Remote Control Blackmagic Camera App for iOS

PostThu Feb 22, 2024 5:48 pm

While we wait for BMD to one day add the Camera Control REST API from its professional line of cameras to the Blackmagic Camera app for iOS, we can use this method to remotely set many of the settings on the app using Shortcuts and Personal Automations.

The setup process is a bit involved, but it is a reliable way to change settings on the app without having to touch the physical device.

Settings that are adjustable include:

- Lens
- Focus (though bug in app prevents setting Auto Focus from working)
- FPS
- ISO
- Shutter Speed
- White Balance
- Tint
- Exposure
- Zoom

- Codec

Regarding the remote control of BMD cameras - you could try the Bluetooth+ app.
