Like any pro camera, Mattebox lets you half-press the shutter release to lock
the exposure and focus. You can then recompose and take the shot. You never need
to move your finger or thumb from the shutter release. Just press to lock, and
slide down slightly to take the shot.

The white balance is locked by default in Mattebox, giving you complete
consistency between shots. To change it, just tap on the dedicated WB button.
It changes, then locks. Do a fast tap to change the WB only slightly, or a
longer press to fully neutralize the color.

Even with a minimalist viewfinder, Mattebox displays the selected shutter
speed, ISO, focal distance and aspect ratio. A lock icon indicates when focus
and exposure is locked.

Mattebox is a perfect match for Canopy’s Kapok iPhone case. Kapok’s dual-stage
buttons have a true half-press, which maps directly to the AE & AF lock in
Mattebox. Half-press to lock, then recompose, and fully press to
take the shot.
