About Artemis Director's Viewfinder

Artemis is a digital director's viewfinder designed for cinematographers, directors, and anyone interested in filmmaking, photography, cameras, and film. Artemis works in much the same way as a traditional director's viewfinder but more accurately and with many more features.

If you have any issues please email us anytime for support. We are very happy to help!

By selecting your camera, an aspect ratio and a list of lenses, Artemis allows you to compose shots with the same field of view as the camera/lenses you will be shooting with. You can then save images, complete with focal length, GPS data, compass heading, tilt and roll, date and time, camera/lens information, and much more. A great tool for any level of filmmaker, Artemis is perfect for location scouting, storyboarding, blocking, rehearsal and preproduction.

For lenses wider than the your devices camera's field of view, Artemis adds "padding" on the screen. While this is not ideal, it's our best solution for getting around the limitations of the camera in your device.

Artemis has been field tested with every camera in our database to make sure that the field of view is correct. No other multiformat director's viewfinder has as many camera specific formats or lens sets.

Please note that field of view is measured from the "nodal point", roughly mid way down the length of the lens, in keeping with the method used by lens manufacturers.

I've been using this app for years. It doesn't work anymore for the past few months. Yes I have updated to the latest version. It still doesn't work. Opens and crashes. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND BACK PLEASE. So that I can spend on another viewfinder. Thank you

Y70%
by Y####:

I've been using Artemis for a few years and it has steadily been getting more and more unreliable to the point where it has become useless as an on-set tool. Fifty percent of the time the app won't even open and just crashes, which when I'm lining up a shot with the Director is obviously no good. The developer doesn't seem interested in getting rid of the bugs in the Android version compared to the Apple one so I'm going to try and find a reliable alternative and dump Artemis.

I use this on a Galaxy s4....The artemis team were fast at responding to inquiries that I made, offering advice and solved small issues with my phone in such a short time. I would highly recommend this application to anyone in production. A+++++

Suddenly stopped working... After Android update. Tried everything. Restarted phone... Reinstalled the app... Just solved I wrote to them they helped me out with an older version thanks

U70%
by U####:

4/5 times I open the app it barely works, crashes, or stretches the frame. 1/5 times it works flawlessly and is very useful. However, on set there's very little time to wait for an app to start working, so it doesn't beat a manual viewfinder. Also need a feature to stop phone from going to sleep in use.

U70%
by U####:

This app has become totally useless and is an utter waste of money. It keeps crashing. everytime I try to take a picture the app crashes. That's the one thing it should be doing, instead it's the only thing it doesn't do. Did expect this from an app I paid money for. Some free apps work better than this.

Crashes when I take a photo. Began after update

G70%
by G####:

I am a professional cameraman that regularly uses cameras with different size sensors so this app is great for pre visualization on shots. Also great for location surveys.

M70%
by M####:

Isn't functioning properly post the update that i got yesterday. Taking forever to start up.. All my settings got reset so had to do it all over again..& then the app shuts down once I click a picture. Doesn't let me click or save a picture. Was on a location scout and had to salvage the day by taking screenshots of the frames I set. Not cool. Plz plz rectify the bugs ASAP! Thanks.

Images are upside down! This is a known issue and apparently Google days vendors need to check their code. Please fix asap. Looks like a great app otherwise. UPDATE: new version I received fixes this problem. Fantastic support, fix in less that two hours. 5 star service.

Y70%
by Y####:

Insanely useful tool, especially for projects where there just isn't enough time for too many lens swaps. The camera/lens inventory is just a little behind the times (hoping for Canon Cine Primes to be added soon), but otherwise I love it.

Hello, someone ordered this on my phone while i didnt want it. I have no use for this app because I don't work in the camera dept and I have absolutely no need for it. I would like a refund, please. Thank you!

Y70%
by Y####:

Highest rating not only for usefulness of an application, but for customer support too! I had an compatibility issue which was solved in one single e-mail. If something doesn't work - contact the developers first. Very polite and ready to help. UPDATE: the boot time is very long.

P70%
by P####:

Great App. Needs constant update of cameras and glass. Have had a few jobs recently that don't have supported cameras or lenses. Fs7 and sony primes need to be added soon.

O70%
by O####:

It works great on my LG G3 and and it has my D800 and the Nikon FX Lenses in it. But a Video mode, especially in 4K (if the phone features it), would make it perfect.

Works as described. Customer service is super helpful and fast. I had an issue on the Nexus 5X and received a patch the next day. Great way to do business.

This app rocks!

P70%
by P####:

...keeps crashing on my brand new Nexus 4. I get it up and running, get my camera settings done, take the photo but when I hit save I get the annoying "Unfortunately Artemis has stopped working" about half of the time. || edit: the developers got in touch with me within 24h and have been working hard to supply me with beta builds top try and resolve issues.The main one mentioned above seems to have been fixed and any minor ones I am sure will be gone with the next official update. Amazing customer service for a great app. Upped from 3 to 4 stars, most probably will get to 5 with the next official update.

N70%
by N####:

I wish we had some exposure adjustments for the camera (strictly for aesthetics; I know the cell phone ISO and exposure would be irrelevant to the real cameras)

N70%
by N####:

The only one I've found that will five you a full screen, scaled view. Wish I could save camera/lens packages and load then with one option instead of manually selecting the camera and all lenses available.
