Introduction to Blackmagic camera (research)

In order to record, I will need a camera app other than the default one that are on phones. So I managed to find one that was heavily recommended called Blackmagic Camera. When opened, it instantly came up with the frame and lots of UI included. 


By the icons below the frame is shown to be settings of how I want to change the view of the camera. The camera is default at 30 fps, but it can be changed to 60 fps max. The difference is very noticeable with the 30 fps looking like a normal camera with some choppiness, 60 fps is very smooth and looks like its a faster camera to use. I would rather use 30 fps instead of 60 fps to not make the recording too smooth which would look very trippy. It also provides filters itself, I wouldn't need to use filters in our scene but making it more visually appealing and better can be changed by using a filter. It also tells the changing WB which means white balance, the number keeps on changing in which it can tell me how much white light is being shown.

I took some pictures with the camera to test its overall quality and it impresses me how much other settings there are in a camera that aren't in the base camera app. I learned the overall basics of the camera and now it was time to use it for capturing our scene.
