About this app

***** Important Update for Red ViewFinder app ******

1. WE ARE WORKING ON IT. We are aware that recent Android updates have caused issues with saving still images in the app. We are sorry and we want you to know – this is being actively fixed.
We are rebuilding the app from the ground up to ensure full compatibility with the latest Android versions.

2. TEST THE NEW BETA APP. A new version is already available for you to try as an Open Beta.

How to join the Open Beta:
-- Visit this app's Google Play listing
-- Scroll down to the "Join the beta" section near the bottom of the page
-- Tap "Join" and you will receive the updated beta version

We especially need your confirmation that image capture is working reliably on your device. If saving photos works for you in the beta, please let us know in a review or feedback — it helps us enormously.

3. WHAT FEATURES NEXT? The beta 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.

Very useful! I like it a lot and I use it for filming. I have Red Dragon 6k. Problem is that the location is not saved correctly. I hope this problem will be solved. I would love to see to the right do not zoom in- out but the lenses you already want. thx man

Yeah the quality is the best quality I've ever seen out of all phone cameras, intact the quality looked better than actual quality of our reality. but there's just one thing...why can't we record as video!? Please please could u make that an option? Of an light glare was a bit glary. Maybe a light glare option. But wow what beautiful camera. It will br a 5 with camera as it will fulfill my desire.

This app isn't working on my Mi note 13. None of the magic viewfinder apps are working on this mobile. I approved all the permissions required and after clicking the shutter button, it notifies as "processing image" but nothing happens.. I waited for long time but no use.... Help me resolve this

What’s new

Still image saving is now fully fixed. On top of that, we've packed in a new set of tools:

• Customizable focal length barrel with index marks
• Full in-device camera control: exposure, focus, flash, white balance
• Tap-to-focus with visual feedback

Thank you for your support — more features are on the way!
