Blackmagic Design has just released the Blackmagic Camera app for Android, which should make Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phone users very happy. The app, released last September for iPhones, offers the advanced features of Blackmagic’s professional cameras to smartphones, offering a range of advanced controls and capabilities. So, let’s take a closer look at what is now available to Android users!
Last September, Blackmagic Design unveiled the Blackmagic Camera app for iPhones, bringing additional capabilities and extra flexibility when filming with an iPhone. Now available for Android users as well, the app includes features like frame rate, shutter angle, white balance, and ISO adjustments. Additionally, the app includes advanced monitoring tools such as focus peaking, zebra patterns, and false color, enhancing its functionality for mobile filmmakers.
You have multiple options for managing your recordings with the Blackmagic Camera app. You can save recordings directly to your phone’s local storage and then export them to an external drive. Alternatively, you can log in to Blackmagic Cloud, select a DaVinci Resolve project before you start recording, and have each recording automatically uploaded and synced with all members of the project. Another option is to manually record to your phone and then upload selected clips to the cloud when you have a connection.
The HUD (Heads-Up Display) allows you to view and adjust key settings at a glance based on your smartphone’s capabilities. Here are just a few!
Adjustments are simple, and most can be done by tapping the corresponding icon on the HUD. For instance, simply tap the ISO setting to control the exposure without the need to navigate any sub-menus. You can get the details for all the settings on the Blackmagic website here.
The Blackmagic Camera app for Android phones is available to download now for free here. Please note that the app is only compatible with select Android phones.
For more information, see Blackmagic Design’s website.

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
