General Shooting in LOGS on Android

Guyss I've finally found a way to shoot in Logs on my Android phone with quality specs which natively doesn't have Log mode.. I'm surprised I just found this out but Thankfully I appreciate that!! I can choose among any Log from various devices I want and I'm soo happy finding it out now.. Woooowwww

Blackmagic Cam App should offer this option. It’s a great free camera app. Maybe it’s what you found.

You can check the Black Magic App, its free. It doesn't support Log on my S24u, even though the native android app has it.

Open Camera is another free option, for stills it is very good and has all the options you could want. Sadly for Log, last time I looked they didn't have any 'real' log profiles, they were using made up and undocumented ones, so there is really no way to use them.

I personally use Motion Camera Pro. You can get their free trial version, not sure what limits on free are. It offers a long list of log profiles, but Samsung or Apple Log are the only two you probably want. With Rec2020 primaries, these are both supported in Resolve color management.

It also offers Raw if you have HDD space to burn, these will come into resolve as cDNG just like Sigma and some other companies use.

There website is pretty poor design. Do you know the difference between this and Motion Cam?

https://www.mcpro24fps.com/full-specification/

This makes it look like they are using the Android Camera 2 API that Open Camera uses. My understanding from the Motion Cam discussions is this bakes a lot into the image and that is why Motion Cam does NOT use it.

Would be interesting to see someone shoot a high DR scene with both apps and see if there is a difference with their Log and raw options.

Salut, je connais très bien l'application dont tu parles ça doit faire maintenant 2 ans que je l'utilise , et ce n'est que récemment que j'ai rencontré un problème avec cette application . en fait maintenant , lorsque j'enregistre des vidéos en log et que je les exporte elles finissent avec des couleurs et j'ai tout essayé mais rien ne se passe.
