Over the past year, I have started using my mobile phone as a primary video camera. At CES in 2016, I actually used it as my main method of capturing interviews with vendors. While the native camera interface is good, there are third party apps that really enhance your experience and make it more like a professional-grade video camera. One such app is FiLMiC Pro.
FiLMic Pro creates a broadcast quality HD video camera out of your smartphone. Even though many smartphones feature at least 1080P HD video recording at 60 fps, you simply don’t have the same control over the camera and its settings as you would with a ‘true’ video camera. FiLMiC Pro gives you that control back. Some of the features it opens up includes variable speed zoom, audio gain control, and variable frame rates (up to 240 fps). You also have full manual control over focus, exposure, ISO, shutter speed, tint and color temperature right on your smartphone.

This week, developer FiLMiC Inc released an update for the app that brings it to version 6.0. It is a free upgrade for existing users but will cost the regular $14.99 if you have never downloaded the app. The newest features include (*indicates availability with iPhone 7/7 Plus only):
Now, one thing I really want to point out is that if you aren’t experienced with a DSLR or any camera that has an onscreen interface, FiLMiC Pro will be a bit foreign to you at first. When you first open the app you will be met with the camera display along with various controls on the screen. I would recommend taking the time to really learn what all of the controls do and what they do for your video. Not too long ago, I upgraded my DSLR to a Canon D70, which was a lot more advanced that the camera I had before. When you move from a point-and-shoot camera to a DSLR, it’s an entirely different world. The same is true when you are using a smartphone camera and you add FiLMiC Pro.
So, getting started you will see a screen like what is pictured above. There are a lot of icons to learn about, but one thing that is really handy is the layout. FiLMiC Pro really does this right and makes it so the options you have aren’t intruding into the main screen of the camera where your video is.
Under the Settings menu you will see everything available to you —
Aside from the main settings menu, there are also a few other features on the on-screen display. Those features include color correction, zebra stripes, clipping, false color, and focus peaking. All of these little details add up to one great big feature package that make FiLMiC Pro so special and so valuable to mobile filmmakers.
If you already have the knowledge about how to use controls like ISO and frame rate, the interface will be pretty easy for you to use. As I mentioned above, if don’t already have that experience, then I recommend spending some time with the FiLMiC Pro interface to see how all these features can effect your videos. FiLMic Pro can really make your mobile videos spectacular and it gives you the option to have a professional-grade camera within your hands.
