Blackmagic camera wrong storage

Hi, I’m getting wrong remaining storage indication in Blackmagic camera app

[Peter Chamberlain]

Which model iphone?

Yes, I absolutely love the app, but the storage indicator is currently very confusing. I think the 2GB might be indicating the storage available on Blackmagic Cloud Storage Beta (2GB is the default, and my iPhone 13 Pro is showing 2GB in the storage indicator, but has 30GB of iPhone storage open).

Also, I can't find information on the rates for cloud storage. Any info is appreciated!

I’m seeing similarly odd indications. Sometimes it says 2gb, sometimes 1, sometimes 4. Always maxed out.

I’m on a 14 pro with 512 gb.

I'm seeing the same.


Shows 1% 4 GB in the app, but I have 50 GB free.

iPhone 12 Pro Max 256 GB
Model: MGDC3QN/A
iOS 17.0.3

App version: 1.1.00029

I'm having the same problem. iPhone 15 Pro Max has 100GB+ free but the app is showing me I only have 5GB available, and is flashing at me in red.

One weird thing I noticed though... If I opened up the built-in iOS camera and switched to LOG mode, it popped up a notice that I was out of space and asked me if I wanted to "clear up space" or something like that. Even though the phone settings said I had 100GB+ free, I did it anyway and now both the built-in camera and Black Magic camera seem to be reporting the full amount of free space.

Not sure what that was all about...

For now, that's all we can recommend to clear space.

I have the same storage problem on an Iphone 11.
I have about 80GB free according to the IOS, but the Blackmagic app shows I have 6GB.

I wonder if this is related., the size I'm getting on the Blackmagic app seems to correspond with the free space before I added Optimized Storage for my photos.

It will be interesting to hear if anyone else has enabled "Iphone optimization" on the photo settings and also has this problem.

This is what apple has on their site about optimization.

When Optimise Storage is turned on, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud, and, when needed, space-saving copies are stored on your device. And as long as you have enough space in iCloud, you can store as many photos and videos as you want.
