Blackmagic Design recently announced the Blackmagic Camera app for Android devices. Built on the same operating system as Blackmagic’s digital film cameras, the Blackmagic Camera app equips Android users with a suite of professional tools. It also supports Blackmagic Cloud, which enables seamless collaboration with editors and colorists around the world.
The app was previously compatible with Pixel and Galaxy devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, S23 Ultra or Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, S24 Ultra, and Google Pixel 7, 7a, 7 Pro, 8 and 8 Pro.
Blackmagic Camera for Android 1.1 is now available on Google Play
Now the latest news is that the app is now available for Xiaomi and OnePlus users as well. Today, Blackmagic Design has officially announced the release of the Blackmagic Camera 1.1 version update for Android. Now more devices including the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 14, OnePlus 11, OnePlus 12, Samsung Galaxy S21 and S22, Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a will support the app.
The new version will allow users to view what they are shooting on a larger screen, which should help them adjust the focus and exposure accurately. It can also be connected to multiple monitors so that everyone on the set can view the recording. The update also adds follow focus control to the camera so that users can change the focus point of the lens during continuous shooting, which can gradually pull the focus between 3 preset focus points in the foreground or background. Thus it can help draw the viewer’s attention to different elements of the picture.
This new update also supports syncing media directly to Blackmagic Cloud Organizations accounts, allowing customers to choose to sync media to their personal account or their company’s Organizations account when logging in, speeding up workflow. It also lets the user dim the screen while recording, apply noise reduction or sharpening to captured images, and use 3D LUTs during recording
Other than that, it lets the user adjust various parameters such as frame rate, shutter angle, white balance, and ISO easily.
