LCD and Viewfinder
Display
Instead of a histogram and audio meters, your camera can display codec and resolution
information at the left and right bottom edges of the LCD touchscreen or optional
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Pro EVF. This can be useful if you prefer to use
false color for dialing in exposure, or are recording audio separately and want to display
additional information in the space normally used by the histogram and audio meter. Simply
tap ‘meters’ or ‘codec and resolution’ in the ‘LCD’ menu to select your preferred view.
HDMI Only
Display Status Text for Cinematographer or Director
The LCD touchscreen displays information such as ISO, white balance, and aperture that is
useful to a camera operator or cinematographer setting up individual shots on that camera.
Your camera’s HDMI output, however, can also show information useful to a director or
script supervisor who is keeping track of multiple shots or cameras.
Setting the status text to ‘director’ in the HDMI monitor settings changes the status text for
that output to show the following information.
• FPS
Displays the currently selected frames per second for that camera. If off speed frame rate is
disabled, only the project frame rate is shown. If an off speed frame rate is being used, the
sensor frame rate is shown, followed by the project frame rate.
