Description
***** Important Update for Magic Sony ViewFinder app ******
1. WE HAVE REWORKED THE APP. We were aware that older Android updates have caused issues with saving still images in the app. We are sorry and we want you to know – this is fixed now. We are rebuilding the app from the ground up to ensure full compatibility with the latest Android versions.
2. TEST THE NEW APP. The new app has less features than it used to have, but we are working to bring them back. We especially need your confirmation that image capture is working reliably on your device. If saving photos works for you now, please let us know in a review or feedback — it helps us enormously.
3. WHAT FEATURES NEXT? The app currently includes live camera preview, frame guides, and image capture. Many more features are on the way. If there is a feature from the current version that you rely on and would like to see prioritized, please tell us in your feedback. Your input directly shapes what we build next.
Thank you for your patience and loyalty.

I've been using this app consistently for years, and I must say—it’s nothing short of brilliant. As a creative technician working in the field, this tool has become an essential part of my workflow. It allows me to visualize shots, experiment with lens choices, and plan my framing with precision, all without lifting a camera. That’s a gift. Thanks to the developers, this app has empowered countless cinematographers and DOPs to enjoy their craft more deeply. It bridges the gap between imagination

It is very handy, since I use primes only, the app lets me check various focal lengths without changing lenses
★★★★★Mike Enslin· May 9, 2023
Works for what I need. But I think the app only detects the main lens, so I can't simulate all focal lengths. I wanted to see what a 13 mm on apsc would look like but apparently my phones' camera tops out at like 24, after that it just has to crop stuff out which is weird because in the normal camera app I can get it super wide (galaxy s23). But this might just me not knowing how sensor size and focal lengths work.

The image process is very, very slow and very bad please do something about it otherwise the app is classic

Too good to be true! Not even close to what you will get on the camera. Zoom out, and you will get a grayed checkerboard! Really a joke! Response to developer: Learn to accept negative reviews. Your app is useless and that's a fact, like it or not! When claim that it does something but only partially, this is what you get. As long as for the positive reviews, naives is all one can say. Thankfully you can try before you buy... Count the 1-star reviews, and you will get the actual picture.
