  1. Maximus Woods

    Equipment for conscious users. There is no point in making comparisons with cameras, because none allows you to save Raw files. There is nothing to write about color, quality, because it is black magic after all !!!

  2. Jery

    My first “mirrorless” after many years of using Canon SLRs. The undoubted advantage is the size and compactness as well as ergonomics, which is quite good, although different than in the case of SLRs. The quality of the photos is very good, as befits a full frame.

    The AF is phenomenal, it hits everything, even with my bright lenses, which were not perfectly accurate with the “mirror”, here it is simply a shock – 100% accuracy. Eye detection is great, it helps with sharpening on the face. As for me, the camera fully meets my expectations and it was a very successful purchase.

To properly set up and configure your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K for optimal performance, follow these steps:
1. Format the SD or CFast card: Before you start shooting, it's essential to format the SD or CFast card that you will be using with the camera. Connect the camera to a computer and open the Blackmagic Design's Disk Speed Test application from the Camera Utilities folder on the camera's disk. Format the card by following the instructions in the app.
2. Set up the recording format: You can choose between different codecs, including ProRes and Raw, depending on your needs. To change the recording format, go to the main menu of the camera and select "Record Control." Then, scroll down to "Format" and choose your desired setting.
3. Adjust the settings for video resolution and frame rate: You can adjust the video resolution and frame rate by going back to the main menu and selecting "Resolution & Frame Rate." Choose the appropriate resolution and frame rate for your project.
4. Set up the focus and exposure assist tools: The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has several focus and exposure assist tools that can help you achieve better results. To access these tools, go to the main menu and select "Setup." Then, navigate to "Focus & Exposure Assist" and enable the desired tools.
5. Adjust the camera settings: In the "Setup" menu, you can also adjust various camera settings, such as white balance, ISO, shutter speed, and more. Make sure to set these settings based on your shooting environment and artistic vision.
6. Enable audio monitoring: To monitor your audio levels, go to the main menu and select "Audio." Then, enable "Audio Meters" and choose the desired output for your headphones.
7. Use a tripod or stabilizer: To achieve smooth footage, use a tripod or stabilizer while shooting. This will help you avoid unwanted camera movements that can negatively impact the final result.

Can you explain how to properly mount and balance a lens on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K?

Certainly! Here's how to properly mount and balance a lens on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K:
1. Choose a compatible lens: The first step is to make sure you have a compatible lens that fits your camera. Many lenses will fit the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, but not all of them will work perfectly. Be sure to check compatibility before purchasing a new lens.
2. Attach the lens adapter: If you need to use a lens that doesn't fit directly onto the camera, you'll need an adapter. There are several types of adapters available, including ones that allow you to use Canon EF and Nikon F lenses on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
3. Mount the lens: Once you have an appropriate adapter, you can attach your lens to the camera. Align the mounting points on the adapter with the corresponding ones on the camera body, then gently twist the lens into place until it clicks into position.
4. Balancing the lens: To achieve a balanced camera setup, you'll need to make sure the center of gravity is over the shoulder when holding the camera at eye level. You can adjust the balance by moving the lens forward or backward on the adapter mount, and also by adjusting the lens collar if it has one.
5. Check focus and depth of field: After balancing the camera, take a moment to check your focus and depth of field. The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a micro four thirds sensor, which means that you'll get a shallower depth of field with certain lenses than you would on a full-frame camera. Adjust your focus accordingly to ensure everything is in sharp focus.
6. Secure the lens: Finally, make sure the lens is securely attached to the camera by checking that it clicks into place and there are no loose parts. You may also want to use a small amount of lens tape or gaffer's tape to keep the adapter from moving during shooting.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your lens is properly mounted and balanced on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K for smooth and stable shooting.
