The 'display' settings screen on Blackmagic Production
Camera 4K. Display settings on Blackmagic cameras lets you
set the brightness of the LCD, turn LCD overlays on or off,
adjust the display dynamic range and zebra settings. You can
also choose what overlays are visible on your camera's SDI or
HDMI output and select your desired frame guides.
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera lets you change
the 'language' setting so you can view the menu in
various languages.
Display Settings
To adjust the display settings for the LCD and SDI or HDMI output, press the 'menu' button to open
the dashboard, select the 'settings' icon, then select the television icon to the left of the settings menu.
Dynamic Range
The LCD allows you to view your video as you are recording. You can set the dynamic range of the
LCD by selecting 'video' or 'film'.
The dynamic range setting of the LCD is independent to the dynamic range set in the recorder
settings. Some people prefer to monitor video with the LCD set to 'video' even when the recording
format is set to 'film'.
Adjust the dynamic range setting of the LCD using the arrow icons in the menu.
Brightness
Move the slider icon left or right to adjust brightness settings for the LCD.
Zebra
The zebra feature helps you achieve optimum exposure by displaying diagonal lines over areas of the
video that exceed your set zebra level. Turn the zebra feature on or off and adjust the 'zebra level'
by tapping the left and right arrow icons. Setting the zebra to 100% shows which areas are clipped.
Language
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera menu can be set to display various languages.
To set the language:
Step 1.
Press the 'menu' button to open the dashboard on the LCD. You can also bypass the
dashboard by pressing and holding the 'menu' button. Select 'settings' using the navigation
buttons and press 'ok'.
Step 2.
Navigate to the 'display' settings and select 'language'.
Step 3.
Cycle through the different languages by pressing the right and left navigation buttons and
press 'ok' to confirm. You can also confirm your language setting by pressing the 'menu'
button. It may take a second to two for the display to update.
SDI Mode
Use this setting to switch Blackmagic Production Camera 4K's 6G-SDI output between 4K and HD
video. This can be handy when monitoring Ultra HD using Blackmagic UltraScope which is compatible
with HD video signals.
