Lite version of the Cinema FV-5 app

Cinema FV-5 Lite is a free video application for mobile by FGAE Apps. This is the lite version of the premium Cinema FV-5 app geared toward video recording use. It gives users the chance to test out its features to see if they like it before opting for a full purchase.

Compared to the premium Cinema FV-5 app, new users will be glad to know that they will be able to utilize the full set of features and options available in Cinema FV-5 Lite. The only difference is there's a limitation to the length of videos that can be recorded.

Professional-grade settings

When it comes to using your smartphone camera, it will be to take photos and capture special moments most of the time. However, there are those who prefer videos over stills, and deal with the lack of advanced options and settings. That is why a niche segment of sorts has been created to cater to videographers, with Cinema FV-5 Lite being one option among them.

As its name suggests, this is the lighter version of the premium Cinema FV-5 offering. What's nice about it, though, is that you still get access to everything the full version offers. That means recording up to 4K videos with a customizable viewfinder and pro-grade settings like ISO, light metering, exposure compensation, and more. There's even a sound metering function that displays audio peaks and clipping while recording.

Other features include geotagging, switching between multiple zoom levels, and the ability to capture audio from wired and Bluetooth mics. Now, as mentioned earlier, there is a limit to this lite version, and it's about the short video recording length. It's not the biggest tradeoff considering you still get to try out every feature, but it is still worth noting all the same.

For videographers

In summary, if you use your smartphone camera for videos and want to have more control over your shooting experience, give Cinema FV-5 Lite a try. Apart from the recording length limit, it pretty much offers the same experience and functionality as the full version. It's feature-packed and there are plenty of things to configure it to your liking. Recommended.
