Your Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K has a tilt screen so you can angle the LCD
touchscreen up or down for a wide range of viewing angles and a power save setting to
dim the LCD when it’s inactive. You can also set the LCD touchscreen to operate at an
extreme brightness that is suitable for shooting in very bright sunlight. This will consume
more power and the screen may run warm at 100% brightness. Atan ambient temperature
of of 35ºC (95ºF) or above, it may automatically reduce the screen brightness to regulate the
temperature and prevent overheating. This safety feature works independently of dimming
due to inactivity. For more information see the‘monitor settings’ section.
