So whether you are shooting in bright sunlight or in a very dark environment, you will get splendid images with little noise.

Thanks to the 4th generation colorimetry, you have the most advanced technology for capturing cinematic images.
Compatible with cinema and photograhic lenses
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is the world's most lens compatible camera. You can choose from a wide range of EF lenses. You can use photographic lenses widely available in the market to make creative choices and achieve cinematic quality feature film images. The active lens mount allows adjustment of focus and iris from the buttons on the camera or the touchscreen. For even more flexibility, the Model 6K's EF lens mount can be adapted for PL, C, EF or other lenses.
Wide dynamic range (HDR) for incredible images, the distance between the lightest part and the darkest part of an image is called dynamic range and is measured in stops. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras have an incredible dynamic range of 13 stops, which allows them to preserve more detail in areas of light and shadow than a conventional camera. So you can adjust the exposure for an indoor shot while capturing the details of the outside light coming from the window. Plus, you get even more colors than the DCI-P3 color space used for feature films. And since DaVinci Resolve Studio is included with the camera, you have complete creative freedom during color grading, adjustments for full exposure, and recovery controls.
Formats that facilitate post-production
As the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera records in both standard and open file formats, you won't waste time with transcoding. You'll get files compatible with all post-production software, and you can quickly start posting with DaVinci Resolve Studio or whatever software you want. It is possible to record in 10-bit Apple ProRes in all formats up to 4K or in 12-bit Blackmagic RAW in all formats up to 6K.
Large 5inch touch screen
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features a bright 5-inch touchscreen that makes it easy to frame and focus. So you don't need to carry an external monitor or viewfinder. Thanks to this big screen, it's like having Blackmagic Video Assist installed on your camera. The screen displays essential information while shooting, setup menus and intuitive touch focus controls. You'll also find status information, a histogram, focus assist indicators, levels, framing guides, playback controls and more.
Record directly to external USB-C drives
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is equipped with a high-speed USB-C expansion port that operates at up to 5 Gb / s. USB-C is available on most modern computers and supports power. So you can connect external accessories, such as flash drives or SSDs, to significantly increase your recording times. By connecting a fast external drive, you will be able to shoot in 6K at the highest consistent Q0 quality of Blackmagic RAW or at high frame rates. When you're finished shooting, simply remove the external drive and plug it in to your computer to start editing and color grading right away, without copying files.
Integrated timecode generator
You have professional features, including a built-in timecode generator, to shoot in perfect sync with more than one camera. Just plug an external timecode generator, such as Tentacle Sync, to the 3.5mm audio jack. The camera will automatically detect the timecode and synchronize the internal generator. Each camera will then be able to start and stop recording and all their takes will have the same timecode. In addition, the Sync Bin on the Cut page of DaVinci Resolve will automatically synchronize the clips from all cameras. So you won't waste time sorting through thousands of files!
21.2 megapixel still images
In addition to recording videos, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera can take high-resolution photos. Just press the still image button to capture a 21.2 megapixel photo with the 6K model. Since the images are saved as uncompressed DNG images, you get the best quality, which is ideal for professional printing. Still images are used to keep track during filming, to ensure continuity between takes or to be shared with clients who are not on set.
