Selecting & Changing Camera Lenses

Switcher Studio lets you choose from the available camera lenses for your camera views. You can only record or broadcast from one lens per device at a time. However, you can change the lens selection at any time.

To change the camera lens for a camera view:

• Open the Switcher Studio app

• Tap the camera you want to change in the Sources panel.

• Tap the blue camera icon in the top-center.

  • A menu will appear displaying the available lenses.

• Tap the camera lens you want to use.

Note: If you switch camera lenses while "Record On All Cameras" is enabled, Switcher Studio will temporarily stop capturing video for the camera you are reorienting and start a new video file.
