Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2!
Your micro studio camera features a high ISO wide dynamic range 4K sensor for shooting
cinematic images in studio lighting and even dimly lit environments. Your camera supports
Blackmagic Design’s generation 5 color science for live production, plus when recording
Blackmagic RAW to external disks via the USB expansion port you can even edit and color
grade later in post production!
Even though your camera is very small, it has the features of a full size studio camera with
12G-SDI for HD and Ultra HD images up to 2160p60. Small HD-BNC connectors and the HDMI
monitor output provide tally and camera control when connected to ATEM switchers. The
HDMI monitor output can also be used to view your shot on set and to change settings using
the menu overlay.
Your Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 is so small you can hide it in hard to reach
locations and extreme angles, or even connect optional accessories like the Blackmagic
Focus and Zoom Demand and operate the camera like a full size studio camera!
