Because our final delivery is YouTube and we edit remotely, we record UHD (3840 x 2160) in ProRes 422 LT to an internal SD UHS-II card. If you don’t want to record RAW and want something lighter, say for long interviews, the BMPCC can also record to the ubiquitous Apple ProRes, up to ProRes 422 HQ. The most impressive one is Blackmagic’s own RAW format, which can record near-lossless, up to a constant 3:1 bitrate (configurable from 3:1 to 12:1 or Constant Quality 0-5) to an internal CFast card, or external SSD through its USB-C port. All of these resolutions can be saved in two industry-standard formats. It also does 2.8K Anamorphic natively if you want to break out those old Kowa Anamorphics and make some truly beautiful cinema. It does up to 120fps in either full HD (1920 x 1080) or 2.6K (2688 x 1512) for excellent high-res slow motion. The BMPCC supports up to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at up to 60fps. Normally, changing the ISO on video cameras shifts the camera’s dynamic range, sacrificing either highlight or shadow detail in exchange for different exposure levels. This dual native ISO functionality allows you to take advantage of the camera’s full 13 stops of dynamic range in normal light as well as in darker scenes.
Its Micro 4/3 sensor has two native ISO’s, 4, the latter of which allows for excellent, low-noise low-light video. There’s a plethora of reasons why the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is perfect for us that we’ll get into shortly, but let’s start by taking a look at the specifications for this camera and how we use it.īroadly, the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is a Micro 4/3 4K (up to DCI 4096 x 2160) camera designed specifically for video. Our old Canon 6D MkII worked okay and is a fine camera in its own right, but it was not the right tool for the job. Aside from hiring an editor (that’s me, hello) the biggest upgrade for us was switching to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
Here at StorageReview, we’ve been upping our YouTube game over the past few months and dialing up the production value and quality to bring you the best content we can ( check us out if you haven’t already).
