LUT indicator
When you are using a LUT as a preview tool on set, a LUT icon will be displayed in the top left
corner of the screen to indicate that the LUT is currently active.
Histogram
At the bottom left of your camera's touchscreen you can see the histogram. The RGB histogram
shows the tonal distribution of the image separated into individual red, green and
blue channels.
The histogram gives you an indication of the tonal range between
shadows and highlights in your clip. It is also a helpful tool for checking the
balance of your exposure and to prevent your highlights from clipping
The left edge of the histogram displays shadows, or blacks, and the far right displays highlights,
or whites. When you close or open the lens aperture, you'll notice the information in the
histogram moves to the left or right accordingly. You can use this to check 'clipping' in your
image shadows and highlights. When clipping occurs in the red, green or blue channel, the
respective indicator on the right side of the histogram lights up. If the left and right of your
edges of the histogram come to an abrupt stop rather than falling off gradually, you may be
losing highlight or shadow detail.
If you don't see a histogram in the bottom left of your touchscreen, your LCD monitor settings
may be set to display 'codec and resolution.' See the 'monitor settings' section in this manual for
more information.
The battery included with your camera shows a battery icon
that drains in 25% steps. At 20% charge remaining, the battery
bar turns red.
If you have a battery grip attached to Pocket Cinema Camera
4K or 6K these battery bars allow you to monitor the state of
both batteries independently.
Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip can power Pocket
Cinema Camera 6K Pro from its two batteries as well as the
camera's internal battery. These battery meters show the
states of all three batteries.
This shows the voltage supplied by the battery, or through
the DC power jack from a plug pack, D-tap adapter cable or
custom power solution. To toggle the voltage display on or off,
tap on the battery icon.
