Blackmagic Design announced – on X, sharing their news behind a wall! – that there is a new update to Blackmagic Camera for iOS. Version 2.1.1 of the app introduces, according to the company, “improved colorspace tagging when using LUTs, better locking of white balance and shutter angle in recording mode, as well as more consistent representation of shutter slider, focus peaking and zebra overlay values.”
Blackmagic Camera, which is free, unlocks the power of your phone by adding Blackmagic’s digital film camera controls and image processing! Here is what the company says about the app:
“Now you can create the same cinematic ‘look’ as Hollywood feature films. You get the same intuitive and user friendly interface as Blackmagic Design’s award winning cameras. It’s just like using a professional digital film camera! You can adjust settings such as frame rate, shutter angle, white balance and ISO all in a single tap. Or record directly to Blackmagic Cloud in industry standard files up to 8K! Recording to Blackmagic Cloud Storage lets you collaborate on DaVinci Resolve projects with editors anywhere in the world, all at the same time!”
