Bodycam in REC: questions
How do I get the Bodycam look on iPhone video?
Open REC, pick Bodycam 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 Bodycam.
Does the Bodycam camera change the sound?
Yes. Tuned for voices: mono, 180 Hz to 6.8 kHz, compressed.
Is Bodycam free in REC?
Every camera, Bodycam 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).
