Dashboard
Press the 'menu' button to open your camera's dashboard. This tabbed menu has settings not
available from the touchscreen. Settings are divided by function into 'record,' 'monitor,' 'audio,'
'setup,' 'presets,' and 'LUTS' tabs. Each tab has multiple pages, which you can cycle through by
tapping the arrows at the edge of your camera's touchscreen, or swiping left or right.
Tap the 'record,' 'monitor,' 'audio,' 'setup,' 'presets,' and 'LUTS' headings
to move between your Pocket Cinema Camera 4K's dashboard tabs
Record Settings
The 'record' tab lets you set your video format, codec, and resolution, as well as other settings
that are important for your recorded video, such as dynamic range and detail sharpening.
Record Settings 1
The first page of the 'record' settings tab contains the following settings.
Codec and Quality
The 'codec and quality' menu is split into two rows. The top row lets you choose between two
codec families, Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes, while the bottom row offers quality options
in those families. For example, the quality options available in the ProRes codec family are
ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, ProRes 422 LT and ProRes 422 Proxy. Blackmagic RAW options
are divided between four 'constant bitrate' and two 'constant quality' settings.
TIP
The amount of video you can record on your storage media on Blackmagic Pocket
Cinema Camera 4K increases if you choose codecs that use higher compression.
Refer to the 'record duration' tables in the 'recording' section for more information.
