The updated Gen 5 internal color processing makes it easy to intercut 6K Pro, 6K, and BMPCC 4K footage. The 6K Pro can turn one frame into two by cropping a second shot from one frame, upscaling to 8K, or simply capturing rich, detailed footage with your favorite EF/EF-S-mount lens. The EF mount supports iris, autofocus, and zoom functions using electronic communication when using compatible lenses. With only a slightly larger form factor than the 6L, the 6K Pro records the same resolutions up to x 3456 video, and it retains the valuable active Canon EF mount, letting users take advantage of the expansive array of EF/EF-S mount lenses available. The 6K Pro features all the recording features, sensor, dynamic range, buttons, and ports as its predecessor, and adds a variety of important new features such as a 5' tilting HDR capacitive touchscreen LCD with 1500 cd/m² brightness, a Pro EVF option, built-in clear/2/4/6-stop ND filters, dual mini-XLR inputs, an accurate timecode clock, an NP-F570 L-series battery slot, and updated Gen 5 color science. By reducing the amount of light hitting the sensor, neutral density filters allow shooters to shoot at slower shutter speeds and wider apertures, even in bright settings.To top their previous achievement with the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, Blackmagic Design adds an even more full-featured, compact Super35 camera to their cine-style line with the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. Shooting with shutter speeds that are too short can make video look jittery, which can be cool for John Wick-style action sequences, but doesn’t really work in many other instances. If you’re a still shooter, this may not sound very handy, but it’s extremely useful for video.

In addition to the sensor itself, the 6K Pro includes motorized neutral density filters that can block two, four, or six stops of light coming into the camera. The tilting screen is a big upgrade over the previous model. That can come in handy later for editing and color grading. The extra resolution allows for oversampled 4K footage, which pulls in more details than native 4K. Inside, Blackmagic has equipped the 6K Pro with the same color processing tech found in its IMAX-worthy (and 2020 Best of What’s New award-winning) URSA Mini Pro 12K.
