Overview of the Black Magic Pocket 4K

This Pocket Cinema 4K Camera from BlackMagic Design is a professional cinema camera that can shoot 4K (4096 x 2160 DCI) footage at up to 75 fps in a variety of codecs with a 4/3″ sensor. Some of the BlackMagic design codecs available with this camera include Blackmagic Raw and ProRes 422. With the 6.6 update, the BMPCC 4K now offers up to 80 fps in a 2.8K raw mode for 4:3 anamorphic and up to 75 fps in a 4K raw mode in 2.4:1 widescreen. A 2x de-squeeze preview is available for 4:3 recording as well as a 1.33x de-squeeze option.

Slow-motion shooting is possible in 2.6K raw for Super16 lenses and in cropped Full HD at rates of up to 120 fps. Another plus with the 6.6 update is easier operation with support for the Pocket Battery Grip and a built-in horizon level function as well as support for additional languages, USB PTP control, customizable frame guides, an up to 8x pinch-to-zoom function, the ability to embed custom LUTs as metadata in Blackmagic Raw, and more.

With a Micro Four Thirds lens mount, this camera is able to accomodate the original, lightweight Pocket Cinema Camera lenses, and can be used with PL, C, EF, and other lenses with the use of separately available adapters. A dual-native ISO up to 25,600 is featured for low-light capture, and 13 stops of dynamic range provide rich HDR images.
