The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K features a 4/3" sensor for capturing up to 4096 x 2160 DCI 4K images at rates up to 75 fps in a variety of codecs including Blackmagic Raw at several bit rates and various ProRes 422 options. 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 rates up to 120 fps are available in 2.6K raw for Super16 lenses and in cropped Full HD. The 6.6 update makes operating easier with support for the Pocket Battery Grip and a built-in horizon level function. Further 6.6 update features include 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.

The Micro Four Thirds lens mount accommodates 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.

Record using the internal CFast 2.0 and SD/UHS-II card slots or employ the USB Type-C output for capturing longer clips to an external drive. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's 5" touchscreen LCD reduces the need for an external, onboard monitor, while a full-sized HDMI port enables you to output a signal to a larger display. The menu and interface are the same as the ones found on the URSA Mini camera, and 3D LUTs can be applied for monitoring or baking in your look when you're ready to commit.

Audio features include a mini-XLR input with phantom power for pro-style mics, a 3.5mm jack, and an internal stereo mic. Additional features include the same Blackmagic OS as the URSA Mini and Bluetooth remote control. A license key for DaVinci Resolve Studio is included for versatile post-production control. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's carbon fiber composite build provides lightweight strength and durability, and power options include running off the included Canon LP-E6 type battery or the included power supply.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. In looking at the numerous announcement videos and interviews from NAB 2018 I never did hear why there is a screw hole on top of the camera. What is the purpose of this? Why not a cold or hot shoe? Just curious.

A: The hole is designed to be able to mount third party accessories such as a cold shoe, articulating arm for an additional monitor, etc.

Q: 2. Does it support AES3 over the mini-XLR like the Ursa Mini Pro does?

A: No, it does not.

Q: 3. Can we use the BlackMagic SpeedBooster from the original pocket camera?

A: While it will still be mechanically compatible, the BMPCC Speedbooster is for a specific sensor size. Since the sensor in this camera is bigger than the Pocket CinemaCamera, it will not be optically compatible and vignetting will occur.

Q: 4. What is the battery life with the LP-E6? Or alternatively, how many watts does it consume?

A: On average it will be about an hour based on factors of recording status and screen brightness.

Q: 5. Which is better for film,A7III or BMDPCC4K?

A: neither use film, they are DIGITAL

Q: 6. Most of us who dedicate ourselves to video, we have several EF frame lenses. My question is, there are 2 types of EF lens adapters to M4 / 3. One that everyone uses for the GH5 and another that is designed for the BM Pocket. This last adapter of Metabones is totally compatible with the camera for being 4k or even there is not a perfectly compatible adapter for this camera? And my other query is that a 14mm and a 24mm in how much varies the focal length with the adapter?Thank you

A: Since the camera hasn't been released yet, we don't know if those adapters will work with this camera. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a 1.9 crop factor when compared to a full frame sensor which would make a 14mm lens 26mm and a 25mm lens a 46mm.

Q: 7. Will there be a crop function in 4K/UHD to Super 16 size so we can use our C-Mount lenses??

A: Hmmm my answer was deleted I see...

Q: 8. When shooting in slower 1080p rates, can the camera downsample from 4k internally and without line skipping?

A: Yes. In HD, you can downsample from 4K internally without line skipping. This is similar to the URSA Mini Pros.

Q: 9. Can regular Canon EF lenses be used with this camera?

A: Through some MFT to EF adapter.

Q: 10. WHAT DOES DUAL NATIVE ISO MEAN, AND WHICH ISOS APPLY TO THIS CAMERA?

A: The Pocket Cinema Camera has two native ISO settings, 400 for normal light conditions and 3200 for low light conditions up to 25,600.
