Unmatched Sensor Performance
The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K boasts a vast full-frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032, nearly three times larger than a Super 35 sensor. This allows users to capture images with a shallow depth of field and work with anamorphic lenses without cropping, providing an authentic cinematic appearance.
The camera’s 13 stops of dynamic range, combined with dual native ISO up to 25,600, ensure exceptional low-noise image quality under various lighting conditions. It supports shooting at up to 36 fps at full sensor resolution or 120 fps in a windowed mode.
Versatility in Cinematic Formats
The large full-frame sensor in the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K provides versatility in film formats and aspect ratios, allowing for unique open gate 3:2 images that can be reframed during post-production. Additionally, users can shoot in true 6:5 anamorphic without cropping, resulting in higher-resolution widescreen cinematic images. The camera also enables the use of the classic Super 35-sized window on the sensor for instant close-up shots that seamlessly integrate with open gate footage, empowering creators to produce distinctive cinematic content in unmatched quality.
L-Mount Lens Compatibility
The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features an L-Mount, a sophisticated lens mount that accommodates full-frame sensors while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of new and vintage lenses. The L-Mount’s large diameter of 51.6mm works seamlessly with the latest full-frame lenses from renowned manufacturers such as Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma. With a short flange distance of only 20mm, users can easily attach adapters for various lens mounts without compromising image quality. The L-Mount offers a unified lens mount that caters to virtually any lens, providing unlimited creative options.
