5/5Almost perfect, full auto needs to be better
This app is so close to being perfect but for me I’d like a better auto mode as there are several issues with it currently. The shutter speed likes to stay around 1/30th in relatively dark environments, while the ISO moves around, when the shutter is close to 360 degrees there is a MASSIVE dynamic range hit, so forcing it to never go below a 180 degree equivalent would be perfect. In general I would love it if tap to focus/expose could be decoupled so it’s only tap to focus, I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve had my manual setting dialed in and accidentally tapped somewhere that’s not a control. There should be better built in LUT options, as the Apple 709 one is terrible. Though I have it set up with an Apple Log to HLG LUT that I made so I can actually monitor in HDR, which is essential for seeing what your doing outside, and crucial for me since I target an HDR delivery with these files, so what I see is what I get.

4/5Great software but..
It's really good software, i used it in my vlogs, unboxing videos, and other stuff. Having so much settings that unavailable in default iphone camera is helps so much. But today i had some issues with it, i can't record for really long, or i just can't record timelapse videos. I don't know why, but for some reason after 3-4 hours of recording, i found that app just closed for no reason. The videos itself seems normal and all okay, but why it keeps doing that? My phone is iPhone 11, i have more than 50gb of free memory, my settings is pretty normal, 4K 30 fps, H265, Timelapse is set to 1 frame every 30 seconds, and i have right now 2 records that about 13-14 seconds long, by calculations is about (14 seconds * 30 fps * 30 seconds / 60 seconds / 60 minutes) 3.5 hours, and after this i find my phone chilling on home screen, no errors, it looks like somebody just closed app. I wanted to record timelapse that is 168 hours long, but seems like default camera just don't have any settings to change speed or intervals between frames, and blackmagic keeps closing for no reason, it's not overheating, i checked it, it's not frame drops, record button not flashed with exclamation mark, it's not memory (even with my settings 168 hours long record is about 11 minutes long footage with 30 seconds interval between frames), so, why is it happening?

4/5First version feels polished
For a first iteration of an app, this seems incredibly stable, robust with features, and easy to use. Having built in luts day one is awesome, so many exposure tools, great codec options, good color, and the list goes on. Amazing work Blackmagic team! I only have 4 criticisms (or more like recommendations). My first criticism is I wish there was a way to tap to focus without also turning on auto exposure. Its terrible when you have everything locked in, then you tap to focus and now your exposure is messed up. Second criticism is that it uses a histogram for exposure. I wish I could change that to a wave form. Wave form is more useful as a quick reference when exposing the whole frame and find myself relying less and less on histograms. My last request is I hope we get a 10bit log codec for older iPhones (the 14 can handle a 10bit log file proven by other apps). Would be nice to push the colors a bit more and see if we could squeeze a bit more dynamic range out of the iPhone sensor. Overall, amazing app so far and I’m excited to see updates pushed out in the future. I cannot imagine filmic pro being happy about this app not only being free, but being better in many ways. Considering the filmic app is a subscription (an expensive one at that), many users will be jumping to this immediately.

2/53.2 fixed a lot but 3.3 kills recording
Update: April 25, 2026: Version 3.2 fixed some issue and was working GREAT (except for still NOT being able to view a LUT while using an iPad for remote control without baking it in, please fix this) so I updated to version 3.3 and now I can’t record for more than 4 minutes and the app stops recording with an “unknown error”. Recording ProRes to the same external drives I’ve used for the past year with no issues until now. Tried 2 different drives and same issue. It gets so close to being great and then tanks. Update Oct. 16: after multiple restarts the ISO seems to be working correctly but……i have to restart multiple times every shoot because the issue constantly comes back. So I decided to update to 3.1 and now ALL of my LUTS are gone. Everything had to be re-installed. On top of that is it no longer possible to view the LUT on my iPad when using it as a remote monitor. Unless “record LUT to clip” is selected. Which I don’t want. This makes the remote monitor almost useless and I cannot figure out why BM would take this feature away. I’ve been using this app for a while and have been trying to like it. There are some nice features but it is impossible to lock ISO. Shutter locked, WB locked, ISO manually selected and…….the ISO auto adjusts constantly. It makes the app worthless. Don’t bother dialing in the perfect lighting every time someone enters the frame or moves the ISO adjust and the carefully dialed in look and lighting is lost. Today I updated to the newest version and it was more of the same. So many good things about this app but not being able to lock in setting makes it worthless.

4/5So far so good
The ability to adjust ISO and white balance is what convinced me I needed to try this app. I make mostly small videos with me in the shot talking as well as do a video podcast with a few friends. My white balance would shift between warm and cool at times with the native iPhone app. In iOS 17 they now have the ability to lock white balance. But I was noticing the images were sometimes a little grainy when I would shoot in my “home studio”. The ISO was always too high trying to shoot the low light stuff. Between my background lights, key lights and full light the native iPhone camera wasn’t producing the best results. Now lowering ISO and adjusting my lighting afterwards made a huge improvement. The other thing that almost had me deleting this app was the audio seemed extremely low when I was using my USB microphone. I was turning up the gain on my microphone way higher than I had needed to do before. Just figured out tonight that if you tap on the audio meter, gain control pops up inside the app to make adjustments. It starts off at the lowest level and you can raise it from there. Pretty sure when using the native iPhone app it just comes through at full gain preset.

Support for recording in Apple Log on iPhone 15 Pro
-
1.1
Blackmagic Camera 1.1 adds support for recording 23.98, 29.97 and 59.94 fps when recording on your iPhone 14 or later, meaning you can now shoot footage to match a wider range of project frame rates. This update also includes support for external timecode sync using Tentacle Sync E giving you frame accurate recording across multiple iPhone cameras, making it easier to edit multicam footage in post production. There is also additional support for Tilta Nucleus Nano and Nucleus M lens control, providing hands free control for zoom and focus when your physical camera is not within reach. In addition, you can now lock the camera orientation in the Blackmagic Camera settings, allowing you to maintain the vertical or horizontal aspect regardless of camera movement. This is particularly helpful when recording directly to external USB-C storage on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and the camera is on a boom or jib. iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max also support recording in Apple Log to help capture the full dynamic range of your scene so images graded in DaVinci Resolve can use that detail to create rich and vibrant colors, deep blacks and crisp highlights. What's New in Blackmagic Camera 1.1 * Support for recording at 23.98, 29.97 and 59.94 fps. * Support for Tentacle Sync E for external timecode sync. * Support for Tilta Nucleus Nano and Nucleus M lens control. * Support to lock application orientation in settings. * Support for landscape mode in both directions on iPhone 6.7" models. * Support for HDMI output with status text overlays. * Support to mirror the display to an HDMI output. * Project selection is now retained across app restarts. * Existing clips now upload when setting is changed to uploads originals. * Addressed potential glitches when notifications received during recording. * Addressed issue where recording could sometimes not be stopped. * Addressed Apple Log option availability on user migrated iPhones. * Addressed gamma issues previewing video in Apple Log mode. * Addressed issue when recording to HEVC in Apple Log. * Addressed an issue with HDMI clean feed on some TVs. * General performance and stability improvements.
