All language subtitles for Reeflex Pro Camera 3.0 - The Update We Needed!

WeFlex have released version three of

their pro camera app and it does bring

some significant upgrades, especially

for macro photographers. I'm going to go

quickly over the list of features that

have been added to the app. The big one

for macro photographers and myself is

focus bracketing. That has been added.

That is a great feature. We have

exposure bracketing. We got burst mode,

so tap and hold for burst mode. Burst on

tap removes tap and hold delay, stuff

like that. Camera selection, you can now

select both optical and digital crop

cameras. And then we've got performance

improvements, zero shutter lag. That is

something I've moaned about in the past

about the lag when you press the

shutter. Takes half a second for it to

take the picture. That's been eliminated

now, which is brilliant. Got overall

improved UI features, enhanced gallery

features. What I want to do now is I

want to take you through the app now

because this version three is a

significant improvement over the old

app. And you've seen me use the app

before in the past. Now, let's have a

look at this new app and I'll take you

through it and show you the features.

And I have a rather half-dead flower

down here, okay? That's what we're going

to use just for a demo. So, I'm

currently using the 240 mm lens with the

200 mm macro add-on and it's attached to

the telephoto lens. So, the first thing

I would need to do to show you some

demonstrations here is to change the

camera. And we can do that by down this

section here

and we can go to 4x and that gives us

our telephoto camera. So, at the side or

the top, depending on the orientation

you're looking at it, you've got a

little white slider. We can bring that

down and we can go into the options. So,

what you want to do is you want to look

at camera settings. Let's take a look at

there. We have enable location. That's a

brilliant little feature. Embed

thumbnail, so if you're going to use raw

format, you can embed a thumbnail.

Burst on tap and focus lock. You can

enable those if you want to. I

personally don't use those. The burst on

tap, when you enable that, will give you

a number of shots once you click on the

shutter button. Here, I've set it to 10

shots. So, once I press the shutter

button to take a picture, it will take

10 shots. And the focus lock is

basically to lock the focus so it

doesn't alter on each shot.

And then we have our focus peaking and

I've got mine set to red. So, let's come

out of that now.

And obviously you've got links to their

other apps in there as well and as well

as the community,

other lenses. We've got an app tutorial,

slow shutter tutorial. I'll get onto

that in a minute. I love it. But, let's

come back to the camera app. So, you can

use the app in either horizontal or

vertical.

You see icons change, but not everything

changes when you go into horizontal. So,

I'm going to use it in the vertical

orientation, which is similar to what

you would be using if you was out in the

field with this, okay? Then at the

bottom, we have our main settings, which

is our ISO, shutter speed, exposure

compensation, your focusing and your

white balance. Those are brilliant,

okay? Now, the reason I'm not going to

touch them yet is I want to show you

something that's unique to the iPhone,

which is very irritating and that's your

format. We go to the bottom right, we've

got pro raw format. We can select our

formats, HEIF, JPEG, pro raw or raw.

And then we can select our megapixels.

Now, the megapixels depends on which one

you select. So, if we go JPEG, we can

select 12 or 48. Go raw, we can only

select 12. Zero processing. Does that

mean the iPhone's upscaling, maybe? I

don't know.

HEIF

or pro raw flexible. So, I would

normally use pro raw flexible with 48

megapixels. What I want you to do is

keep an eye on the bottom right corner.

If I come in here and start adjusting

our ISO, it automatically goes back down

to 12 [music] megapixels. So, if you do

decide to do that, bear in mind that you

will be losing the 48 megapixel file and

you'll be down to a 12. Now, to reset

that, one of the easiest ways to do is

to come into our format and resolution

and down the bottom you've got manual

exposure. If we turn that off, it'll

take us back to pro raw with 48

megapixels. We're going to come back up

to the top.

Bring this little slider down. In here,

we have our flash,

off, on, automatic or torch. So, if we

put it to a torch, we can turn that

torch on when we want to take a picture.

I don't use that at all because the lens

kind of blocks it, but you can use that

if you're not using a lens. And again,

you don't need a WeFlex lens on it to

use the app. We have our timer, 3

second, 10, 20 or zero. That's

brilliant. We have grid lines, so we can

put our grid lines on,

rule of thirds, so on and so forth.

I tend to leave that off. We also have

the guides and if you look in the

center, you can see some white guides.

If I move this about, let me take it off

here, so you can see that a little bit

better.

You can tell whether your orientation is

correct. You can see there when it's

correct, it highlights green. Same as

when we go horizontal. You see there?

Not something I use in my work, but it's

there if you need it. So, to the bottom

left, we have highlight and shadow

warnings. We can turn that on, okay? And

if I just cover this up, you're going to

see

there's your shadow warning. That's that

saying it's basically pitch black. And

then if I can orientate my hand in such

a way, tell you what, let's bring

[music] the shutter speed down. You can

see you've got highlight warnings.

So, let's come back and reset that back

to pro raw. On the right-hand side, we

have our have our histogram. You can see

there we're a little bit to the dark

side, but it doesn't matter. We're just

doing this demonstration. And we can

also change that to a colored histogram

if you want to by clicking on it and

that shows the individual RGB values of

your scene. Right down the bottom, we

have a left hand icon. Looks like a

little iris. That is our motion blur.

This I absolutely love. So, we can

simulate a 2-second exposure

in the the camera itself. So, if you

look at this, right? You watching? See,

there's no blur.

If I take a picture now, you can see how

it blurs it. It's like built-in ND

filters. And I used this to create this

image here of an alien.

And I use my smoke machine here. I'm

going to set my exposure, let's say

[music] let's go 5 seconds, okay? And

you notice your exposure doesn't change.

It's just you know, normally, if you're

doing an ND filter, you'd have to adjust

your exposure because you're putting a

shutter speed that's lower. Whereas with

this, you don't.

Take a picture.

You see? That there, the motion blur. I

honestly, I love it. So, it goes from

half a second all the way up to bulb,

which is brilliant. I love that. One

thing to note about the motion blur is

when you go into the motion blur, you

will automatically go down to a HEIF

with a 12 megapixel. There's no way

around it. It's just the way it is. It's

long exposure limited to 12 megapixels

and long exposure requires a standard

compatible format. So, there's just

there's no way around it. I still had a

lot of fun playing with [music] that

slow motion feature. I'm going to skip

this next one. We'll go on to uh AV,

which is exposure bracketing. So, if

you're doing HDR type of image, you can

use that for exposure bracketing. And

then we can flip the camera around.

Hello.

Just have the uh front ones. Right now,

then. Two more things I want to show you

before we get onto the focus bracketing.

Let me just go back to 48 megapixel.

Down the bottom here, we have an I icon.

This is your focus peaking, okay? So,

I'm just clicking to change the focus

and you can see on the edges of the

petals, you've got some red. That is our

focus peaking. And again, we can change

the color of that. If we come into our

settings,

let's go with a blue.

Going to come back out, okay? And you

can see now the highlights are now blue

and you can see that in the center of

the flower. So, focus peaking for anyone

out there doesn't know it, it's an

overlay that highlights the pixels that

are sharp. Essentially, where your

sharpest focus point is.

It is highlighted with the selected

color that you choose. Now, another

brilliant feature that I like is the

zoom feature. So, you can see see here,

this is a zoom feature. So, we're

digitally zooming in, but it's great

[music] to nail focus. You can see there

that that's not in focus.

If I bring it forward,

you can see how it comes into focus. See

there? So, that would be in focus right

there. If we come to MF, that's our

focus. So, that's nearest

and then that's far away. So, we can

adjust our focusing. Okay, we can click

on these icons here to

>> [music]

>> automatically go to the end of each one.

So, that's close focusing and that one

is as far away as possible. That's going

to come into play in a minute. We have

our white balance. Now, I'm under 5500

Kelvin. So, we're going to set that

there. And you notice if we mess with

the focusing or the white balance, it

doesn't adjust our pro raw. We're still

at 48 megapixels. Your ISO or your

shutter, that it adjusts that. I'm not

too sure why. So, let's go into the

focus bracketing and this I absolutely

love it. So, in here, it goes from zero,

which is your closest focusing,

to one. Now, this is the same chart that

is on your manual focus just here.

Okay, which is great. If you've got

subject that's not running around and

it's nice and still, you can sit down

and you can work out exactly where you

want your focusing to start. Let's say

we wanted to start from there,

which is around 15, 16. And then we want

it to end

here, which is around 75. We can dial

that in just here. So, let's go from

14

to about 75. That's your focusing set.

That's your focusing range where the

actual bracketing is going to move down.

Next, we need to set how many images and

you can go from three

all the way up to

100. You do it just by sliding your

finger on the number. So, for this

demonstration, I'm going to bring it

back down. We don't need that many. And

we're going to come to Let's Let's keep

it simple and we're just going to do

15. Once that's all set, all we have to

do there is press start. It's going to

start capturing a focus bracket, and you

can see them building up down the bottom

there. It tells you what number you're

on, 8 of 15.

And it'll keep going until we get to 15.

And you can see the focusing adjusting

as well.

And the good thing about this as well is

once it's finished, you can press it

again and it'll restart from the same

focusing. So, once it's finished, it

comes back to the original focusing. If

you want to cancel it, we can just press

our shutter and cancel it, and then we

can come out of it. Absolutely

brilliant. Now, check this image out

here of my jumping spider. This is a 100

image focus stack taken on the iPhone

using the Reflex 240 mm

with the macro add-ons and their pro

camera app.

Absolutely brilliant. Here are some

images that have been taken on the

Reflex Pro Camera App version 3.

All of these images have been edited

using my macro presets. There's a link

in the description for my presets, or

you can click on the QR code that's on

the screen now.

Here's an interesting shot. You can see

me setting up a flower shot that's going

to be a focus stack. This is a stack of

20 images out in the wild using the

Reflex Pro Camera App. Very difficult

shot to get because of the breeze, but I

did manage to get this shot here.

Again, no complaints about the focus

bracketing feature in the app. So, that

is the new Pro Camera App from Reflex.

Brilliant update. Some really great

features that have been added in to this

app. And the app is currently only

available for iPhones. So, let me know

what you thought about this. Is it a

great improvement for you? I think it's

fantastic for me. Let me know in the

comments your thoughts. I want to thank

you for getting to the end of this

video, and I will see you on the next

one.
