Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K!
In 2012 we launched our original Blackmagic Cinema Camera for portable digital film making.
Since then we have listened to your wonderful feedback and have now built our new cinema
camera. Welcome to Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K!
Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features a full height 6K sensor that is 3 times larger than
a Super 35 sensor with a 3:2 aspect ratio and large photosites. That means the pictures
look even more amazing, you get a larger image using full frame lenses and you get to use
anamorphic lenses without cropping. Plus your camera’s highly adaptable L-Mount lets you use
EF lenses, PL cine lenses and a lot more. It’s a true digital cinema camera for high end film!
Your new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K has completely redesigned electronics but uses the
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Pro platform so you can use the same battery extender
and viewfinder with all the same accessories.
Your camera records 2 simultaneous streams of video including full resolution Blackmagic
RAW plus small HD H.264 proxies so you can do cloud and remote work in DaVinci Resolve
and start editing immediately. The files are recorded on very small, super fast CFexpress cards
that are designed for film and video.
This instruction manual shows you how to get started with Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K.
Check the support page on our website at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest version
of this manual and for updates to your Blackmagic Cinema Camera’s internal software. When
downloading the software, be sure to register with your information so we can keep you
updated when new software is released.
We are continually working on new features and improvements, so we are keen to hear from you!
