Lock Vertical
Enabling the ‘lock vertical’ setting tags all clips’ metadata as vertical and will be displayed
vertical in applications such as QuickTime Player and DaVinci Resolve.
NOTE Blackmagic RAW footage tagged as vertical requires the latest version of
DaVinci Resolve for the footage to automatically appear vertical.
File Naming Convention
Clips are recorded to your CFexpress card or USB-C flash disk in the Blackmagic RAW format.
Proxy files follow the same naming convention as Blackmagic RAW files but have a .MP4 suffix.
The table below shows an example of the file naming convention:
A001_08151512_C001.braw Blackmagic RAW Filename
A001_08151512_C001.braw Camera index
A001_08151512_C001.braw Reel Number
A001_08151512_C001.braw Month
A001_08151512_C001.braw Day
A001_08151512_C001.braw Hour
A001_08151512_C001.braw Minute
A001_08151512_C001.braw Clip Number
Still image files captured using the ‘still’ button follow the file naming convention for video clips,
however the filename has ‘S001’ representing the ‘still number’ as the last four characters of the
filename in place of the clip number. For information on how to change the camera index, see
the ‘Project Metadata’ section.
Monitor Settings
The ‘monitor’ tab lets you adjust status text, overlays and other monitoring options for your
Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K. Options are arranged by output between ‘LCD’ and ‘HDMI’.
The ‘viewfinder’ button provides monitoring options if you have a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema
Camera EVF installed on your camera.
Monitor settings have five pages of options, which you can cycle through by tapping the arrows
at the edge of your camera’s touchscreen or by swiping left or right.
