CineTemp

CineTemp uses the iPhone camera for approximate color-temperature and ND estimates, with a shot library for scouting.

Our take

Record a rough lighting reference during pre-production

Notes, comparison tools and sun-path views connect observations with a planned location.

Keep in mind: The developer explicitly describes approximate readings rather than a dedicated-meter replacement; camera processing can influence results.

What you can do

  • Inspect estimated color temperature and luminance
  • Save shots with notes and metadata
  • Use the described map and sun-tracking views

Good for

  • Filmmakers comparing scouting observations before instrument checks.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users requiring calibrated absolute light-meter measurements.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.6.
  • The developer explicitly describes approximate readings rather than a dedicated-meter replacement; camera processing can influence results.

Privacy & permissions

Shots can carry time and location metadata; the release notes describe hiding location when exporting frames, which should be checked before sharing.
