Overview
- Blackmagic Design released version 3.3 on Thursday as a free App Store update for the Blackmagic Camera app.
- The new Apple Watch companion shows a live viewfinder and timecode and lets users start or stop recording, switch lenses with the Digital Crown, and tweak key settings over Wi‑Fi.
- With the Blackmagic Camera ProDock connected to an ATEM Mini switcher, the iPhone now supports tally lights, full camera control over HDMI, remote focus and zoom, and live color correction.
- The update adds full‑screen portrait HDMI output for vertical video, ProRes RAW stabilization on iOS 26.1 or later, and support for Blackmagic Focus and Zoom Demands, which are physical tripod‑mounted controls.
- The move shifts the app toward professional broadcast workflows where the iPhone can act as a studio camera when paired with Blackmagic gear, while still giving solo shooters cleaner remote control for tripod or vlogging setups.
