No more over-exposed and over-saturated videos. This app allows you to record 4K and HD videos with a flat, log color profile, which can be used in color correction software (not included in the app). It allows you to get more control over color tones and better exposure. It records in a wider dynamic range with flattened colors, so that you have maximum control in post-production. Do the colors look grey and washed out? That’s exactly the intention. The videos are captured with a log profile, meaning low contrast, low saturation and extended exposure range.Β  You get up to 2 stops of extra dynamic range, preserving highlights and shadows ! Recorded videos must be corrected with editing tools, such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, AVID Media Composer and Final Cut Pro. In grading, you should boost saturation, add contrast and lift the gamma curve. You can also use LUTs (for Sony, Panasonic, RED, Canon or Blackmagic), to see which preset color correction looks best on your shots. Record in 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. Select 4K or HD resolution. Choose from 5 flat color profiles: OFF, CINE, M-LOG1, M-LOG2, M-LOG3 Focus, ISO and exposure are automatically adjusted.

E-Log is short for Easy Log: recording in Log, made easy. Your iPhone can already record in Apple Log. E-Log is what makes it usable. Log keeps all the light and colour the sensor can see, but it looks flat and washed out until someone grades it. E-Log puts the grade on the monitor, live, while you shoot. You frame what you'll actually publish, not a grey approximation of it. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ See your look live. Turn on the eye and the monitor shows the finished image. The file stays raw. β€’ Or bake it in. One button and the clip comes out already graded, ready to publish with no edit. β€’ Both, on the same take. Preview one look, export with another. Nothing is decided at the moment you press record. β€’ Bring your own looks. Import any .cube LUT built for Apple Log. FULL CONTROL, ONLY WHEN YOU WANT IT Shutter, ISO and white balance in auto, manual, or any mix of the two. Shutter angle or speed. Automatic limits so auto never picks something you'd never pick. WHAT YOU NEED TO JUDGE AN EXPOSURE Waveform and histogram Β· zebra on highlights or midtones Β· focus peaking Β· framing guides for 9:16, 2.39 and more Β· horizon level. None of them is ever recorded into the file. YOUR CLIPS STAY YOURS Takes live in the app's own library, not in Photos: they are 10-bit files and the system would compress them. Export whatever you want, wherever you want, in Log or already graded. REQUIREMENTS E-Log needs an iPhone that can record in Apple Log (iPhone 15 Pro and later Pro models). The app checks your device at first launch and tells you straight away if it can't. SUBSCRIPTION E-Log is a subscription. Yearly and Monthly include exactly the same features (recording in Log, looks on the monitor, and exporting clips with the look baked in), and Yearly comes with a free trial. Cancel anytime in one tap. Downloading the .cube files themselves, to take your looks into DaVinci, Premiere or another camera, is a separate one-time purchase available to any subscriber once the free trial has ended.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flat Color Camera at none against E's 3. Flat Color Camera also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). E's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 74 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
