AX-1 in REC: questions
How do I get the AX-1 look on iPhone video?
Open REC, pick AX-1 from the camera strip and press record. The look runs live in the viewfinder, so what you frame is what you get. You can also import a video you already shot and develop it through AX-1.
Does the AX-1 camera change the sound?
Yes. A microphone sealed inside a waterproof case: mono, 120 Hz to 7.5 kHz.
Is AX-1 free in REC?
Every camera, AX-1 included, is in the free download, and your first take is free. Unlimited takes need REC Pro ($9.99 a year or $2.99 a week, US prices).
