The BMPCC4k features an all new handheld design. The\u00a0Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a 4\/3 size sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range and dual native ISO up to 25,600.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/\/BMPCC4K-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6845\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/\/BMPCC4K-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/BMPCC4K-1-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/BMPCC4K-1-1-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Initially the Dual Native ISO was featured in the Panasonic Varicam which had ISO 800 and ISO 5000 as dual native ISOs. However, BMD claims a whooping ISO 25600 as the Dual Native ISO. That means on theory you get stunning HDR images and incredible low light performance. It is to be seen how this claimed Dual Native ISO is implemented and the performance in actual conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0external controls give you quick access to essential functions, while the large 5 inch touchscreen makes it easy to frame shots, focus accurately and change camera settings. Images are recorded onto standard SD\/UHS-II or CFast 2.0 cards in\u00a0RAW and ProRes at up to 120 frames per second! In\u00a0addition, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera\u00a04K has an MFT lens mount, built-in microphones, mini XLR input, full sized HDMI, 3D LUT support, Bluetooth, USB-C Expansion Port and\u00a0more!<\/p>\n<p>Since the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a portable and affordable design which shoots upto 4k 60p, it should be perfect for shooting independent films and documentaries, fashion shows, travel blogs, web videos, weddings, corporate video, sports and more at a much lower price point.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/\/BMPCC4K-design-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6846\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/\/BMPCC4K-design-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"471\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/BMPCC4K-design-1.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/BMPCC4K-design-1-251x300.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The portable handheld design of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K gives you incredible mobility without sacrificing features. The highly compact form factor features a carbon fiber reinforced composite body that makes it extremely durable and lightweight so you can take it anywhere. You get a super bright 5\u201d screen, 4 built in microphones, built in recorders and external buttons and dials that give you fast access to the most important functions. That means you can quickly check framing and focus, capture audio and record your files without having to carry around extra monitors, microphones, recorders and cables. You also get lots of mounting points, a mini XLR input with phantom power, Bluetooth control and more. With the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K you get a\u00a0fully featured portable digital film camera that\u2019s flexible and\u00a0expandable!<\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0017130122458770\" data-ad-slot=\"9149258569\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br \/>\nThe Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K uses the MFT (Micro Four Thirds) lens mount. If you don\u2019t have MFT lenses then you can use adapters for PL, C, EF mounts to use those lenses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Recording Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The BMPCC 4K camera records using standard SD\u00a0cards, UHS-II cards or CFast 2.0\u00a0media!<\/p>\n<p>If you are shooting HD video, then it can be recorded to the inexpensive inexpensive SD cards. Higher performance UHS-II cards can be used for recording Ultra HD in ProRes at\u00a0up\u00a0to 60\u00a0frames per second and RAW at up to 30 frames per second. CFast cards can record 12-bit RAW at all supported frame rates. For longer recording times, you can also record directly to an external SSD or\u00a0flash disk using the built in USB-C Expansion Port! Best of all, there\u2019s nothing proprietary. The files will work with all professional post production software. You can even mount the media cards on your computer and start editing directly from them using the included DaVinci\u00a0Resolve Studio\u00a0software!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Expansion Port<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>High speed USB-C connectionfor direct external\u00a0recording!<\/p>\n<p>The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K features an innovative high speed USB-C Expansion Port. USB-C is fast, flexible and even provides power, so it\u2019s quickly becoming standard on all modern computers and devices. The massive bandwidth of USB-C makes it possible to connect external accessories such as flash drives and SSDs for significantly longer recording times. This can be important when shooting high quality lossless 12-bit RAW or even high frame rate 60 frame per second 4K. Best\u00a0of all, when you\u2019re done shooting you can use the same drive for editing and post\u00a0production!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/\/BMPCC-4K-recording-via-USBC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6847\" src=\"http:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/\/BMPCC-4K-recording-via-USBC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"688\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/BMPCC-4K-recording-via-USBC.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.indiawilds.com\/diary\/wp-content\/images\/BMPCC-4K-recording-via-USBC-300x146.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Super Large Touchscreen<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Large and bright 5\u201d touchscreenmakes focusing fast and easy!<\/p>\n<p>The back of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K features a super bright, large 5 inch touchscreen.

You get the same menus and interface found on URSA Mini cameras, including on screen overlays for recording parameters, status, histogram, focus and peaking indicators, and playback controls. In addition, you\u00a0can apply 3D LUTs so you can monitor the shot with the\u00a0desired color and look. Not only can you use the 3D\u00a0LUT for\u00a0monitoring, it can even be baked into the recorded footage.
