Set the capture device color space to apple log not works.

I set the device format and colorspace to Apple Log and turn off the HDR, why the movie output is still in HDR format rather than ProRes Log?

Full runnable demo here: https://github.com/SpaceGrey/ColorSpaceDemo

session.sessionPreset = .inputPriority
// get the back camera
let deviceDiscoverySession = AVCaptureDevice.DiscoverySession(deviceTypes: [.builtInWideAngleCamera], mediaType: .video, position: .back)
backCamera = deviceDiscoverySession.devices.first!
try! backCamera.lockForConfiguration()
backCamera.automaticallyAdjustsVideoHDREnabled = false
backCamera.isVideoHDREnabled = false
let formats = backCamera.formats
let appleLogFormat = formats.first { format in
format.supportedColorSpaces.contains(.appleLog)
}
print(appleLogFormat!.supportedColorSpaces.contains(.appleLog))
backCamera.activeFormat = appleLogFormat!
backCamera.activeColorSpace = .appleLog
print("colorspace is Apple Log \(backCamera.activeColorSpace == .appleLog)")
backCamera.unlockForConfiguration()
do {
let input = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: backCamera)
session.addInput(input)
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
// add output
output = AVCaptureMovieFileOutput()
session.addOutput(output)
let connection = output.connection(with: .video)!
print(
output.outputSettings(for: connection)
)

Hi SpaceGrey,

Looks like you may have forgotten to set your AVCaptureSession's automaticallyConfiguresCaptureDeviceForWideColor property to NO so it doesn't undo your activeColorSpace setting. Give that a try. You should turn off automaticallyConfiguresCaptureDeviceForWideColor before setting the activeColorSpace property on the device.
