Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K Memory Card Slot

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera (often simply the Cinema Camera or BMCC) is a digital movie camera developed and manufactured by Blackmagic Design and released on September 4, 2012. The quoted 50-minutes of battery life out of a single charge was very optimistic, with real world results closer to 35-40 mins. In this example, the 6K model was used with EF mount and Atlas Orion 35, 65, and 80mm cinematic lenses. Additionally, there’s no ND filter in the body as found on the likes of the significantly pricier Canon EOS R and C100. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera records using standard open file formats so you don’t have to waste time transcoding media.Youcan even mount the media cards on your computer and start editing directly from them using the included DaVinci Resolve Studiosoftware! The SSD can also be internally formatted, instead of manually removing it and formatting on another platform, into exFAT and HFS+.

A closer look at the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

Best of all, when shooting is complete you can simply move the external disk to your computer and start editing and color correction from the same disk, eliminating filecopying.The key noticeable difference in our experience was that the RAW video we captured was better at managing the highlights than ProRes, so we ended up exposing down a bit more than we usually would. Unlike saturation or midpoint which can make reds redder or yellows more yellow, adjusting tint actually lets you push the colors in differentdirections. In the film dynamic range mode, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera records a very flat image that has a washed-out look. On set, 128 GB Hagiwara and 256GB SanDisk CFast cards were used so it was quick and easy to backup footage between shots.
