The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 features a 5-inch HDR tilting touchscreen (1920×1080) with 1500 nits brightness and a modern operating system for fast setup.
Canon EF lens compatibility is retained, including cinema lens series such as Carl Zeiss Compact Prime and Canon EF Cinema EOS. Lens functionality is retained; focus and aperture can be controlled via the touchscreen or body buttons. 6144×3456 resolution enables additional reframing in post. The camera is versatile for narrative and documentary films, series, commercials, wedding films, and online platform content.
A 13-stop dynamic range provides a cinematic image with greater detail in highlights and shadows. Two base ISO values are provided: ISO 400 and ISO 3200, with maximum ISO 25,600 for low-light shooting. 3D LUT support and fifth-generation color science improve realism and more accurate skin tone rendering, based on a complex gamma curve designed to capture expanded highlight/shadow information at 12-bit depth.
Recording media include SD, UHS-II, and CFast 2.0. SD cards are suitable for Full HD. UHS-II and CFast 2.0 support 6K recording in supported formats at specified frame rates. Direct recording to an external SSD or flash drive is supported via USB-C.
