ISO
ISO settings are helpful when you are shooting in a variety of light conditions. The optimum ISO setting
for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and Cinema Camera is 800ASA with a maximum ISO of
1600ASA. For Production Camera 4K the optimum setting is 400ASA with a maximum ISO of 800ASA.
Depending on your situation, however, you may choose a lower or higher ISO setting. For example,
in low light conditions 1600ASA would be suitable, or 800ASA for Production Camera 4K, but may
introduce some visible noise. In bright conditions 400ASA, or 200ASA on Production Camera 4K,
would be best to record richer colors.
Adjust the ISO settings using the arrow icons in the menu.

White Balance

Blackmagic Cameras include white balance presets for a variety of color temperature conditions.
Each light source emits a warm or cool color. Warm appears red and cool appears blue, so the white
balance setting adds opposing red or blue to compensate. This makes sure white stays white in
your image. Color temperature also changes depending on the position of the sun and the cloud
conditions. For example, light is warm at sunrise, cools down until midday, then warms up again as
the sun sets. Shady areas in your picture, including overcast conditions, will generally appear blue.
Use the following guide to set your white balance to compensate for the changing light conditions:
‚ 2500, 2800, 3000, 3200, 3400, 3600, 4000, 4500 and 4800K for various conditions under
tungsten, incandescent or fluorescent light, or under dull natural light including candle
light, sunrise/sunset, morning, and after noon light.
‚ 5000, 5200, 5400 and 5600K for outdoors on a clear, sunny day.
‚ 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500 and 8000K for a variety of daylight conditions.
Adjust the White Balance settings using the arrow icons in the menu.
Shutter Angle
Shutter angle complements the ISO setting by regulating the amount of light on the sensor.
180 degrees is the optimum shutter angle, however as lighting conditions change you may need
to adjust accordingly. For example, 360 degrees is considered 'wide open' and allows maximum
light onto the sensor. This is useful for low light conditions. If you notice lights are flickering,
172.8 degrees will minimize this effect when shooting 24p in countries with 50 hertz power supplies.
Adjust the 'shutter angle' settings using the arrow icons in the menu.
