Overview

• Apple’s app enables the first smartphone ProRes RAW capture on iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, preserving sensor data for flexible grading and exposure adjustments.
• New genlock support provides frame-accurate sync to a reference signal, with a genlock API already supported by Blackmagic Design’s Camera ProDock.
• Open gate recording uses the full sensor at resolutions beyond DCI 4K, allowing extensive reframing, stabilization, and aspect-ratio choices without quality loss.
• Manual Center Stage controls extend to the entire iPhone 17 lineup via the redesigned square front camera, enabling horizontal or vertical capture without rotating the phone.
• Additional tools include Apple Log 2, expanded timecode options, and ProRes recording up to 4K60 from the 200mm telephoto, with availability later this month on iOS 18.6 or later and advanced features limited to iPhone 17 Pro models.
