In this video, Mike from Mastering Videography demonstrates the benefits of using camera apps to turn your smartphone into a professional camera. Mike specifically uses the app called Moment, which provides access to various features such as sound meters, color profiles, resolution frames per second, exposure, autofocus, and white balance. By using these features, videographers can shoot and film with their smartphones much easier, resulting in great results.

Mike emphasizes that he won't go into too much detail about each feature because it is covered extensively in their Mastering Videography course, which has 16 modules and almost 10 hours of material. He begins by showcasing the left and right audio channels, color profiles, and resolution settings. He also demonstrates how to adjust the shutter speed, ISO, exposure value, and autofocus manually.

One of the app's most notable features is the automatic white balance, which sets the parameters for various lighting scenarios such as bright sunlight, dark areas, fluorescent lights, and house lights. However, videographers can also adjust the white balance to produce a specific cast on their images.

Overall, using camera apps can significantly change the way videographers shoot and film. By turning their smartphones into fully manual cameras, videographers can experiment with various settings and produce high-quality videos.
