False Color for iPhone — Professional Exposure Monitoring

False color maps luminance levels to colors so you can judge exposure instantly — the same technique used on ARRI and Sony professional monitors. CinePro brings this pro tool to your iPhone.

How false color works in CinePro

CinePro applies a real-time false color overlay on your live preview using a CIColorCube mapping. Different brightness ranges appear as distinct colors: shadows, midtones, highlights, and clipping regions are easy to spot without guessing from a small phone screen.

When to use false color

• Outdoor shoots with high dynamic range
• Skin tone exposure checks in interview setups
• Matching exposure across multiple takes
• Learning exposure alongside zebra stripes and manual ISO/shutter control

Works with other pro tools

Toggle false color independently alongside zebra stripes (50%–109% threshold), focus peaking, and AI composition guides. All processing runs on-device — your footage never leaves your phone.
