Blackmagic Design, a company known for its professional video equipment, has made its Blackmagic Camera app more accessible to Android users. Initially only available on a few high-end Samsung and Google Pixel phones, the app now works on a wider range of popular smartphones, including models from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and older Samsung and Pixel devices.
This app turns your smartphone into a professional video camera. It gives you control over settings like frame rate, shutter speed, and white balance, just like a real film camera. You can also use tools to check how your video looks and make adjustments.
The latest update brings even more features. You can now reduce noise in your videos, dim the screen while recording, and apply color filters called LUTs to give your videos a specific look. Plus, teams working on video projects can share files more easily using Blackmagic Cloud.
While smartphone cameras have improved a lot, professional video equipment still offers the best quality. But for those who want to experiment with more advanced video settings on their phone, the Blackmagic Camera app is a great option.
