Blackmagic URSA Cine - Power; Histogram

Power
Your URSA Cine’s power status is displayed in the top right of the LCD screen. There are five
possible indicators:
While usingbattery power, tapping the power indicator toggles between ‘voltage’ and ‘percentage’ displays
AC Displayed when your URSA Cine is plugged into mains power.
Percentage
If you are using a percentage accurate battery and plate combination
andhave your battery display set to ‘percentage,’ the indicator will
display your battery level as a percentage. At 20% charge remaining,
the indicator will turn red.
Battery bars
If your battery display is set to ‘percentage’ but your battery plate and
battery combination does not support percentage accurate battery
information, your URSA Cine will display a battery icon that drains in
25%increments. At 20% charge remaining, the battery bar will turn red.
Voltage
When your battery display is set to ‘voltage,’ this indicator will display
your battery’s remaining voltage. For 12V batteries, when your battery
drops below 12.5 volts, this indicator will turn red. Your URSA Cine will
automatically shut down once the battery reaches 11.9 volts.
When using battery power, you can switch between ‘voltage’ and ‘percentage’ or ‘battery bars’
power indicators by tapping the power indicator.
Histogram
At the bottom left of your URSA Cine touchscreen, you’ll see the histogram. The histogram
shows the contrast between whites and blacks along a horizontal scale.
The histogram gives you an indication of the tonal rangebetween
shadows andhighlights in your clip. Itisalso a helpful tool for
checking thebalance of yourexposure and to prevent your
highlights from clipping.
The left edge of the histogram displays shadows, or blacks, and the far right displays highlights,
or whites. When you close or open the lens aperture, you’ll notice the information in the
histogram moves to the left or right accordingly. You can use this to check ‘clipping’ in your
image shadows and highlights. If the left and right of your edges of the histogram come to an
abrupt stop rather than falling off gradually, you may be losing highlight or shadow detail.
