Large-Format Cinematic Digital Film Sensor! The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K boasts an expansive full-frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032 – nearly three times larger than a Super 35 sensor. This sensor enables you to achieve a shallow depth of field and utilize anamorphic lenses without cropping, creating an authentic cinematic appearance. Whether you're shooting in intense sunlight or extremely low light conditions, the camera's 13 stops of dynamic range, combined with dual native ISO of up to 25,600, delivers remarkably low-noise images in all lighting scenarios. Moreover, you can shoot at up to 36 fps at full sensor resolution or 120 fps in a windowed mode. Paired with Blackmagic's renowned color science, this sensor provides the same imaging technology found in expensive digital cinema cameras.
Full-Frame Flexibility The large full-frame sensor in the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K offers versatility in film formats and aspect ratios without compromising quality. By utilizing the full sensor area, you gain access to an open gate 3:2 image, allowing for flexible reframing during post-production. Moreover, you can work in true 6:5 anamorphic without cropping, resulting in detailed widescreen cinematic images at higher resolutions than previously achievable. The camera even provides the classic Super 35-sized window on the sensor, creating an instant 'close-up' version of your shot that seamlessly integrates with open gate footage. These features empower you to craft unique cinematic content with the utmost quality!
Dual Gain ISO for Outstanding Low-Light Performance In digital filmmaking, ISO measures the image sensor's sensitivity to light. A higher ISO number signifies greater sensitivity, enabling shooting in natural light, even during nighttime. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K boasts dual native ISO of up to 25,600, meticulously optimized to minimize grain or noise in images while preserving the sensor's full dynamic range. The native ISO of 400 is ideal for scenes with on-set lighting, while the secondary high base ISO of 3200 is perfect for dimly lit environments. The camera's automatic gain adjustment as you tweak the ISO setting ensures exceptional image quality when you're pressed for time and unable to set up additional lighting.
Various Resolutions and Frame Rates The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K offers the flexibility to shoot in a wide range of standard resolutions and frame rates, ranging from HD to DCI 4K and even 6K. It can also capture stills at an impressive 24.6 megapixels! You can shoot up to 36 fps at 6048 x 4032 in a 3:2 open gate configuration, or 60 fps at 6048 x 2520 in a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. Additionally, you can achieve 60 fps at 4096 x 2160 in 4K DCI. For higher frame rates, you can opt to window the sensor, shooting at up to 100 fps at 2112 x 1184 in Super 16. It even accommodates true anamorphic 6:5 at significantly higher resolutions than other cameras equipped with anamorphic lenses, providing stunning 4.8K footage at 24 fps with a resolution of 4838 x 4032. For slow-motion enthusiasts, the camera can shoot at a remarkable 120 fps in 1080HD. With the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K, you'll always have the right resolution and frame rate for your project!
Vertical Aspect Ratio Shooting! Creating cinematic content for platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and more is a breeze with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K. Simply rotate the camera to capture vertical aspect ratios, such as 9:16 and 4:5. The on-screen heads-up display (HUD) adapts accordingly, ensuring vital information like frame rate, shutter angle, and frame guides remain easily visible, even when the camera is inverted. Additionally, you can enable frame guides to keep essential details within the shot for different aspect ratios. When importing your footage into DaVinci Resolve, the clips are automatically tagged as vertical, ensuring they appear correctly in your timeline. And once your project is complete, exporting to TikTok and YouTube is straightforward!
Post-Production Friendly File Formats! The Blackmagic Cinema Camera records in Blackmagic RAW, preserving control over detail, exposure, and color during post-production. Simultaneously, it records HD H.264 proxies in real time, facilitating easy media sharing worldwide in a matter of minutes. Blackmagic RAW is highly optimized, taking advantage of multi-threading and GPU acceleration with compatibility across various CPU cores and GPU platforms like Apple Metal, CUDA, and OpenCL.
