The Pixel 9 series was recently released and promises one of the best camera experiences in the mobile industry. In recent years, Google has also significantly improved the video quality of its phones, but there are third-party apps that can go even further. With that in mind, the Blackmagic Camera app is gaining support for the Google Pixel 9 series with its latest update.
Blackmagic Camera 1.2 makes the Google Pixel 9 series compatible
Blackmagic Camera first appeared on iOS last year with plenty of options and ways to deliver a “professional” mobile camera experience. In June this year, the Blackmagic Design team launched the app for Android phones. However, the list of compatible devices was quite short and basically consisted of a few premium flagships. However, Blackmagic Camera’s latest update 1.2 adds support for the Pixel 9 series. It seems that the development team didn’t want to wait too long to make their app compatible with Google’s new camera phones.
But what’s so special about the Blackmagic Camera? Basically, it lets you adjust a variety of parameters that aren’t usually available in standard camera apps. The extra features are especially useful for video recording. After all, most standard camera apps only offer a limited number of video parameters to adjust. For example, many apps only offer toggles for resolution, frame rate, and night mode.
Blackmagic Camera lets you adjust shutter angle, white balance, ISO, shutter speed, exposure and more. It also supports features like LUT, HDMI output monitoring, SSD recording, exposure histograms and audio meters.
The update also brings bug fixes and stability improvements.
The Blackmagic Camera 1.2 update also includes a number of bug fixes. The Threads post mentions “improved stability when playing clips in the media window” and “correct clip alignment for front-facing mirror cameras.” There are also fixes for screen size detection issues on the OnePlus 12, as well as stability with Xiaomi 14 devices. Finally, the update fixes an “issue with duplicate clips appearing after recording.”
