Blackmagic URSA Cine - Control Buttons; Forward Control Panel

Control Buttons
Blackmagic URSA Cine has control panels on each side of the camera for quick and easy
access to all of its essential functions and provides powerful monitoring tools. These panels are
designed to be close to hand when shooting from a tripod or on the shoulder.
Forward Control Panel
Your URSA Cine’s forward control panel groups together all of the controls you might need
to adjust when setting up a shot and recording. These are all designed for easy access while
shooting with the foldout monitor closed, such as when operating the camera on the shoulder.

1 ND Filters
Your URSA Cine has three internal neutral density filters. Together with a clear filter, the
available settings are ‘2,’ ‘4’ and ‘6’ stops. These filters allow you to reduce the amount of
light reaching your camera’s sensor by a preset number of exposure ‘stops’. By reducing
the exposure, you can continue shooting at wide apertures in bright conditions such as
outdoors on sunny days.
To adjust your neutral density setting, press the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons to move through each
filter. The ‘clear’ setting means there is no ND filter being used. From settings 0.6 to 1.8, the
ND filters gradually increase in density so you can decrease light if you need to.
Because different people prefer to use different terms for each ND filter, the measurement
of your ND settings can be customized in the LCD menu. You can identify the ND filter
number, amount of stops in light reduction, or the fraction representing the amount of light
reduced for the filters to suit your preference.
