Apple has released Final Cut Camera 2.4 as a free update with a redesigned interface and new controls for more demanding mobile shoots. Its headline feature is support for variable aperture on iPhone 18 Pro models.
On compatible devices, creators can adjust aperture directly, while new aperture- and shutter-priority modes help preserve a chosen look as lighting changes. Faster access to shutter angle, ISO, and white balance, together with false color, clipping warnings, and adjustable focus peaking, makes the app more practical in controlled production environments.
Regular video recording, including ProRes and Apple Log, can now use Cinematic effects that remain adjustable later in Final Cut Pro. This matters for creators who want more post-production flexibility without committing the entire shoot to a separate camera mode.
With iOS 27, the app also gains video scopes such as RGB Parade and a histogram, clean SDI output, and genlock-offset controls. Some capabilities depend on iPhone 18 Pro hardware, while the broader set of professional controls improves Final Cut Camera across other supported devices.
