The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K | Official Sitefeatures a 4/3" sensor for capturing up to 4096 x 2160 DCI 4K images at rates up to 75 fps in a variety of codecs including Blackmagic Raw at several bit rates and various ProRes 422 options. 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 rates up to 120 fps are available in 2.6K raw for Super16 lenses and in cropped Full HD. The 6.6 update makes operating easier with support for the Pocket Battery Grip and a built-in horizon level function. Further 6.6 update features include support for additional languages, USB PTP control, customizable frame guides, an up to 8x pinch-to-zoom function, the ability to embed custom LUTs as metadata in Blackmagic Raw, and more.
The Micro Four Thirds lens mount accommodates the original, lightweight Pocket Cinema Camera lenses, and can be used with PL, C, EF, and other lenses with the use of separately available adapters. A dual-native ISO up to 25,600 is featured for low-light capture, and 13 stops of dynamic range provide rich HDR images.
Record using the internal CFast 2.0 and SD/UHS-II card slots or employ the USB Type-C output for capturing longer clips to an external drive. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's 5" touchscreen LCD reduces the need for an external, onboard monitor, while a full-sized HDMI port enables you to output a signal to a larger display. The menu and interface are the same as the ones found on the URSA Mini camera, and 3D LUTs can be applied for monitoring or baking in your look when you're ready to commit.
Audio features include a mini-XLR input with phantom power for pro-style mics, a 3.5mm jack, and an internal stereo mic. Additional features include the same Blackmagic OS as the URSA Mini and Bluetooth remote control. A license key for DaVinci Resolve Studio is included for versatile post-production control. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's carbon fiber composite build provides lightweight strength and durability, and power options include running off the included Canon LP-E6 type battery or the included power supply.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. what exactly includes in the box???
A: The camera body, cavity cap, one battery, power supply (with international adapters), SD card for user manual, SD card for Resolve software.
Q: 2. Can you control focus with the bluetooth and an electronic capable lens. Likr for zhinyun crane app?
A: Saw a 3rd party bluetooth app in action controlling focus at the BMD road show. You can also remotely control ISO, WB, etc.
Q: 3. Does it include sd card, batteries and charger in box?
A: It includes one battery and a charger, it does include an SD card but thats a camera manual, not suited for recording use
Q: 4. Can you add and record time and date?
A: No you can not.
Q: 5. Which other BM camera is the most similar in image quality to this one?
A: Color wise, if would match well with an URSA Mini Pro if it were on Gen4 color science. Dynamic range wise, it's similar to the original BMCC and Pocket Cinema Camera.
Q: 6. Will there be a way to start/stop recording with a cable? So we can place the camera at distance from the operator.
A: Sadly no LANC! Pretty dumb decision by BMD....
Q: 7. Most micro four thirds lenses don't appear to have a physical switch to move between auto and manual focus. How will the Pocket 4K work with these lenses? Will autofocus be disabled as a default or will it be always on (which would be bad!). Thanks!
A: Auto focus is a single touch by the operator and is not continuous.
Q: 8. The fifteenth photo in this page shows the camera on a gimble. Can You tell us which gimble is it?
A: The gimbal shown on the wedding image is the Tilta Gravity G2.
Q: 9. In "External Recording/Raw Output" section mentioned only 12-bit - does it mean that through USB-C port camera does not write 10-bit ProRes at all?
A: You can choose 12-Bit RAW via USB. That works is because it is data, not video. If you want 10-bit ProRes, (which is video), that goes through HDMI.
Q: 10. do we know what speed booster will work for canon lenses yet?
A: Speedbooster recommends using the XL 0.64x with Full Frame lenses and the Ultra 0.71x if using APS-C/DX lenses.
