IOS Camera app - switching lens issue

PostThu Oct 24, 2024 1:40 am

Hi,

I’m enjoying the Blackmagic camera app on IOS (iPhone 15 Pro) however i have this
annoying issue when switching lens during filming some action sports ( from 1x to 2x or 3x lens) the footage is very choppy (like loosing frames or something). The default IOS camera fim Apple died not have this issue, the transition from one lens to another is smooth.

Can we please borrow the same behavior to Blackmagic camera app as well, please?

I've added a video to show the difference between IOS Apple native camera vs IOS Blackmagic app camera.

When switching from one lens to another, the transition is smooth on the Apple native camera app, but on the Blackmagic camera app is very choppy (loosing details between the swtich, especially when filming some moving objects).

Guys, could you please fix this transition from one lens to another it's really irritating when filming with different zoom lens, especially when you try to catch some moving objects you're loosing some frame actions.

Could you please make the transition smooth, similar with the the one native camera from iphone has, please!
