Digi in REC: questions
How do I get the Digi look on iPhone video?
Open REC, pick Digi 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 Digi.
Does the Digi camera change the sound?
Yes. The digicam's pinhole microphone: mono, 150 Hz to 9 kHz.
Is Digi free in REC?
Every camera, Digi 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).
