ISO
The ‘ISO’ indicator displays the current ISO setting, or light sensitivity. Tapping this indicator lets
you adjust your ISO to suit varying lighting conditions.
Tap the ISO indicator to access ISO settings.
While in the ‘ISO’ menu, your camera’s ISO settings appear along the bottom
of the LCD touchscreen. The slider below the presets lets you adjust ISO in 1/3
stop increments.
Depending on your situation, you may choose a lower or higher ISO setting. For example,
inlowlight conditions ISO 25,600 can be suitable but may introduce some visible noise.
Inbright conditions ISO 100 can provide richer colors.
Dual Native ISO
Your Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K has a dual native ISO of 400 and 3,200, which
means that the sensor is optimized for shooting in both low light conditions, aswell as
bright daylight.
Adjust the ISO for the varying lighting conditions, and the dual native ISO feature will
operate in the background to make sure your footage is clean and has minimal noise at
low and high ISO settings.
When the ISO setting is between 100 and 1,000 the native ISO of 400 is used as
a reference point. TheISOrange between 1,250 and 25,600 uses the native ISO
of 3,200 as a reference. If you are shooting in conditions where you have a choice
between ISO 1,000 or 1,250, we suggest closing down one stop on your lens’ iris so
that you can select ISO 1,250 as itwill engage the higher native ISO and provide much
cleaner results.
This chart shows the relationship between the ISO selection and dynamic
range allocation.
