscapes and architecture, real-time distortion correction, a black & white mode, and a large camera/lens database. You can define custom cameras and lenses, store location metadata with your captures, and export GPX track logs to share with your crew or rental house.

Very convenient having a tool to compose future shots with you all the time. GPS feature makes it great to be able to go back and find those pic opportunities later.
