Night in REC: questions

How do I get the Night look on iPhone video?

Open REC, pick Night from the camera strip and press record. The look runs live in the viewfinder at 24 frames per second, so what you frame is what you get. You can also import a video you already shot and develop it through Night.

Does the Night camera change the sound?

Yes. Mono, 120 Hz to 7 kHz, with hiss.

Is Night free in REC?

Every camera, Night 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).
