Better Sound, Improved Image Quality \u2013 This Fall Is All About Major Video Upgrades<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Following the recent introduction of manual exposure controls, external microphone support, and stereo sound \u2013 we are very pleased to announce that Dolby Vision HDR Video is now integrated in ProCamera!<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

DOLBY VISION: 10-BIT HDR VIDEO<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]ProCamera v14.1 is available worldwide and it includes support for 10-bit Dolby Vision HDR video recording<\/strong> on iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dolby Vision video standard can record 700 million colors<\/strong> to make your clips more lifelike and vibrant. That’s 60 times more colors<\/strong> than in previous 8-bit video recordings! Until now, big film studios have adopted Dolby Vision HDR by making according adjustments in post production \u2013 the iPhone is the first camera capable of making these adjustments while recording.<\/p>\n

On the latest iPhones, ProCamera will automatically record in HDR for frame rates up to 60fps<\/strong> (iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max) or up to 30fps<\/strong> (iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini).<\/p>\n

We have also added a settings option to exclusively record standard, non-HDR 8-bit video on the latest iPhones (Settings > Video Quality > HDR Video: Off).<\/p>\n

Since HDR video is such a big step for videography, there are some things to consider when adopting it at this point in time: You will need a proper HDR display (like the new iPhones have) to enjoy the increased dynamic range of HDR clips, some editing softwares are not (yet) capable of maintaining the HDR information, and your video portal of choice needs to be able to process HDR video files. YouTuber DailyTekk released an informative recap on the status quo of HDR video:[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator]

STEREO SOUND & EXTERNAL MICROPHONE SUPPORT<\/h3>\n

We think great audio quality is essential for professional videography. That’s why we have introduced stereo sound for video recordings<\/strong> in v14.0 (iPhone Xs and up). When recording clips in stereo, the Audiometer in our video info panel will show two separate audio channels.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]EXTERNAL MICROPHONES<\/strong><\/p>\n

To push the audio quality even further, you may use external microphones<\/strong> when recording videos. We wanted to give you maximum flexibility, and that\u2019s why ProCamera can now connect to a wide range of external\u00a0bluetooth<\/strong>, lightning<\/strong>, and USB<\/strong> microphones \u2013\u00a0\u00a0like Apple AirPods, Instamic Pro, Shure MV88+, Blue Yeti,…[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Using external microphones with ProCamera<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our latest video tutorial shows you how to connect to and film with external microphones in ProCamera:[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator]
