Holding the iPhone
The easiest way to use Pro Camera Classic is with two hands. The fluid exposure (ISO) and focus controls are designed to rest under your index fingers. Using this type of grip gives you direct and easy access to the basics controls required to operate the camera such as focus and exposure.
Understanding the interface and controls
The Pro Camera Classic interface has been broken down into three levels of control.
The primary controls are always accessible when you are filming and can be directly manipulated from either the standard or full screen interface. These are controls you will use all the time.
The secondary controls are accessible from a sub menu located on the left and the audio menu located on the top right. These are controls that you will probably use to setup a shot and you may change them during filming. Any primary or secondary controls can be changed while you are recording.
The tertiary controls are accessed from either the settings menu located on the top left or audio settings menu located on the top right. Within these menus are settings and controls that would normally be changed at the beginning of a filming session and they cannot be changed while recording.
In addition to various controls, Pro Camera Classic also provides real-time signal analysis. A waveform monitor, vectorscope and VU meter are available in both the standard and fullscreen interface and a number of image visualisations can be applied in the viewfinder.
