On Screen Heads Up Display

The heads up display, or HUD, has the most important camera controls such as lens selection, frame rate, shutter angle, timecode, ISO, white balance, tint, histogram and audio levels. You can adjust settings such as exposure by touching the ISO indicator, or you can change the audio levels simply by touching the audio meters. It's that easy! Everything is interactive, so if you tap any item you can instantaneously change its settings without having to search through complex menus! You can clear the heads up display to reveal the full screen image by swiping up or down with your finger.

Status

The indicators across the top of the screen show various camera settings and they can also be changed, just by touching the specific setting. An easy to use adjustment palette will then be displayed!

Lens

Lens let’s you select a lens for your shot. Cell phones often have multiple rear lenses ranging from wide angle to telephoto, plus a front lens. Iris is automatically set based on your lens choice.

Frames Per Second

The frames per second adjustment is normally set based on the post production delivery format. You can adjust the frame rate from the preset 24 fps up to 60 fps depending on your phone model.

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed lets you adjust for varying light conditions or control the amount of motion blur in your image. You can set it manually or choose from suggested speeds by scrolling the speed dial.

Timecode

The timecode indicator will show you either the duration of your recording or the time of day. During recording the timecode will turn red, and display the embedded timecode playing back the clip.

Project Name Indicator

If you have selected a DaVinci Resolve project to record to from the media tab, the name of this project will be displayed above the timecode in the HUD.

ISO

ISO adjusts the image sensor’s sensitivity to light. A setting such as ISO 100 is suited to outdoors, with higher values great for low light situations. Tap the ISO icon to access the ISO settings.

White Balance/Tint

White balance lets you adjust for different temperatures of light. Common presets include sunlight, overcast and fluorescent light, or you can set it manually. You can save settings by locking them.

Resolution

The resolution you set in your record settings is shown in the status display, so you can check if you are shooting in 720p, 1080p or up to 8K at a glance.

Histogram

The histogram helps check exposure. The left side shows shadows and the far right shows highlights. If the edges of the histogram come to an abrupt stop, adjust exposure to ensure you’re not clipping.

Audio Meters

You can monitor the recording levels of the internal microphone or external sources using the audio meters. To avoid distortion, peak audio levels should fall in the upper end of the green zone.

Record Button

The record button lets you stop and start recording. Tap it once to begin recording and tap it again to stop. When recording, the button and timecode at the top of the screen turn red.

Storage Indicator

Storage indicators show the remaining recording time on your phone’s internal memory in hours, minutes and seconds. Turn on the storage indicator display by accessing setup menus in the settings tab.

Upload Indicator

When you are uploading to Blackmagic Cloud, the upload indicator displays the name of the clip as well as the upload speed, the percentage of the clip that is uploaded and time remaining to complete.

Zebra

The Zebra display will draw diagonal lines over areas of your image that have excessive exposure level. The variable control when used with the histogram lets you see the best exposure for any scene.

Focus Assist

An extremely powerful feature, focus assist adds a colored highlight to fine image detail, so you can see what parts of the image are in focus. This allows manual focus to be used for cinematic looks.

Grids

The grid control adds on screen markers for framing and positioning items in a shot. There is a range of on screen markers including a rule of thirds grid, crosshair and a center dot.

Frame Guides

When shooting digital film, other aspect ratios are often used. On screen overlays include 1.85:1, 2.35:1, 2.39:1 and 2.40:1 for theatre release. Or use 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 for social media!

Safe Area Guides

Safe area guides let operators ensure important image content does not get too close to the edge of the screen, otherwise it could be cut off when viewed on consumer grade televisions.

False Color

False color overlays colors to represent different exposure values. Pink represents optimum exposure for lighter skin tones, while green is good for darker skin tones, and red is overexposed.

3D LUT Indicator

LUTs let you preview a specific "look" so you can see what it will look like after it has been color corrected. Depending on the phone model, a LUT icon is displayed in the top left of the LCD.

Touch to Focus

Touch to focus allows you to auto focus your lens in any region of the image. Tap the screen in the area you want to auto focus. Touch and hold to lock the focus and exposure.

Auto Exposure

Auto exposure adjusts ISO and shutter angle to achieve the best exposure for your image. You can simply tap anywhere on the screen to quickly set that as your auto focus area.

Image Stabilization

Image stabilization prevents shaky footage and helps make your video look more professional. Tap to select which level of stabilization you wish to use for smoother motion.

Zoom Control

Zoom gives you up to x8 magnification using presets, or you can manually adjust the zoom by scrolling the scale by up to 15x. Tap the zoom icon to hide the display and return to full screen view.

Entering Metadata

Metadata makes sorting and processing footage in post production easier. The slate lets you add additional details such as shot type or project name. Swipe left or right to change the pages.

Camera Setup Menus

The settings tab unlocks the full power of the phone’s camera, with quick access to advanced settings such as monitoring, audio, camera setup, recording and more! The record tab allows control over video resolution and recording format including H.264 and H.265. On iPhones you can also use Apple ProRes as well as anamorphic de-squeeze and lens correction settings. Professional audio options include VU or PPM audio meters. For iPhone there’s AAC, IEEE Float and PCM formats, plus you can add external microphones! Blackmagic Camera also includes professional monitoring tools such as zebra settings for checking exposure, focus assist, frame guides and more. Or add 3D LUTs to recreate film looks!

Media

The Blackmagic Camera media tab has all the controls needed to browse or scrub clips for quick review, search and sort and view the upload status of your media. You can also link to your photos and select clips to upload to the Blackmagic Cloud. Simply access your media from Blackmagic Camera’s all clips folder by choosing the Media button to see the thumbnails for each clip you have stored. You can save your media to the files folder on the phone, send it to Blackmagic Cloud Storage via Blackmagic Cloud or manually choose which clips to upload to a project library. You can even sync media from Blackmagic Camera directly into a DaVinci Resolve project so you’re ready to edit and color grade!
