Magic ViewFinder simulates using tele adapters or anamorphic optics on your camera (see menu). From the menu you can also select the aspect ratio of the frame guide overlaying your image.
Magic ViewFinder also lets you apply some commonly used color presets (also known as LUTs) to the live picture, which brings you even closer to the final shot.
When you have found the right view, you may save it for future reference, with additional data like the focal length, tilt and roll, date and time and camera / lens information.
While taking a photo, you may lock exposure and turn on and off the auto focus to better control the captured picture.
At the start there is a constant middle-speed center-based auto focus engaged to keep your images focused. But you can tap the live screen to focus on particular objects. Long-click to return to continuous AF.
If the field of view of your real camera is wider than your in-device camera, Magic ViewFinder adds 'padding' around the image, since the device cannot 'see' what is beyond its scope. It is the best solution that we developed first, and other viewfinder apps copied this feature from Magic ViewFinder.
Please note that position of your Android device corresponds to the 'nodal point' of your real lens, which is somewhere in the middle of the lens. This point is, so to speak, the weighted center of the optics.
Depth-Of-Field tool: If you want to check depth-of-field, press DOF icon and calculate the near and far limits of DOF while changing the aperture and the focus distance.
Specifically, Calibration is recommended for a precise operation of the app. You can start Calibration process from the menu, the instructions are on the web site.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★As a photographer I find the app very useful. It saves me from carrying my cameras for location scouting. The dev's super helpful and quick with replies. Thanks
5 ★Excellent app
5 ★very helpful!!
5 ★After having tested this side by side with other popular apps in the market, I can honestly say it's really worth more than what you have to pay for it. Doesn't lack a single feature and has top notch support. Big thumbs up!!
5 ★This is a great app. I've tried several other "director's viewfinder" type apps and this is the best. The others are all too fiddly to setup and to use. I particularly like the quick selection of focal lengths which I've customised to suit my range of lenses and the support for the micro four thirds format sensor. This app is very handy to use when I'm out and about scouting locations and the geotagging option is particularly useful to help me remember where a shot was taken. The DOF fleld function is also a very nice addition to the app. I don't use the LUT function except that it can be useful to have it enabled and take a monochrome shot. The quick change of aspect ratio is also a nice feature. A couple of quick suggestions if I may. I bought the paid version particularly because of it making it harder to accidentally trigger deletion of preset focal lengths, please can you make this process harder as I still accidentally press in the wrong place. Also would you consider the inclusion of rule of thirds and particularly golden ration overlay grids in a future version. Thanks for a great app and kind regards. Thanks for the latest update Roman, the best just got better!
5 ★Very best app!!!
5 ★Nice app. Thnx for development.
4 ★Very useful,👍
5 ★Very useful. Will force everyone at Met Film School London to use it. Thank you for not over charging your app. A true life saver! (But why not invest in a more professional looking icon, Roman?)
5 ★Use it constantly on set with director, and also every other department for crystal clear communication of shot setups. A great scouting tool too. Catalogue possible shots and send pictures directly from app to all relevant people. Also, I had a small glitch using it with my Nexus 5x and Roman fixed the problem within hours. Couldn't recommend more.
5 ★Definitely a "must have" for directors and cinematographers. Well done, really.
5 ★I use this on every shoot. Feels faster and more "native" than other viewfinder apps. Easy to use, and also includes a helpful DoF calculator. The only thing I miss from Artemis/Cadrage is the ability to save lens packages and see an overview of the different FOVs afforded by your selected lenses.
