On screen meters and status strip on the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera
Histogram
The histogram display shows the distribution of the luminance in your video. Pure black is on
the far left side of the display and pure white is on the far right of the display. Keeping your
video signal within these limits prevents your shadows and highlights from being clipped and
preserves detail in the tonal ranges.
Recording Time Remaining
The recording time remaining indicator shows the remaining recording time for your SD card.
The time is shown in hours and minutes and will vary according to your selected frame rate and
codec. For example, ProRes 422 HQ at 24 frames per second. The indicator will automatically
recalculate if either of these settings are changed. When there is approximately 5 minutes
remaining on your SD card the indicator will turn red, and will blink intermittently when there is
only 2 minutes remaining.
Peak Audio
The peak audio meters display audio levels for channels 1 and 2 when using the internal
microphone, or via external audio when connected. The display is calibrated to dBFS units and
features peak hold indicators which stay visible for a short time so you can clearly see the
maximum levels reached. To achieve optimum audio quality, adjust your audio levels until the
peak averages at -12dB. If the audio level reaches 0dB the peak hold indicators will turn red,
indicating that the audio signal is being clipped.
On Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, the status strip and on screen
meters can be viewed on the HDMI or composite output display
