Blackmagic Design has upgraded its Blackmagic Camera iOS app with additional control features aimed at streamlining professional video capture on iPhones. This updated app now supports various features that mirror the experience of using a professional Blackmagic cinema camera, enabling iPhone users to access settings usually reserved for advanced equipment.
With this app, users can now manually adjust frame rate, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and even more refined settings such as tint, exposure, and focus assist. The integration of a camera control button allows quick access to essential parameters, enhancing user experience by providing responsive in-app navigation and controls for tasks like audio metering, overlay guides, and focus peaking. Additionally, it offers external Bluetooth accessory support, enabling remote camera control and synchronization with other iOS devices or Bluetooth-enabled tools.
For professionals, the app is particularly valuable for its seamless integration with Blackmagic Cloud, enabling real-time collaboration through DaVinci Resolve. This setup is especially beneficial for on-the-go editors and filmmakers looking to upload media directly from the field. Users can automatically sync clips, manage proxy uploads, and configure settings for either local or cloud-based storage, enhancing the collaborative workflow potential.
Moreover, the Blackmagic Camera app offers media management options like automatic sorting by shot type, duration, and project organization. It even includes metadata tagging for detailed production notes, making it easier to keep track of every detail in complex projects.
Overall, the Blackmagic Camera app is free on the iOS App Store and is compatible with iPhones running iOS 16.6 or later. With this latest update, Blackmagic has made a significant leap towards empowering mobile filmmakers by delivering a more accessible, yet professional-level video recording solution on iPhone devices.
