Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2

Super 35 HDR Sensor, Gen 5 Color Science

Overview

The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 is the latest compact Super35 camera to join the Blackmagic Design series. This cine-style camera features the same 6K S35 sensor, recording features, dynamic range, interface ports, and controls as the 6K Pro but pares a few features to create a more affordable form. Features inherited from the 6K Pro include a 5" tilting touchscreen LCD, Pro EVF and battery grip options, dual mini-XLR audio inputs, an NP-F570 L-series battery slot, and the updated Gen 5 color science. By eliminating the internal ND filters and reducing the 1500cd/m² LCD brightness of the 6K Pro, Blackmagic now enables users to choose between two near identical 6K models as best suits their priorities.

The Blackmagic Design 6K G2 camera comes with a DaVinci Resolve Studio activation key plus a 30W power supply, offering simultaneous battery charging, an NP-F570 battery, a lens port cap, and a camera strap.

Firmware Update 7.9

Firmware upgrade 7.9 features include:

• A new focus-assist intensity adjustment slider

• The ability to select between SD and SSD media on the LCD screen itself

• Frame guide color adjustment

• Improved lens control and autofocus features

• Adds support for focus and zoom demands—no longer just for studio cameras

• Gyro sensor information can be recorded into data and DaVinci Pro can use the gyro data to stabilize the footage

Super35 Image Sensor/Dual Native ISO

The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 camera uses a Super35 size sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, and a dual native 400/3200 ISO up to 25,600 to capture rich images at resolutions up to 6144 x 3456 up to 60 fps

Gen 5 Color

The 6K G2 uses the same advanced Gen 5 color science as the 6K Pro and URSA Mini Pro 12K cameras, making it easy to intercut 6K Pro, 6K, and BMPCC 4K footage.

Tilting 5" LCD Touchscreen

The 5" tilting HDR touchscreen LCD makes it easy to view and adjust your settings, even when shooting in high or low modes.

Active Canon EF Mount

• Choose from a wide array of Canon EF/EF-S-mount lenses

• Electronic lens communication with iris, autofocus, and zoom control available with compatible lenses

Mini-XLR Audio Inputs

Professional audio support now includes two mini XLR inputs with phantom +48V power, a 3.5mm stereo input, a mono speaker, a headphone output, and a built-in stereo mic system.

L-Series Batteries

Both the 6K G2 camera and the optional battery grip use widely available NP-F570 L-series batteries

Blackmagic Raw and ProRes Recording

Capture in Blackmagic Raw or ProRes 422 options, depending on your project's needs, and record using the internal CFast 2.0 and SD/UHS-II card slots or via the full-size HDMI port to an optional ATEM Mini switcher for live streaming or output via the USB Type-C port to capture longer clips to an external SSD.
