Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your Blackmagic Camera!
We have worked hard to produce three cameras that have
been designed from the ground up to fit any kind of workflow.
Our new Pocket Cinema Camera is a Super 16 digital film
camera with 13 stops of dynamic range that is small enough
to take anywhere. The Cinema Camera records uncompressed
CinemaDNG RAW files for pristine images and our new
Production Camera 4K is a Super 35 Ultra HD 4K camera
with a global shutter and 6G-SDI output.
Our cameras are designed to produce files that are "flat",
which means they preserve the wide dynamic range from the
sensor, as well as standard file formats that work with all video
software. This allows you to make creative decisions by using
the included DaVinci color correction software!
We think this means you get a cinema style shooting
experience where you capture and preserve more of the
image so you have as many creative options as possible.
We have also included large screens on our cameras for
easy focus and metadata entry. We hope you connect to our
cameras in creative ways and produce some amazing looking
images! We are extremely excited to see what creative work
you produce!
