Description
FrameCoach is an AI cinematography coach that connects to your Sony camera and turns your creative intent into expert-level settings recommendations. You describe what you want — "keep the sky dramatic but don't lose the kids in shadow" — and FrameCoach analyses your live camera feed, reads your current settings, and tells you exactly what to change first.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Connect your Sony camera over WiFi
2. Describe your creative vision in plain language
3. FrameCoach captures and analyzes your frame
4. Get up to 3 prioritized recommendations
5. Apply settings and shoot with confidence
CAMERA-AWARE INTELLIGENCE
FrameCoach knows your specific camera model — its noise floor, dynamic range, and sensor limits. Recommendations stay within what your camera can actually do. No generic advice. No impossible settings.
Supports 40+ cameras across Sony and Canon — A7 series, A6000 series, EOS R series — with more models and brands being added regularly.
POWERFUL ANALYSIS ENGINE
Every recommendation is backed by real cinematography science — histogram evaluation, highlight and shadow clipping detection, skin tone analysis, and zone-based exposure assessment. AI reasoning works on top of this analysis to coach you like a professional DP.
LEARN THE WHY, NOT JUST THE WHAT
Every setting change comes with a clear explanation of the reasoning behind it. FrameCoach doesn't just tell you to drop your ISO — it tells you why, so you build real cinematography intuition over time.
COMPOSITION COACHING
Get feedback on framing, headroom, subject placement, and visual balance — not just exposure settings.

Nouveautés (v1.5.0)
Clearer help when your Sony camera won't connect. Newer A7 IV-and-up bodies now get a specific tip when "Access Authentication" needs turning off — the menu path is right there, no Googling. Older bodies still get the Smart Remote Embedded reminder they had before.
One-tap Access Authentication reminder the first time you add an A7 IV-or-newer. Right after you save the camera, we show a single tip with the exact menu path to flip off — Menu, Network, Network Option, Access Authen. Settings. Tap "Got it", and we never show it again. (Reset all coaching tips from Settings if you want it back.)
"Camera added" stays on screen while we're connecting. When you've just added a camera, a small green line confirms the camera is saved — and stays visible the whole time we're working on the first connection. Even if the connection takes a moment or fails, you know the camera itself is in.
Faster fail when a camera isn't there. If you tap a camera that's off, out of range, or has the wrong password, you'll see the failure screen within about 15 seconds — instead of waiting through a long retry loop. Tap the camera in the sidebar to try again once it's awake.
The connection status now updates as time passes. If a connection is taking longer than usual, the message changes from "Connecting to your camera…" to "Still looking — this can take up to a minute on newer Sony bodies" and then "Almost there — make sure the camera is nearby and powered on" — so you can tell we're still working on it, not stuck.
A new "Report an issue" button on the connection screen. One tap opens your mail app pre-filled with the details we need to help — camera, app version, and what step failed. We get the diagnostics; you get a real reply.
3:2 framing now matches what you record. The 3:2 aspect ratio guide showed a wide letterbox window, even though your saved video came out tall. Fixed — the framing preview and the recorded file now agree.
Reliable audio on quick iPhone clips. Short tap-and-release recordings sometimes lost the first beat of audio, or all of it, on very short clips. Audio now stays in sync from the moment you start recording.
