All we want to know in less than 5 mins, great job Saurav.

Apple finally removed that over sharpening effect. Sad that I have no money to afford it

You can also shoot LOG in HEVC at 60P internally if you use the Blackmagic camera app.

Good concise video, what YouTube should be comprised of IMO. I ended up buying a decent M.2 2230 NVMe SSD Enclosure and drive (magnetic) for my iPhone 15 pro. The benefit of log format cannot be understated for that glossy professional finish, team that up with a decent gimble and you can seal the deal on a lot of B roll if not some inspirational A roll too.

Loving these iPhone 15 Pro Max videos!

Well explained. Keep up the good work!

[thecryticdestroyer]

you cant say log vs prores because log works only through prores format.

[wojji]

u weren't that buffed when i last saw your video 😮👏

[peeyushsharma]

Good video. You didn’t touch on when to shoot prores sdr vs hdr vs log. Would love to see that.

[Technobitz]

I was just looking for something like this, i swear there’s always an Indian person who has the most knowledge about the most niche stuff.

Saurav, that's a great video; thank you. I wonder if you outcome would be the same if you had compared ProRes HDR with Apple Log. Looking at my CIE Chromaticity chart in Davinci Resolve I see that the same scene shot in both formats has the ProRes HDR showing quite a bit more range than the Apple Log. I appreciate it will have Apple's sharpening but it would be an interesting comparison for those who saty ina HDR workflow.

Normal consumer doesn’t care, iPhone is best known for Point & Shoot experience 😊

[Pankaj_Patel_Canada]

Excellent video, is both have LOG option (iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro)?

[pradeepdara]

Hello Saurav, been a follower for 2 years, could you please do a camera review for 15 pro

[davedrozario]

Hello Saurav. Thank you for this video. What is the best and most compact SSD storage that is available?
Thanks in advance...🙏🙏🙏

[KevinsSpokenEnglish]

May I know what camera were you using to shoot yourself thank you

[Nogitsune_Yako]

I have no problems editing Raw MAX photos but making LOG video into something nice for eyes is a nightmare.

[VERMAJIDILLIVALE]

When you are recording video from iphone i want to know that is there any overheating issues?....

[jumikaka]

Please stop behaving like American here. Your accent is still Indian. Just be Indian. We are all proud of it.😃

Have you tried recording direct to a fast flash drive without the need for the SSD dangling off the phone?
