Android Blackmagic Camera App Bugs Thread

PostWed Jun 26, 2024 11:58 pm

Here's a thread for people to post bugs about the Android version of the new Blackmagic Camera app. I'll go first:

One thing I've noticed while using the app (Pixel 7) is that the Auto WB really likes to be on. If it's off, then I rotate my phone, it turns itself back on. Same with going into a menu and then back out to the camera, it turns on. Even with the lock button selected, if I go into the settings and go back or rotate phone, it'll have a little lock next to the WB value, but it will really be in Auto mode until I touch the lock again. It would be nice if the default option was just locked at 5600 or whatever the last use was.

Another thing I noticed: if using the touch on the viewfinder to touch to expose, that new exposure is not represented in the camera setting values. I wouldn't want it to turn on auto exposure, but just adjusting the settings to reflect the viewfinder.

Hello,


also wb value is not saved with presets. Is there a list of what values are saved in a preset?

The value of manual focus is opposite of what it should be. 0.0 is infitity and 9.5 is close. It works but it is a little confusing :)

Feature request: the zoom functionality is more like when you take a picture. You adjust the zoom value and take a picture.
But doing video, you may want to do a slow and soft zooming in or out. That is not possible right now. I would therefore ask if it is possible to take something like a zoom "slider" under review (zoom rocker functionality)?

Kind regards
Alexander
