4. Click 'Attach' to apply the settings to your prompt bar
5. Write a prompt or attach an image and hit the blue arrow to generate
### Camera
The camera body affects the overall color tone, contrast, and texture of your image. Each camera has a distinct color science that shapes how the final result feels.
Tip: think of the camera body as the personality of your image. ARRI feels warm and natural, RED feels sharp and punchy, and IMAX feels massive and immersive.
| Camera | What it does and when to use it |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ARRI Alexa Mini LF | Natural skin tones and soft highlights. Great for cinematic narrative work and high-end film looks |
| RED Red V-Raptor | Sharp, high-contrast detail. Ideal for action, commercials, and crisp digital cinema |
| Sony Venice 2 | Rich colors with strong low-light performance. Works well for drama, indie films, and moody scenes |
| Panavision | Warm, classic Hollywood feel. Best for studio-style productions and traditional film aesthetics |
| Blackmagic | Filmic look with good dynamic range. A solid choice for indie films, music videos, and short films |
| IMAX | Massive scale and extreme detail. Use for landscapes, spectacle shots, and immersive visuals |
| Arriflex 16SR3 | Grainy 16mm film texture. Perfect for vintage, documentary, or retro aesthetics |
### Lens
The lens shapes how light enters the camera and affects qualities like bokeh, flares, and sharpness. There are three main types to know:
* Spherical: clean and natural, what most people picture when they think of a photo
* Anamorphic: wider and more cinematic, with horizontal lens flares and oval-shaped bokeh
* Experimental/Vintage: artistic effects like dreamy blur, swirly bokeh, or selective focus
Tip: spherical for clean, anamorphic for cinematic, experimental for artistic.
| Lens | What it does and when to use it |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Cooke S4 (Spherical) | Warm and smooth with subtle bokeh. Known for natural skin tones and the classic "Cooke Look" |
| Panavision (Anamorphic) | Widescreen cinematic look with horizontal lens flares and oval bokeh. The classic movie feel |
| Canon K-35 (Spherical) | Warm, slightly soft, vintage character. Great for retro or nostalgic looks |
| Hawk V-Lite (Anamorphic) | Modern anamorphic with controlled flares and clean widescreen framing. Balances vintage and modern |
| Zeiss Ultra (Spherical) | Sharp, precise, and clean. Best for modern, polished visuals |
| Lensbaby (Experimental) | Selective focus with dreamy blur and creative distortion. For artistic and experimental work |
| Petzval (Vintage art) | Swirly bokeh and soft vignetting with a painterly feel. Ideal for artistic portraits and dreamy scenes |
### Focal length
Focal length controls how wide or tight the shot feels and how the background relates to the subject.
Tip: lower number, wider view. Higher number, tighter zoom. Think of it like a dial: turn it down to see more of the scene, turn it up to focus on less.
| Focal length | What it does and when to use it |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 8mm (Fisheye) | Extreme wide angle with visible distortion. For surreal, immersive, or action-style shots |
| 14mm (Ultra wide) | Very wide field of view with slight distortion. Great for landscapes, architecture, and establishing shots |
| 24mm (Wide) | Wide but natural perspective. Works well for street scenes and setting context |
| 35mm (Standard wide) | Natural and versatile. A go-to for documentaries, dialogue scenes, and general shooting |
| 50mm (Standard) | Closest to how the human eye sees. Good for portraits, narrative scenes, and general purpose |
| 85mm (Portrait) | Flattering compression with shallow depth of field. Ideal for portraits and close-ups |
| 100mm (Short tele) | Moderate zoom with good subject isolation. Use for product shots and tight portraits |
| 200mm (Long tele) | Strong zoom that flattens depth. Best for distant subjects and compressed backgrounds |
That's how you use Camera rig on Morphic. Experiment with different camera, lens, and focal length combinations to find the right cinematic look for your project, whether you're generating AI images, creating videos, or building out a visual style.
