Focus
When using an EF mount with an EF lens that supports electronic focus adjustments, press
the ‘focus’ button to activate auto focus. A white focus square will appear on the fold out
monitor. Anything within the square will be correctly focused. When the lens is focused, the
square will disappear.
It’s worth noting that some lenses have both manual and auto focus modes. In order for
URSA Cine to be able to auto focus with your lens, you need to ensure that your lens is set
to auto focus mode.
Peak
Press the ‘peak’ button to activate focus peaking. Your camera has two focus peaking
modes, traditional focus peaking, which artificially sharpens areas of the image that are
in focus, and ‘colored lines’ with overlays the sharp areas of your image with black, white,
red, green or blue colored lines. See the ‘monitor settings’ section of this manual for more
information. Focus peaking is not recorded to storage media, but can be displayed on all
outputs by activating overlays using the touchscreen menu.
It’s worth mentioning if you are recording your video output to a Blackmagic Video Assist or
HyperDeck disk recorder, you may want to ensure that you don’t have peaking switched on
for that output. This can be achieved using the ‘clean feed’ feature in the monitor settings.
For more information on outputting a ‘clean feed’ see the ‘monitor settings’ section in
this manual.
Still
Press this button to capture a single Blackmagic RAW frame.
Menu
Press the ‘menu’ button to open the main LCD menu. Refer to the ‘settings’ section for more
information and how to adjust settings.
Record
Press any of the record buttons marked REC to start and stop recording. Refer to the
‘recording’ section for more information.
Playback Control Buttons
The playback buttons let you start and stop playback, plus skip to the next or previous clip.
When using the EF mount, the forward and reverse skip buttons can also be used to open
or close the iris when using compatible lenses. Refer to the ‘playback’ section for more
information on how to use the playback buttons.
NOTE You can power your URSA Cine on or off via a combination of internal control
panel buttons. Holding the ‘rec’ and ‘forward skip’ buttons will power up the camera
if it is turned off, or power it off if it is turned on. If your camera’s power switch is set
to ‘on’ but your camera is powered down, it may have been powered down via the
control panel. Toggle the power switch to return it to normal operation.
