Improved Camera Features: ProRes and Log profiles

Apple has introduced ProRes and log profiles for professionals to shoot high-quality video on the iPhone. The ProRes codec allows for better image quality and color grading in post-production. However, the file sizes can be massive, making it less practical for everyday use. Log profiles provide more dynamic range and flexibility in capturing footage, but they require additional processing to bring out the best results. Currently, the workflows and storage requirements for ProRes and log profiles may be challenging for the average user, but advancements in technology and software may make it more accessible in the future.
