Features

Color Temperature
Setting the color temperature tells the camera how to interpret white and other colors in an image. Instead of saving images with color values baked in, Blackmagic RAW makes it possible for you to change the temperature in post production with DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Contrast
Adjusting contrast, or the tonal range of an image, can make different parts of the image stand out. While you should always try to get the best shot on set, Blackmagic RAW gives you the flexibility to adjust contrast without any loss of quality while you?re editing and color correcting.

ISO
Changing the ISO adjusts the camera?s sensitivity to light. Properly exposed shots require the right combination of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Depending on the lights and exposure settings, you may need to adjust ISO in post.

Tint
Adjusting tint is another way you can affect the overall color balance of an image. Unlike saturation or midpoint which can make reds redder or yellows more yellow, adjusting tint actually lets you push the colors in different directions.

Saturation
Saturation is the strength or purity of a color. More saturated colors are pure and less saturated colors have a percentage of gray in proportion to their hue. Adjusting saturation in Blackmagic RAW images can help make the colors visually pop or become muted.

Exposure
In order for your images to look good, you need to make sure that it?s not too bright (overexposed) or too dark (underexposed). With Blackmagic RAW, the exposure settings can be changed in post so you can save shots that were not properly exposed!

Use Standard SD Cards, UHS?II or CFast 2.0 Media!
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features built in CFast and SD UHS?II card recorders, and a USB?C expansion port for recording direct to an external media disk. You can use regular SD cards for HD or higher performance UHS?II and CFast cards for native 4K or 6K when using Blackmagic RAW.

Imagine capturing over an hour of full resolution 6K images on a single 256GB SD UHS?II card! The ProRes and Blackmagic RAW files work with all video software. You can even mount the media cards on your computer and start editing directly from them using the included DaVinci Resolve Studio software!

1 review for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Super 35 size 6144×3456 image sensor

Expandore – 15/08/2019

Blackmagic RAW’s limitations
Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) is unable to scale.

BMPCC6K uses a sensor with physical dimensions similar to the 4K version, but the only difference is it has more pixel in it. The sensor is 18.96mm x 10.00mm, while the BMPCC6K sensor is 23.10mm x 12.99mm. This means that the BMPCC4K has an approximate pixel pitch of about 21 nanometers, while the BMPCC6K’s pixel pitch is around 14nm.

Working in 4K will require windowing of the sensor, and consequently a big crop factor.

there would be a significant crop factor when shooting in 4K on the BMPCC6K in Blackmagic RAW.

Workaround
It is the view of the Pocket Camera, that it is more advantageous to shoot in 5.7K and downscale in post-production. This is because the 5.7K recording mode has an aspect ratio of 17:9, the same aspect ratio as 4K DCI. This provides more picture quality than a simple crop.

7K and 2.8K
The BMPCC6K supports BRAW recording in 3.7K Anamorphic and 2.8K recording. In all likelihood, support in 3.7K Anamorphic is provided as the de-squeeze would almost negate any crop factor imposed.

8K recording affords high-speed recording of up to 120 frames per second. Therefore, the 2x crop factor imposed should be acceptable.
