THE CDNC PRINCIPLE
Film character, built into every take.
Professional camera apps can make everyday moments feel like a production. Filter libraries offer endless choices without enough direction. CDNC is built around a different idea: dependable capture, a small collection of exceptional looks, and a finished image you can trust.
CAMERA / EVERYDAY LIFE
Stay in control
Filmmaker controls when you need them, a clear interface when you do not.
APPLE LOG
Built for Apple Log
A managed color pipeline designed around iPhone capture, not a generic filter applied as an afterthought.
Fewer, better looks
A restrained collection developed for natural skin, controlled highlights, and photographic character.
Set the shot. Choose the color. Refine.
From manual capture to built-in Film Looks and precise color controls, CDNC keeps the creative path focused in one iPhone app.

INSIDE CDNC
Serious imaging tools. One clear workflow.
CDNC combines device-validated capture, source-aware color management, and nondestructive look controls in one native iPhone app without turning everyday filming into a technical exercise.
01 / CAPTURE FORMATS
Capture in the format the shot needs
Record in 4K, HD, or Open Gate using HEVC or Apple ProRes 422 LT, with Standard, Apple Log, or Apple Log 2 on supported iPhones and capture combinations.
02 / CAMERA CONTROL
Filmmaker control without the cockpit
Use automatic, locked, or manual ISO and white balance, choose precise shutter behavior, including a locked 180° shutter, and tap to focus or lock focus and exposure.
03 / FILM EMULATION
Film character, built into every take
Preview a focused collection of film-inspired Looks while you shoot, then refine film-print contrast, grain, diffusion, and lens blur while preserving the original master.
04 / SOURCE-AWARE COLOR
Color that understands the source
Each film-inspired Look follows a transform made for the footage’s actual source: Standard, Apple Log, or Apple Log 2. A mismatched color asset is never silently substituted.
05 / LOOK + COLOR
Refine the image
Shape exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, color, skin tone, seven-band HSL, diffusion, grain, and lens blur. Crop and trim remain focused finishing controls.
06 / EXPORT OPTIONS
Export what the workflow needs
Save a display-ready video, export the camera master, or both. Looks, adjustments, crop, and trim remain nondestructive.
CAPTURE OPTIONS VARY BY IPHONE MODEL, PHYSICAL LENS, SELECTED FORMAT, AND IOS VERSION.
Shoot, shape, and finish without the round trip.
Typical log workflow
Shoot → Transfer → Grade elsewhere → Export
CDNC workflow
Shoot → Choose a Film Look → Refine → Export
CDNC focuses on capture and look/color refinement, not multitrack editing.

WHY CDNC
“I wanted the immediacy of the iPhone without giving up the color and texture I care about in my professional work.”
CDNC is the camera I wanted to carry every day: deliberate enough for a filmmaker, simple enough for real life.
