★★★★ Durgesh sawale 6/9/2026 v3.3.2.0001
This issue is related to the Blackmagic Camera app on my iQOO 15. The device has three rear camera sensors: - 0.6x Ultra-Wide Camera - 1x Main Camera - 3x Telephoto Camera However, within the Blackmagic Camera app, only the 1x main camera is available. The 0.6x ultra-wide and 3x telephoto cameras do not appear as selectable lenses. I contacted iQOO support regarding this issue, and they confirmed that the camera hardware is functioning correctly. So please fix this issue from your side..
★★★★ Dhilraj Babu 6/6/2026
The app does not properly work on the s25 fe and many other fe variants. There is no 60 FPS recording option on any lens including the 1x. The Lut does not function properly. And sometimes when switching do other lenses this the footage becomes purple or green fully.
★★★★ VenomX ORIZIN 6/4/2026 v3.3.2.0001
i'll give it a one star for now because i just bought the new s26 hoping that everything will go smooth but when i turn on the lut monitoring the whole feed turns black. This should be a bug because i have matched and set all of the settings and the colour space right. I request the blackmagic camera developers to acknowledge this problem because this shouldnt happen in flagship phones!!!

★★★★ Phome Myat Phyo 6/2/2026 v3.2.3.0010
Device: Redmi Turbo 4 Pro OS: HyperOS 3.0.3 (Android 15) App: Blackmagic Camera 3.2.3.0010 Issue: When importing LUT (.cube) files in Blackmagic Camera, the app opens Android's "Private Access" file picker. All folders are visible, but when entering any folder (Downloads, Documents, Internal Storage, etc.), files do not appear or the folder appears empty. Troubleshooting already attempted: - Reinstalled app (Play Store and APK versions) - Granted all available permissions
★★★★ chasewilltin 5/28/2026 v3.3.2.0001
trash. how is this worse than open camera, how do I have less control over everything. I really thought that blackmagic would bring better control over the settings, configurations, and camera sensors, or at least take advantage of the powerful cpu. no, just no. it's like they didn't even try. im disappointed beyond all measures of understanding that I had for this company.

Hi Blackmagic team, I have an issue with my Galaxy S23 FE. When I turn on LUT, my camera goes black, and whatever I record also turns out pitch black.

★★★★★ Cheyenne Evangelista (Cheyarch) 6/24/2026 v3.3.2.0001
Ok 2 stars for now from 4 starts as there's recording issue on my S23 Ultra. The color of the recorded mp4 file is not accurate as shown in the viewfinder. It has so much higher contrast compared to the viewfinder preview. Dunno if it is because of One Ui 8.5 but might change the rating once this is fixed.
★★★★★ M IshaSumi 6/23/2026 v3.3.2.0001
Does not have a good white filter setting. my Samsung camera app does better under dark and bright settings. also, there is a big problem using external microphone settings when using an android phone. Since the latest update, it is flickering and also stops recording. No photo feature that is easily accessible.
★★★★★ Or K 6/20/2026 v3.3.2.0001
The app is great besides two things: 1. Why does the option to change the audio codec missing from my settings menu? when I record it just defaults to aac and audio won't play on other apps. 2. When I open the app it won't default to my last picked profile, so when I choose the "open gate" option it would go back to 16:9 after reopening the app. These two are a deal breaker especially as I can't reliably record audio.
★★★★★ Alex Art 6/20/2026 v3.3.2.0001
при зумировании сильно искажает цвета...считай,что зум не работает вообще. могу поставить на запись,а записи нет. хотя пишет,что есть. так может записывать с искаженным звуком. иногда не сохраняет "записавшееся" видео
★★★★★ Zaid Equbals 6/9/2026 v3.3.2.0001
it's doesn't support 4k,1080p/60fps on iQOO 15, bro it's capable of 60fps or even 120fps but it's only struck on 30fps we cant go even high

★★★★★ Michael Higgins 6/2/2026 v3.2.3.0010
Been using this app on my S23 ultra for quite a while now mainly for cinematic gym content. I know it is a good app on IPhone, but on my S23 ultra it's quite bad. The focus is terrible even with manual focus locked. the ISO even at the highest setting of 3200 is extremely underexposed and the chroma noise in other lens like the tele, super tele and ultra wide are basically unusable unfortunately but some of the features like different aspect ratios, guides, open gate etc are nice to have.
