Camera ID
If using more than one Blackmagic Camera, it's helpful to set each camera's ID which will be
included with any metadata recorded with your clips. Set the camera ID with the onscreen
keyboard. When you have finished entering a new camera ID, select 'enter' to save, or select
'cancel' to discard any changes.
Change the camera ID using the onscreen keyboard
TIP
The camera ID becomes part of the filename in the recorded file. Therefore if you
would like to shorten the length of your filename, you may do so by shortening the
camera ID. For example to 'BMPCC4'.
If you're using the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, you will find the 'camera number', 'date'
and 'time' settings in the 'setup' menu.
Setting Date and Time
To set date and time on your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, select the + or - buttons to
change the year, month and day settings.
Time is set to 24 hour format on Blackmagic Cameras. To set the time, select the + and - keys to
make adjustments to the time. If traveling with your Blackmagic Camera, remember to change
the date and time to local time zones.
TIP
If you have your Blackmagic compact camera stored for long periods, the time may
need to be reset. It is always a good idea to check the time and date prior to recording.
When connecting your camera to your computer via USB and launching Blackmagic
Camera Setup, your computer's time is synced to your camera.
