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.
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)
@@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
@@Attya-y2y 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
@@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
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.
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 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.
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.
@@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
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??
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.
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.
@michaelbell75 I’m facing an issue. There are 2 options record lut to clip and display lut. If i dont enable record lut to clip, it displays lut only after recording is complete and when i export it to files it gets exported without lut. And if i enable record lut to clip, it record lut to clip but also after recording it again apply a lut making it unpleasant and overly graded, do you have any idea
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
The iso apply for 17mm and the 13mm lens ? I think 1250 ISO is to much for the 13mm wide angle lens, what iso would you recommend for that lense? Thanks
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!
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?
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.
What external ssd do you recommend? I am having troubles trying to figure the best way to get footage from my iPhone to my pc without uploading via WiFi or anything cloud, I want to transfer direct.
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
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
I am an artist and want to record my ipad from above while drawing. Do the same settings apply? It looks rather strange and there are lines everywhere, probably because the exposure is high since the ipad is a white shiny screen. All colors look super washed out with the apple log.
Hi Matt, I am a big fan of the blackmagic camera, but I am unable to get the correct exposure with false color, it is always 1.5 stops too dark, can you write a review about this. thank you in advance.
@@bornufree If you have to choose, because of overexposure, isn't it better to just lower the ISO than up the shutter speed? Lots of people seem to say that 1250 is way too high in most situations
@@Attya-y2y ISO has a lower limit say ISO 64 which won’t save you. 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
So, Good video by the way. I dont have a 15 pro only a 13 pro iphone so no apple log. but if i record like you say and i lock the shutter speed yes the iso stays locked but i have found that in the settings as mentioned you are able to adjust the iso by selecting the exposure button (round circle with + / _ ), the bracket control i guess. I understand the part that to get the best hDR you want to have the iso set high but would this not cause a lot of grain. hope it makes sense what im asking thank you
Thanks for this detailed video. I bought the Moment filter adapter for the iPhone 15 Pro for filters with a 67mm thread. Perfect since most of my ND filters are 67mm.
hey Matt thanks for this awesome video, see im trying to learn how i can color match different logs with differe codecs meaning i want to have a cohesive color when using, slog 3, apple log, insta360 log and D-log from drone, so In this video are you applying a rec 709 convert lut or do use use the internal log to rec 709 convertion of Premiere pro?...hope to hear from you, thank you for your helpful content, perhaps you could do a video of how to color match a collection of footage with different logs and codecs
Matt, thank you so much for the instructional vids. they are great. Can you tell me approximately how many hours of video would fit on 1T SSD if setting at HEVC
Learned filmmaking decades ago . Trying out youtube now just for a reason to make content and be better day to day. My viewers waiting for a camera test and last time when went to the Alpens to get some epic shot took my big ND with me. Almost scratched them just like hold them in front of my 15 pro max. Thanks for the PolerPro link! I really appreciate it I think rig out a phone is stu**id but for hiking in the sommer time. Worth it for me with this case! BTW good tutorial like everytime!
Should you still use 1250 in a lower light situation? I filmed something recently in 4k 30 log, in a dark room with just a ring light illuminating my subject, with my iso around 450 and it came out way over exposed. If it's more of a night situation where should you put the iso?
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?
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
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?
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
Absolute great video!!! Can it be that Apple Log is no longer in the app? It seems I can only choose between Re.709 -Rec.2020-HDR and P3 D65.... What am I missing here?
The only downside of H.265 is that it plays slow in editor apps. I work in DaVinci Resolve and what I do is grade the shot first. Then when I want to play it back, I set the Timeline Resolution to Half Resolution and it plays back at 24fps. If you don't have Resolve, I would think you would have a similar choice in the editing app you use.
What an awesome video ... is there any way to use "LOG" (not Apple Prores LOG) on the iPhone 14 Pro ? I think that the "Moments" Camera App allows to apply a LOG color profile but not sure ...
I am not sure if you want to try this. But I really love your video as always😊 can you make a tutorial to have a best settings for food video.. please!!
Can you talk about the audio settings? Whenever I export the videos from the blackmagic cam app to my premiere pro, the audio and video are not synced.
Matt, hoping you can help me brainstorm a solution. I'd like to use my iPhone 16 as a camera for a video podcast etc. To do that, I need to be able to use my iPhone 16 and the BlackMagic Camera App as a webcam in order to record video directly on the Mac or through Riverside app/web client etc. If I plug usb-c to usb-c it only works for the regular video app and not BM. I am also using a usb-c audio interface to record audio. Any help/suggestions/brainstorms is GREATLY appreciated!
Hey Matt- I tried to use your coupon code for the luts package and it says it is invalid so can you check into that?! I was thinking about buy one of them.
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
PS: I respect your work but people are looking into this software because it's free, the competitor is selling their product for 39$/year and you are selling the luts for 140$. It's too much for luts man, maybe make a package just for iphone 15 pro users, or maybe just one natural lut and sell it for a lot less. Again I respect your work but this is not the audience for that price.
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
@@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
Cool to know! I have a question. When I shoot with the above setting and I import my files to da Vinci and apply color transform. Do I choose input color space rec. 2020 Input gamma apple log Output color space : rec.709 Out put gamma rec.709 Or do I change something there?
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?
Apple notice:“* 4K/120 fps, only available on iPhone 16 Pro models, using an external storage device that supports at least 440MB/s, with a maximum power consumption of 4.5W” Maybe the maximum power of your SSD is over 4.5W, you need a hub and power bank.
Thanks for your video very informative. I do have a question there’s no Apple log in my app is it because I have an iPhone14 pro max instead of the 15? And what do I choose since I don’t have Apple log.
Excelllent information. Please expand in the next. video on how to expose using false color with and without a LUT loaded in the app. No one has any info on this yet.
Matt I am very new to video recording. I am going to create how to videos (online training videos) inside and some outside you mentioned in this video that you can almost just get as good quality with the stock camera settings. Could I use this for my online training video suite without having to use LUTS and Davinci etc...I don't mind hooking up a external HD...thanks Matt and great video.
Thanks!
Even with 6-9 VND at 1250 iso 4K 30p you still overexpose in sunlight. What to do? Thanks for the video Matt
Hey! You’ll want to lower the ISO then. Even with less dynamic range it’s the best option
@@whoismatt makes sense, even at the lowest iso Apple log is lovely
for youtube videos should i use 24 fps or 30 fps ? you seem to have a preference for 24

Matt, thank you so much for the instructional vids. they are great. Can you tell me approximately how many hours of video would fit on 1T SSD if setting at HEVC
Learned filmmaking decades ago . Trying out youtube now just for a reason to make content and be better day to day. My viewers waiting for a camera test and last time when went to the Alpens to get some epic shot took my big ND with me. Almost scratched them just like hold them in front of my 15 pro max. Thanks for the PolerPro link! I really appreciate it
I think rig out a phone is stu**id but for hiking in the sommer time. Worth it for me with this case!
BTW good tutorial like everytime!
Should you still use 1250 in a lower light situation? I filmed something recently in 4k 30 log, in a dark room with just a ring light illuminating my subject, with my iso around 450 and it came out way over exposed. If it's more of a night situation where should you put the iso?
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?
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
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 ?
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?
I was also wondering. Have you figured this out yet?
Late to the party great video. I have the Google Pixel 8 Pro and was wondering will you be doing another video for the android model?
How do I measure my exposure once my ND filter is on? Do I still need to expose 1 stop under/to the right?
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
apple log isn't an option for me on my app, what is a 2nd best option you would recommend
Absolute great video!!!
Can it be that Apple Log is no longer in the app? It seems I can only choose between Re.709 -Rec.2020-HDR and P3 D65.... What am I missing here?
Oh maybe the iPhone 14 ... 😕
Another informative video Matt as always
Will have to give the H.265 a try. Thanks for the insight Matt
The only downside of H.265 is that it plays slow in editor apps. I work in DaVinci Resolve and what I do is grade the shot first. Then when I want to play it back, I set the Timeline Resolution to Half Resolution and it plays back at 24fps. If you don't have Resolve, I would think you would have a similar choice in the editing app you use.
@@AllThingsFilm1 will have to check, using final cut pro,
@@AllThingsFilm1does it work fine in premier if you know?
What an awesome video ... is there any way to use "LOG" (not Apple Prores LOG) on the iPhone 14 Pro ? I think that the "Moments" Camera App allows to apply a LOG color profile but not sure ...
I have the same problem
Log is only available when in prores
how many stops you use on the nd filter with your settings here in this vid
If the Appel Log option doesn't appear on my iPhone since it's a 13 Pro, which one do I select? Thank you for the video
Can we record in log at 120 fps?
I'm wondering if there is any camera app for the iPhone that give us the boke like dslr or big camers?
plz let me know...
I am not sure if you want to try this. But I really love your video as always😊 can you make a tutorial to have a best settings for food video.. please!!
I have a iPhone 14 Pro so apple log isn’t an option for color space. What is the second best option?
What's the recommended shutter speed if it'll be 30 FPS?
1/60 go in settings and change shutter speed to shutter angle then it does it for you no need to worry about it👍
Amazing tips ! Thank you Matt so much 😊
Thanks for the tips
Is the an option to have a display-only LUT for when you’re filming so it doesn’t look so flat?
Yes
Thank you for this! This was the best tutorial!
How can i lock iso?
Can you talk about the audio settings? Whenever I export the videos from the blackmagic cam app to my premiere pro, the audio and video are not synced.
Why didn’t you use a lut in the app?
Wanted to keep things as fast and simple as possible
Mat without a display lut the Log footge is hard to judge..pleae show us how to!@@whoismatt
Matt, hoping you can help me brainstorm a solution. I'd like to use my iPhone 16 as a camera for a video podcast etc. To do that, I need to be able to use my iPhone 16 and the BlackMagic Camera App as a webcam in order to record video directly on the Mac or through Riverside app/web client etc. If I plug usb-c to usb-c it only works for the regular video app and not BM. I am also using a usb-c audio interface to record audio. Any help/suggestions/brainstorms is GREATLY appreciated!
Hey Matt- I tried to use your coupon code for the luts package and it says it is invalid so can you check into that?! I was thinking about buy one of them.
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
Matt put the luts for download for free for us 😁😁😁😁
Good job with this video, it did help a lot!
PS: I respect your work but people are looking into this software because it's free, the competitor is selling their product for 39$/year and you are selling the luts for 140$. It's too much for luts man, maybe make a package just for iphone 15 pro users, or maybe just one natural lut and sell it for a lot less. Again I respect your work but this is not the audience for that price.
OOO So helpful king
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
Hey! You may need to reformat the external SSD. Try using exFAT
@@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
How about the iPhone 14 I don’t get prologue or log with that
Cool to know! I have a question. When I shoot with the above setting and I import my files to da Vinci and apply color transform.
Do I choose input color space rec. 2020
Input gamma apple log
Output color space : rec.709
Out put gamma rec.709
Or do I change something there?
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?
Apple notice:“* 4K/120 fps, only available on iPhone 16 Pro models, using an external storage device that supports at least 440MB/s, with a maximum power consumption of 4.5W”
Maybe the maximum power of your SSD is over 4.5W, you need a hub and power bank.
Hi, thank you for your awesome tutorial. How do I choose ND filters when I use IOS 1250? They have a variety of specifications.
Thanks for your video very informative. I do have a question there’s no Apple log in my app is it because I have an iPhone14 pro max instead of the 15? And what do I choose since I don’t have Apple log.
Apple log was introduced with the 15 pro yes. I don't know about the best settings for the 14 pro though
Excelllent information. Please expand in the next. video on how to expose using false color with and without a LUT loaded in the app. No one has any info on this yet.
On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, for the color space I have rec.709, rec.2020-HDR, and P3 D65. Which one is the best option?
Extremely helpful, thank you.
Matt I am very new to video recording. I am going to create how to videos (online training videos) inside and some outside you mentioned in this video that you can almost just get as good quality with the stock camera settings. Could I use this for my online training video suite without having to use LUTS and Davinci etc...I don't mind hooking up a external HD...thanks Matt and great video.
Yes it should work great 👍
Had no idea the phone’s base ISO was near 1250…because I was definitely cranking it as low as possible to try and get the “best” image possible 😅
