Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC 4K)
Handheld Digital Cinema Camera with Active Micro Four Thirds Mount
The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is a revolutionary, full-featured digital cinema camera packed into a portable, handheld chassis. Built with a high-performance 4/3-inch image sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, and a dual-native ISO climbing up to 25,600, this camera captures striking, Hollywood-grade digital film with rich HDR colors and exceptional low-light performance.

Constructed from a lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite, the BMPCC 4K records high-fidelity DCI 4K images up to 75 fps natively to internal media cards or directly to external SSD drives via its integrated high-speed USB-C port. It features an active Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) lens mount, offering native compatibility with lightweight electronic lenses, or seamless adaptation to PL, C, and Canon EF glass via optional third-party adapters.

Key Recording Formats & Anamorphic Capabilities
Blackmagic RAW & Apple ProRes Ecosystems: Gives you complete post-production flexibility by supporting Blackmagic RAW (at multiple compression choices), Apple ProRes RAW, ProRes RAW HQ, and standard ProRes 422 codecs to balance editing speed and bit-rate performance.

Anamorphic Mode Options: Supports a dedicated 2.8K anamorphic mode (2880 x 2160 in a 4:3 aspect ratio) at up to 80 fps, complete with built-in 2x and 1.33x preview de-squeeze options right on the screen.

High Frame Rate (HFR) Speeds: Capture smooth slow-motion action at up to 75 fps in full DCI 4K (and 4K 2.4:1 widescreen layouts), up to 120 fps in 2.6K RAW optimized for vintage Super16 lenses, or up to 120 fps in a cropped Full HD 1080p mode.

Bake-In or Monitor 3D LUTs: Apply custom 3D LUTs for accurate on-set monitoring, or choose to bake the look directly into the recorded files when working on fast-turnaround projects. Custom LUTs can also be embedded directly as non-destructive metadata within Blackmagic RAW files.

Professional Inputs, Media, & Monitoring
5-Inch Onboard Touchscreen Display: Features a massive, bright 5-inch touchscreen LCD monitor that simplifies menu navigation and camera settings while eliminating the need for a bulky external on-camera monitor.

Flexible 3-Way Media Capture: Outfitted with an internal CFast 2.0 card slot and a high-speed SD/UHS-II slot for reliable internal recording, alongside a USB-C expansion port for capturing prolonged, uninterrupted sequences directly to external SSD media drives.

Advanced Professional Audio IO: Includes a professional mini-XLR input with 48V phantom power support for professional studio microphones, a standard 3.5mm stereo microphone jack, and a high-fidelity built-in stereo microphone system.

Full-Sized HDMI Connectivity: Uses a robust, full-sized HDMI Type A port to output clean 10-bit video feeds to wireless directors’ cages or monitoring stations without the fragility of micro-HDMI connectors.

Camera Architecture & Intelligent Control
Blackmagic OS Interface: Driven by the ultra-fast, modern Blackmagic OS software found on flagship URSA Mini cameras. It offers quick access to customizable frame guides (such as 1:1 and 4:5 social media presets), a built-in horizon level function, an 8x pinch-to-zoom check focus tool, and USB PTP control.

Bluetooth Remote Tracking: Built-in wireless Bluetooth remote connectivity allows you to control camera functions, trigger recording, and adjust settings from up to 30 feet away via compatible tablet or smartphone apps.

Dual Power Solutions: Runs off readily available Canon LP-E6 type batteries for mobile handheld operating, or ties into continuous studio power via the included multi-voltage locking wall power supply. It also natively supports the modular Pocket Battery Grip extension.
