Image Stabilizer
Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and Micro Cinema Camera support the image stabilizer (IS)

camera. If your lens also features a stabilizer mode switch, set it to the appropriate mode for still
shots or for movement.
Status Strip
Your chosen settings are always displayed on a status strip, which runs the length of the LCD,
HDMI or composite display, showing a convenient summary of the camera’s current settings.
Battery Life Indicator
When the remaining charge drops below 25% capacity, the status strip will show the battery
status in red to warn you that battery life is running low.

TIP When using battery power, the camera will only activate the image stabilizer while
recording, as the lens draws additional power from the camera to operate the image
stabilizer. When external power is connected to the camera, the image stabilizer will be
active any time you set the lens stabilizer switch to ‘on’.
