High Resolution Cinematic Digital Film Sensor

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro uses a large Super 35 sensor with 6144 x 3456 native resolution that allows shooting with a shallow depth of field and anamorphic lenses. Whether you’re shooting in bright sunlight or in almost no light at all, the 13 stops of dynamic range with dual native ISO up to 25,600 provide stunning low noise images in all lighting conditions. It let you shoot up to 60 fps in full resolution or 120 fps windowed.

Built-in ND Filters

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro features high-quality, motorized IR ND filters that let you quickly reduce the amount of light entering the camera. The 2, 4 and 6 stop filters have been designed to filter both optical and IR wavelengths evenly, eliminating IR contamination of the images.

Shoot Incredible High Dynamic Range (HDR) Images

This camera has an incredible 13 stops of dynamic range which means it preserves more detail in the lightest and darkest areas of an image than simple video cameras can.

Dual Gain ISO for Exceptional Low Light Performance

The 6K Pro camera features dual gain ISO up to 25,600, which means it’s 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.

Shoot Still Frames up to 21.2MP

In addition to shooting video, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera can capture high resolution stills. Simply press the dedicated stills button to record 21.2-megapixel images.

Storage and Recording

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera features built in CFast and SD UHS-II card recorders, and a high-speed USB-C Expansion Port for recording direct to an external media disk. You can use regular SD cards for HD or higher performance UHS-II and CFast cards for native 4K or 6K when using Blackmagic RAW.

Large 5-Inch LCD Monitor

A large, bright 5-inch touchscreen makes it easy for you to frame shots and accurately focus. On screen overlays show status and record parameters, histogram, focus peaking indicators, levels, frame guides and more. You can quickly apply 3D LUTs for monitoring shots with the desired color and look.

Includes DaVinci Resolve Studio

This camera includes DaVinci Resolve Studio software that’s used for creating high end feature films, episodic television shows, commercials and more. DaVinci Resolve features the new cut page with intelligent editing tools and innovative new features designed to help you quickly find the footage you want, edit it together and output it fast.
