Dynamic Range
Blackmagic Cameras have two dynamic range settings:
Film
The film setting records video using a log curve and gives you 13 stops of dynamic
range, which maximizes the information in your video signal to help you get the most
out of color grading software, such as DaVinci Resolve. When recording in CinemaDNG
RAW formats, only the film dynamic range setting is available.
Video
The video setting uses the REC709 standard for high definition video. This lets you
work faster by recording directly to the compressed video formats your camera
supports, which are compatible with popular post production software. Adjust the
dynamic range settings using the arrow icons in the menu.
Frame Rate
Your Blackmagic compact camera has five different frame rate settings for shooting common
film and video frame rates, including 23.98 fps, 24 fps, 25 fps, 29.97 fps, 30 fps. Blackmagic
Micro Cinema Camera also includes frame rates up to 50 fps, 59.94 fps and 60 fps.
Adjust the frame rate setting using the arrow icons in the menu, or the left and right arrow
buttons on Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera.
Time Lapse Interval
This setting allows you to record a still frame at the following intervals:
Frames: 2 – 10
Seconds: 1 – 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Minutes: 1 – 10
For example, you can set the camera to record a still frame every 10 frames, 5 seconds, 30
seconds, 5 minutes etc.
The time lapse feature offers many creative options. For example, if the time lapse interval is set
to record a frame at 2 frame intervals, this will give your recorded video a high speed effect
when played back.
