Today, Blackmagic Design updated their trio of Pocket Cinema Cameras. All three Pocket Cinema Camera’s: 4K, 6K, and 6K Pro all get new features. The most significant feature for Pocket Cinema Camera shooters? It has to be the luminance histogram to RGB histogram. What does this look like? Well, now Pocket Cinema Camera shooters will see the histogram separated by color channels.

The two older cameras, the 4k, and 6K gain the much-coveted generation 5 color science with additional Q1 and Q3 recording options. The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K gets 4K DCI as a resolution option. 

Recently, I reviewed the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, and this update fixes the one issue I had with the mighty little camera: color calibration of the LCD. Now, shooters and monitor with confidence with the user-adjustable the LCD color calibration.
