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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

One thing I’m basically begging you guys to incorporate is the cinematic mode that can now be used in 3rd party apps with the IOS 26 update. If that depth of field can be incorporated with high bit rate recording (not sure if that’s how it works exactly I may be wrong), then hands down this would be the most innovative and professional tool for any filmmaker. That’s literally my only slight problem needing to switch to the actual camera app for shots I deem necessary to have a shallow depth. I can’t wait to drop a cinematic reel sharing this all with everyone, many have already been surprised by the clips I’ve shown thinking I was shooting on an Alexa; but it’s just good cinematography with a very incredible app!

I absolutely LOVE this app. It’s well beyond any of the settings that Apple allows in their default app. I just have a few things I kept running into that would make this a full 5/5 for me if these updates could happen. Comments for improvement - •Progress bar for file transfers from internal to SSD •Bubble level tool •Remote viewing from Apple Watch •When replugging back in an SSD, remember a default SSD and selected folder location. Even better, have a “favorites location” that populates faster than having to dig through folder structure each time you plug in a drive. •Ability to flip the interface to the left instead of defaulting the record button to the right when shooting horizontal. Sometimes I had to one hand hold the phone and the record and settings always on the right side of the made it hard to operate with one hand at times. •Custom saved settings. I don’t want my 24mm lens to use the same ISO I’m using for the 120mm if the aperture is faster on the 24mm. I keep having to change multiple settings to switch lenses which slows me down. I’d like to have custom settings to tap and get into faster, or remember the settings I used with the previous lens automatically. •Option to swipe to hide “camera, media, chat, settings.” I don’t need these viewable at all times, they often they just take up space.

I'd like to make a feature request, for an optional new gesture, that when enabled, would take the place of the default pinch to zoom gesture. How it works: press and hold from anywhere on the opposite side of screen from record button, and it gives a haptic tick (letting you know it's engaged). From that point, sliding up/down would zoom in/out, with the screen's top/bottom representing being fully zoomed in/out. Since gesture can be started from anywhere on that side of screen, but the boundaries stay fixed, sensitivity dynamically scales, based on where you started gesture from (ex. starting from higher, gives more room on screen to be able to slide down, for a precise, slow zoom-out. etc). Also, when not recording, long-pressing the top/bottom corner of screen, would give it a haptic tick & temporarily pin the current zoom level, as the maximum/minimum limit. Repeating the gesture would clear the temporary limit. Unlike maps or photos, video zoom always targets the center, making pinch-to-zoom redundant and a frequent cause of jerky footage. This single-finger gesture eliminates running out of screen real estate mid-zoom, and eliminates ever having to swipe a virtual wheel multiple times, in order to fully zoom in/out. If successful, and if it ends up being intuitive, you could eventually add the same gesture to the record button side— to either control the most recently selected dial, OR allow user to assign it to something specific in settings.

I love that it is free (loyalty building in case any of us make it big and need professional hardware) and that the app gives me so much control of the cameras. But beggars are choosers so of course there is just one more feature I would like to make this perfect: dual camera recording on the same iPhone. I am doing walk and talk videos. Currently, I have to walk the path twice - once to the front facing A roll and once to do a rear facing B roll to use when I have to edit between takes. I really want to shoot both at once. There are dual camera apps out there, but they are all for a monthly fee and do not give the excellent features of this app. This is a fantastic app. I appreciate that you provide it at no charge with even fewer limitations than you put on your DaVinci Studio free version. These two pieces of software let me make videos I can be proud of.

Whenever I plug in an external mic it only picks up mono and never gives me a stereo recording. I’ve tried rode video mic pro, and rode wireless go. Both only seem to pick up mono and no stereo even though it’s clearly putting out a stereo signal from the wireless go. Also, BLACKMAGIC, if you’re reading this, please allow it to capture and output to 2 audio devices. For example: I would love to be able to have a mic input and an output device. Right now you can only select one, so if you want to monitor your audio while recording you need to have a mic that has a headphone output built in, or you need to unplug the mic each time your done recording something and go into your media and playback your recording to hear the audio. I’m no app developer, so this might be harder than it seems, but I imagine with an update you could connect a DJI mic 2 via Bluetooth to your phone as the input, and then connect AirPods via Bluetooth for the output. Then you’d have wire free recording & monitoring which would also leave the usbc port open for recording to an SSD. Right now u need some giant bulky hub in order to record via external SSD and have a mic input. Plus these hubs usually require power, so now you have to have a hub, an external battery, a mic, an external SSD, and a way to hold all that in your hands. It goes from a small compact video camera to something bulkier than your average mirrorless camera. All of this is fixable in a software update with an audio input & audio output option. Otherwise…. This app is amazing, and BLACKMAGIC is still top tier in my opinion for indie filmmakers. That goes for their mirrorless cameras and their editing software too. I hope BLACKMAGIC reads this! A potentially simple fix would solve a lot of problems. I would pay $ for this update.
