False Color feature

[padjola]

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is a support for showing false color? I see that there is focus range and zebra available, but couldn't find this feature. Also I guess that if this option exists, it is non related to a camera brand?

(I'm exploring the free version of the app, so maybe it's a premium feature I'm not aware of. I also did a search of forums, but haven't found any information related to that topic - thus sorry if it's been asked before).

Thank you!

P.S. Forgot to mention that I'm referring to the Android app.

Could you please explain more specifically what exactly you mean by 'showing false color'?

Sure thing Catherine! Thank you so much for the reply!

It's essentually a visual representation of pixel values, used for creating a correctly exposed image. What it does is that it shows the footage, overlayed in different colors, along with a bar displaying which colors are at the end of spectrum (like a legend). It takes color values of each pixel and colors them accordingly. That way one can see if the video is exposed in a correct way.

This feature is usually found on field monitors when doing video work, because histogram has a better use in photography.

Maybe this could be a new relatively easy to add Helicon Remote feature since you alredy have overexposed/underexposed overlay in place (these would probably work in a same way, but coloring other ranges as well).

Please chek out these two to get a clear picture (video link and image) and feel free to ping me if you need more information.

That's a nice function, thanks. Perhaps we should replace our current primitive overexposure highlighting with this. We'll experiment with it.
