Stop guessing. Get device-specific camera settings that actually work — with step-by-step screenshots and free cinematic LUTs.
Directors shoot feature films on iPhone. Musicians record videos. Documentarians travel the world with a single phone in their pocket — and come back with footage that makes it to festivals.
This became possible because of one thing: the right settings. The same iPhone in two people's hands produces completely different results. The difference isn't the hardware. The difference is how you configured it.

iPhone XS and newer — all models covered
Blackmagic Camera is a free professional camera app for iPhone made by Blackmagic Design (the creators of DaVinci Resolve). It gives you manual control over ISO, shutter angle, white balance, codec, and supports ProRes and BRAW recording on supported models.
Every iPhone uses a different chip (A12 through A19 Pro) with a unique camera system, sensor size, and image processor. ISO range, noise floor, available codecs, and dynamic range all differ between models. Generic settings won't perform optimally on your specific device.
Yes. For iPhones that support ProRes (15 Pro, 16, 17 series), the guide includes specific settings for ProRes, BRAW, and H.265. For older models it covers H.265 and BRAW optimized for that specific chip.
LUTs (Look-Up Tables) are color grading presets that transform flat or log footage into a finished cinematic look. The guide includes access to a free LUT pack from our Telegram channel, with step-by-step instructions to import and apply them inside Blackmagic Camera as a monitor LUT while shooting.
One-time payment of $4.99. You receive a permanent access link by email. No subscription, no account required. The link works on any device and browser, forever.
All iPhones from XS (A12) through 17 Pro Max (A19 Pro) — 30 models across 8 chip groups. If you have an iPhone XS or newer, there's a guide for your exact model.
