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.

A dual-native ISO up to 25,600 is featured for low-light capture, and 13 stops of dynamic range provide rich HDR images.
