Perhaps the single most accessible entry point for those looking to shoot high-quality, cinematic videos these days is with the very capable camera in their pocket. While we’d all love to be shooting on ARRI ALEXAs or Blackmagic Design URSA Cine 17Ks, for many, an iPhone might be their best, if not only, option.

If you are interested in learning the skills to be a shooter with higher-end cameras later, though, the Blackmagic Camera app is actually a great place to start, as it’s a good entry into cinematic shooting. If you haven’t tried it yet, the Blackmagic Camera app (now available for both iOS and Android) offers a number of new features and workflows worth exploring.

Here’s the latest you need to know about using Blackmagic Camera for iOS version 3.3.

Blackmagic Camera for iOS Latest Workflow

As we’ve covered as they’ve been announced, there have been many new updates for Blackmagic Camera for iOS over the past few months. And while it’s important to stay up to date on the latest software for performance's sake, it can be easy to forget to update.

If you haven’t checked out the latest Blackmagic Camera for iOS update (version 3.3), you absolutely should. Or, if you want some info right now, you can check out this video that goes over the newest features, which cover added support for camera control and monitoring with Apple Watch when using the companion app.

The video, put out by the Blackmagic Design team, also covers the added support for ATEM camera control and for using Blackmagic Zoom and Focus Demands when connected to Blackmagic Camera ProDock.

This last update also added support for full-screen portrait mode, HDMI output, and front camera support for portrait and landscape orientations without rotation on iPhone 17. Plus, for ATEM camera control and Blackmagic Zoom and Focus Demand support, users can also download the latest Blackmagic Camera ProDock update and Blackmagic Camera 10.0.2 from the support page here.

The biggest selling point for Blackmagic's iOS (and Android) apps is that they are free to download, install, update, and use. If you’d like to find out more, you can head to the company's website here.
