Blackmagic camera app launched for Android, bringing pro-level video recording controls. The brand-new application is available for select flagship phones from brands including Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy.

Based on the same operating system as Blackmagic Design’s award-winning digital film cameras, these professional features give Android content creators the same tools used in feature films, television, and documentaries.

Blackmagic Camera app brings pro-level video recording controls. It’s designed to offer granular manual controls for videography. It also shows status and record parameters, histogram, focus peaking, levels, and frame guides.

The press release notes that Blackmagic app can record in H.264 and H.265 formats. The best part, it allows you to record 16:9 video even when your Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy smartphone is being held vertically.

Available on Google Play Store, Blackmagic is currently available for free. At present, Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones are only officially compatible to run the pro-level videography application.
