BEST Blackmagic Camera App Settings For Apple Log With iPhone 15 Pro

[@RylandRussell]

Thanks for the ISO tip Matt, just curious if you happen to have any LUTS available? 😉

[@OskarKivilaan]

Me too, would love to know!

[@david.arnold]

Pretty sure he does not have any LUTs. Otherwise he would have probably mentioned it in the video at some point.

Hi Matt. Im new to black magic app. still learning about video recording etc. can you let me know what settings I should do if I was the film at night??

[@Marchellino]

Can you give tutorial on how to edit apple log footage only on iphone including applying LUT just on the iPhone would be great 🥹💯

[@paulosalazar]

Found this video 9 months after uploaded and it is an amazing explanation on everything I needed. Subscribed and will look forward to more videos from you.

[@michaeldrager]

Fantastic content as usual. But, I must be missing something. I did a test shoot today with full sun outdoors and with these settings on iPhone15 Pro max: ISO/1250, fps/30, shutter/60, fstop/1.8 (fixed), ND filter cranked to max (ND2-ND32 (1-5 Stop). I couldn’t get the exposure low enough. 🤷🏻 I had to lower the ISO to 55

[@denissoldo2868]

im having the same problem, even just shooting indoors with regular ceiling lights on, iso 1250 is way too high although no zebras show up. But trying to make it look normal in post still was a no go. Feel like im missing a step here

[@5ecretcode]

@@denissoldo2868yeah im utterly confused by what he means by this i wish he explained further because ALMOST every other person has different ISO

[@elvandalo_]

I finally found a video that actually gave me the solution to the problem that I was facing and I didn't even knew I had and was having that ISO moving like crazy with no control, the trick to be able to lock it with the shutter, makes this amazing to handle. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@wellintontews3612]

Does this configuration look good on a normal iPhone 15?

[@petersterling5334]

Great Video Matt! The HEVC 265 is an especially Valuable tip!

[@chickenpasta7359]

This is great. I wish Apple or Blackmagic would let us know what the native ISO is for LOG. Its frustrating since this is a pretty important setting when it comes with maximizing your dynamic range

[@gertleroy]

for youtube videos should i use 24 fps or 30 fps ? you seem to have a preference for 24

[@dr.marioiannuzzelli1842]

[@jaymills1720]

Subscribed ! Question(s). Can a 1tb iPhone 15 bypass the need to film with an SSD on the camera body and just off load the 1TB to the SSD when it’s full? And then you’d just need a 1tb iPhone and an attachment for an ND filter and use Blackmagic and internal LUT? If so I’m getting one today!

[@Nata-ch2bk]

If you're filming in HEVC (which a lot of people recommend, the difference in quality with ProRes being barely noticeable), you don't even need 1TB to record on your phone. For ProRes 1TB would help to record on the phone but it would still fill up decently quick so it depends how long you want to film before having to transfer. Also one thing I would consider, although I'm not so sure about that one, is that filling your iPhone memory and then loading it off all the time might deteriorate the iPhone memory in the long run?

[@RodneyGracia]

Hi Matt! Does anything you discuss here change with the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

[@beatboxerjonasz2]

Prores LT is best compromise IMO

[@chrisbogart687]

Thanks a bunch with how to lock the ISO via the locking the shutter. I went out this afternoon and was a happy camper. Yes the only real accessory we need is the VND filter other than the external SSD - I went with the Crucial X10 small and convent to carry. The iPhone 15 Pros with BMC app have been a game changer for me. Thanks for your clear and pertinent video.

[@digitaldevigner4080]

I do not agree with the ISO 1250 advice at all. The iPhone quality really suffers when you raise the ISO. Even if you may not see noise its because the camera uses very aggressive noise reduction which leads to very blotchy details and mush. Yes it lifts the clip point so you get more highlight stops but you destroy the fidelity of the video by doing so. It's much better to shoot under exposed like everyone else is suggesting. Apple log maps a ton of stops below middle gray and only 3 stops over middle gray. By shooting under by just 2 stops we now have 5 stops over middle gray or much closer to other log formats. Some of the best log formats typically only have 6 stops over middle gray. While shooting under is typically not the best choice the way the iPhone and Apple Log work there is a ton of detail in the shadows and it is much cleaner to shoot under vs using ISO 1250. You still get a lot of highlight range if you need it but much cleaner details. Plus one really needs to determine if they really need that many highlight stops of range. Getting 6 stops over middle gray only to crush it down to rec709 is kind of pointless. Log formats are not a one size fits all format. They are made so we can choose what is more important for the shot. Shadow stops or highlight stops. Sort of like how the BMD Pocket cameras work. ISO is used to determine how the stops are mapped under vs over middle gray. Apple Log at lower ISO levels clip sooner in the highlights but thats because more of the stops are mapped in the shadows below middle gray. The details 99% more likely to be seen and have importance to the story. Another reason ISO 1250 is not a good suggestion is because a lot of narrative work tends to be lit to be lower contrast and fit much better within a limited rec709 range. We rarely have details that go over 90% reflectance and just don't need a lot of extra highlight stops. They become pointless and a large throw away portion of the log curve values. Apple Log as it is is well suited for this since it easily covers a normal contrast range for rec709. Shooting at ISO 1250 would not really gain anything extra and what it did gain would likely be thrown out. Dynamic range is nice to have but not at the expense of sacrificing everything else important just to say you have more stops of range. Those stops need to serve a purpose. Finally ISO 55 outdoors in bright sunlight and 24p 1/48th already requires at least 7 stops of ND filtering. If shooting two stops under thats 9 stops of filtering which is a lot. Shooting at ISO 1250 is almost 5 stops more ND filtering needed. Thats at least 12 stops of ND filtering which is an insane amount. Its hard enough finding a decent filter system for the iPhone and a real challenge trying to use 12 stops of filtering.

[@rainer_wolf]

I am not fine with that high iso too. I test it and bad results!

[@ethanbadrazzii]

Whats the best iso?

[@Techno_Rama]

@@rainer_wolf I agree with you both and am finding 1250 extremely noisy with nd filter in my tests. Best to stick to regular iso in my humble opinion, even though I respect Gerald Undone and Matt opinion greatly I have to go with my personal experience.

[@giannobong6778]

High ISO doesn't create noise- low light exposure does. High ISO only illuminates all the noise that was already there because of such low light exposure.

[@sandeepraiphotography2111]

@@Techno_Ramahey, how do you measure if you are over or under exposing? On a camera you have a meter that shows you but on this app I don’t know, esp when shooting in log. Thanks

[@danielaboteroconcha3797]

Hi Matt, I followed your explanation and it's perfect solution, except for one thing: there's a glitch on the data usage storage left, even though I know I have space for 2TB it still shows I have very little left, and keeps giving me a warning that doesn't get fixed even though I transfer and delete the files from my phone. I have consulted with other users and also have this issue, and it's apparently an app's glitch. Have you encountered this/ fund a solution around it?

[@JonniArmani]

Just received the 16 pro today Matt and coming from the iPhone X yes I just said that out loud it’s unreal! 🔥❤️

[@shayrealestatephotography]

FYI, Zebras aren't working great for me and I feel like 85 is a much better number. At 95 I'm over exposing and not getting Zebras to really show up at all.

Hello, are you filming your video face cam with iphone 15 pro max ? If yes, can you give me please your settings exactly blackmagic camera ? Nice video

[@Kpictures_NYC]

Anywhere I shoot, inside or outside it's way too bright at 1/48 shutter with an iso at 1250 ISO unless it's nighttime another isn't any light but with any sort of lighting it's way too bright. Does increasing the shutter speed somehow compromise the dynamic range? I assume the only thing that affects the dynamic range in this example is the ISO and the shutter can be anything above 1/48.

[@realpnthr]

did u find any help im struggling with the same issue right now when i locked my shutter to 180 degree and its just insanely bright in the sun or outside the house what do i do (i dont wanna buy an ND filter)

[@Nata-ch2bk]

@@realpnthr With 1/48 (or 180°) and ISO 1250, I think the only option is the ND filter. If you don't want an ND filter, I would first suggest to get the ISO lower (down to 100 maybe?) and if it's still too bright, boost the shutter speed up to 1/1000 (or more if needed). But of course you will loose the benefits of the 180° shutter speed and higher ISO (that one is debatable though, some people seem to think you don't need such a high ISO). If you want to keep those benefits you need a ND filter to adjust the exposure

[@realpnthr]

@@Nata-ch2bk so its simply about the exposure?

[@realpnthr]

@@Nata-ch2bk bro the ISO is 55 (lowest possible) with shutter at 180 degree its too bright i have to adjust either the shutter or the iso but idk which to keep low or stable and which to adjust

[@Nata-ch2bk]

@@realpnthr If you have ISO at 55 and it's still too bright (which is still highly probable in daylight without a ND), then you have to also up the shutter speed. So i'd put the setting back to the 1/xxx (and not to angle), and try upping it to 1/1000 or even more, up to 1/8000

[@lexxbodylev]

Hi There. How do I shoot in the pure Apple LOG format without HDR? I compared the video from the built-in Apple Log camera app and the Blackmagic app - the difference is significant. The Blackmagic app captures only in Apple LOG HDR format, resulting in intense Tone Mapping for both light and colors. Can you conduct a comparison test yourself! My question is why doesn’t the Blackmagic app include the clean Apple Log format without HDR?

[@gotanlam]

I was also wondering. Have you figured this out yet?

[@benjamindewhurst7597]

I’m kinda taken aback at how confidently wrong you are regarding ISO and codec with regard to dynamic range. All in the name of selling a few LUTs and cheap NDs.

[@Khordmaster]

Yeah I don’t know this stuff for sure but isn’t it true that your ISO should be the lowest it can possibly be as long as you have enough light???

[@Av8rThor]

Actually, I heard that you do want to increase your ISO above the lowest it forces many cameras to work harder and produce a better algorithm as opposed to using a film camera where you would always set it to 100 if possible

[@jerclarkedotorg]

Extremely useful tutorial, thank you! So many out there that don't explain the quirks of exposure in BMC, but you did a really good job. Here's a question: Why do you think there's no "AUTO" option in ISO? I wish I could lock the shutter speed for motion blur, but then have ISO be the wildcard that it uses for auto exposure. I don't see why that couldn't be an option, with an [AUTO] button at the top so you could disable it and go full manual. Maybe there's some expsure-triangle reason why it's not possible that I'm not thinking of... Do you know? Or should we be lobbying BM to update it 😅 (my ND filter and Neewer mounting cage are on their way. Like you say, I don't WANT to rig it up, but it does look like it's simply necessary to use filters, just like it is on all but the most outrageously expensive cinema cameras)

[@islandhomenavigator]

Because apparently Apple doesn't give you control over that. These developers have to develop their own algorithms to sorta fake it. The Dji app does auto iso when I use my gimbal. It's great. I have begged the guy who does the Moment camera to include it and they've been working on it for awhile. Hopefully coming soon. Blackmagic...I have no clue what their plans are.

[@THEAMGVIDEOS]

Won’t ISO 1200+ bring noice?

[@zenseekerEric]

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Especially when using the 13mm lens which has a smaller sensor.

[@TheTatramaco]

Surely fixing your ISO at 1250 means you are going to introduce noise as well exposure issues or does this get sorted by the filters also ?

You know I have the same thought. I shot in a 30% lit room with natural light peeking through the window and I can see a lot of noise in mids and lows. Yes I shot in prores apple log. Could it be the 13mm lens? Do the other lens have less noise?

Hence if you can’t stop the aperture down that is use F16 and above, then other than ND filters you’re stuck with high Shutter speeds Some videographers suggest taking videos of motionless or slow moving objects to reduce the ‘jerkiness’, others slow the footage down in post to minimise the effect No easy solutions hence I use ND filter in wildlife videos during the day but prefer sunrise or sunset without ND

I have one question, which may be a dumb question, but I will ask anyway. Whatever the "tint" value is when you lock your WB, it stays at that number. Do I need to be in a certain lighting situation to lock the WB at say 5500 for the Tint to be correct, or does it not matter? ie: I could lock WB at 5500 indoors where the Tint would be say -17 and when I go outside it will be fine and because it is log this won't matter as I would correct it in post? OR .. should I be going to the situation first ie: outside, lock my WB at 5500 and the tint will be correct at the time of locking? Hope that makes sense .. I just don't want to go out and film a load and find the tiny screws it all up in post ! :) thanks.

do you know why when I take a video with the application when I upload it to my photo gallery The file size is much smaller than that on the application

[@creativeflyfishing998]

With that high iso you need to deal with the added noise in post, simply by doing what the camera already does automatically when you lower the iso. Yes you would get more dynamic range but you have to expose for the highlights and be prepared to crush the blacks to control noise, if I understand Gerald undone correctly.

[@creativeflyfishing998]

Just to clarify, if you don’t expose to the right you will actually end up with more noise than with a lower iso. With min iso you are basically guaranteed 12.8 stops of clean dynamic range, which is still awesome and you don’t have to worry about exposure as much. In fact I get the same image from at least one full stop overexposed and one full stop underexposed when shooting log in high contrast situations like a sunny day so I don’t have to worry too much about getting perfect exposure every time, and this is why I like the 15 pro so much.

[@giannobong6778]

High ISO doesn't create noise- low light does. High ISO just shows you how much noise has been created due to such low light

@@giannobong6778 exactly so what I’m saying is that there’s no point In using an nd filter or faster shutter speed just to be able to use a higher use for higher dynamic range as implied here.

Any tips for shooting log via black magic in high light snowy mountains (I’ll be in Alaska) ? I did just get the polarpro nd case/filter for the 15 pro. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I’m very new to shooting in log

Nd filter and be prepared to still crank the shutter

Hello there, with these settings (HEVC and Apple Log HDR), I can't import the files to DaVinci. It shows only the sound line. Can somebody help me?

Great video!! thank you, it was very helpful. Question: when trying to use the Blackmagic app with the iPhone 15 Pro it will not recognize the Samsung SSD drive I have plugged in can you advise me on this? Thanks Dave J

[@whoismatt]

Hey! You may need to reformat the external SSD. Try using exFAT

[@DavidJonesImages]

@@whoismatt Will do, thanks.

@@whoismatt SSD formatted to exFat, still not working any other suggestions/ ,please Thanks Dave J

@@DavidJonesImages I think it doesn't recognize it automatically like the iPhone camera app does. You have to go in the Black Magic cam settings and choose for the app to record to the SSD, if I am not mistaken
