A note from the photographer who built it
I learned on film. You chose a stock before you loaded the camera, and that choice was the look.
Then came 25 years on advertising sets, where a brand’s red has to be exactly its red and skin has to look like skin under any light. That is where I learned color.
My phone never worked that way. It decided everything for me and left the look for later. So I built the camera I wanted to carry. Every film in The Dana is color science I developed and crafted by hand, and the flash works the way it does in my studio.
Diego Sanchez Cadavid, photographer, director, and developer of The Dana
Films
A film sets color, contrast, grain, and a fixed white balance in one choice. Keep four loaded and switch between them while you shoot.
Flash
TTL flash with the built-in light, metered by LiDAR on Pro models. Pair a Bluetooth radio trigger and fire a studio flash from the phone.
Capture
RAW and Apple Log 2 in 10-bit HEIF, so each film starts from everything the sensor recorded.
