A couple feature requests for the Blackmagic Camera App after using it for a while on my iPhone 15 Pro Max:
1. The ability to burn in the LUT when saving files to the camera roll or sharing to other apps. I would love to be able to shoot in Apple Log so I can grade a file as I please later on down the line, but have the ability to export or save a clip with my chosen LUT burned in so I can also post to social media or share a video with my friends or family right away without having to load it into a computer, grade, export, etc. Videos from the BM Camera app look so much better with my custom LUT burned in then what comes out of the default iOS camera app, but I still want to have the option to save the files in a log-encoded space for grading in the future.
2. I would like an option to ensure tapping on the screen only affects my focus and no other exposure or white balance controls. Maybe a toggle switch or option in settings to set tapping on the image to only adjust focus, or to adjust focus + exposure. I find the focus slider to be very unintuitive for pulling or adjust focus on the fly, but I also don't want to have to constantly lock and unlock my exposure settings in order to just set the focus where I want it. Usually I operate the app hoping that it gets the focus right (which it usually does) but sometimes I want to override which usually makes a mess of my chosen exposure settings.
