The photograph begins at the shutter
From Natural’s quiet rendering to Veil’s swirling highlights, choose the character that suits the scene. Keep the controls close and your attention on the photograph.
01 · Style
Choose smooth Natural tone or punchier High contrast. Add a glow around bright detail and choose the grain for your finished photograph. The Style panel stays below or beside the viewfinder, leaving the image undimmed.
02 · Frame
Compose in 3:4, square, 2:1, or 3:1. An optional dimmed live area shows what sits just outside the crop, while the rule-of-thirds grid keeps the frame disciplined.
03 · Depth
In Portrait, move Depth toward Shallow for more blur or toward Deep for less. Each depth-enabled lens remembers its own setting, so a subtle Natural portrait and a more expressive Veil photograph can both feel right.
Find your optical character
Clean, Natural, and Hex are included free. Collection I adds Dream’s soft glow, Veil’s swirling highlights, and Meridian’s smooth portrait rendering. Compare the lenses on the same scene before choosing.
