NOTE
For information on the maximum frame rates available for each recording format
and codec, refer to the 'maximum sensor frame rates' table in the 'recording' section of
this manual.
Preferred Card for Recording
Use this setting to select which storage card or drive your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema
Camera 4K records to first when both slots are in use. The options are 'CFast Card', 'SD Card'
and 'Fullest Card'. Picking either 'CFast Card' or 'SD Card' is a matter of personal preference,
but using either consistently will let you know which card to swap out first as your storage fills
up. 'Fullest card' can help group files chronologically when shooting a single camera project.
The setting you choose is applied when a CFast or SD card is inserted. You can override this
setting at any time by entering the storage manager and tapping the card name to set it as
active. It's important to note, however, that ejecting and reinserting cards reverts to the current
'preferred card for recording' setting.
TIP
The 'fullest card first' setting is based on the percentage that your recording
media are filled, rather than their sizes or the amount of data used.
Stop Rec If Card Drops Frame
Use this setting to configure the behavior of your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K when
dropped frames are detected. When set to 'off,' recording continues with dropped frames.
When set to 'on,' your camera stops recording if dropped frames are detected. This can prevent
you wasting time shooting unusable footage if you don't spot the dropped frame indicator.
TIP
Refer to the 'Storage Media' section for more information on how to avoid
dropping frames.
