Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Featuring a larger 6144 x 3456 Super 35 sensor and EF lens mount, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K lets you use larger EF photographic lenses to create cinematic images with shallower depth of field, allowing creative defocussed backgrounds and gorgeous bokeh effects! Extra resolution also gives you more room for reframing in editing and color correction.
This means that you can shoot in 6K and then in post production zoom and re‑frame to allow wide shots and close ups to be created, all from a single camera and without losing image quality!
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate Composite
The elegant design of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k packs an incredible number of high end digital film features into a miniaturized, handheld design. Made from lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite, the camera features a multifunction handgrip with all controls for recording, ISO, WB and shutter angle right at your fingertips.
Because it’s an advanced digital film camera, the sensor is designed to reduce thermal noise allowing cleaner shadows and higher ISO. Plus the large 5 inch LCD makes it possible to get perfect focus at 4K and 6K resolutions. You also get a removable battery door, 4 shock proof microphones, heavy duty lens mount and built in speaker.
Multifunction Grip with Fingertip Controls!
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K multifunction handgrip features a comfortable and familiar design that puts important functions such as ISO, WB and shutter buttons right at your fingertips. There’s even a scroll wheel under your index finger for making quick iris adjustments!
You get additional controls that go beyond those found on a DSLR, which means you don’t have to go hunting through menus on a tiny screen to find a command! The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features easy to reach recording and still buttons that are placed exactly where you expect them to be, including user assignable function keys and control buttons for high frame rate, focus zoom, menu operation, playback and more.
Shoot Incredible High Dynamic Range (HDR) Images
The distance between the lightest and the darkest parts of an image is called dynamic range and is measured in stops. Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K both have an incredible 13 stops of dynamic range which means they preserve more detail in the lightest and darkest areas of an image than simple video cameras can.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K allows you to set exposure for an indoor scene such as a cafe and still retain the details of bright outdoor light coming through a window. You even get more colors than the standard DCI‑P3 colorspace used for feature films. DaVinci Resolve Studio software is included with the camera, which means that you get total creative freedom with full exposure adjustment and recovery controls when color grading!
Dual Gain ISO for Exceptional Low Light Performance
In digital film ISO is a measurement of the image sensor’s sensitivity to light. This means the higher the ISO number the more sensitivity to light so it’s possible to shoot using natural light even at night! The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features dual gain ISO up to 25,600, which means both the 4K and 6K models are optimized to minimize grain or noise in images, while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor.
The native ISO of 400 is ideal for scenes with on‑set lighting. The secondary high base ISO of 3200 is perfect when shooting in dimly lit environments. The gain is set automatically as you adjust the ISO setting on the camera, so it’s easy to capture great images when you don’t have time to set up lights.

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.
