This is by far the most beautiful explanation of the BMPCC4K. Modest. Plain. No narcissistic navel-gazing. No drowning "music". You would be a great teacher. Actually you already are one! Thank you. H.
Thanks very much! You answered a lot of questions that I've been struggling with and helped me understand the function buttons and pre-sets clearly.
You're welcome :)
@@carlscinema7086 - Hey Carl. Greetings from Berlin and Edinburgh.
What do you put on your function buttons F,1 F2 and F3?
Cheers!
Thank you for the video. I will say that sometimes people use these cameras with livestream setups. When I do that I have found that using video or extended video actually looks better on the stream. I just wanted to mention that since so many people are streaming these days.
This is the clearest and most concise walkthrough on basic set-up for this camera that I've seen. Thank you. xx 🙏🏼
Thank you for this detailed walkthrough ! Keep up the good work.
Thanks much for this concise and crisp video. This is one of the best BMPCC 4K walkthrough videos I came across in RUclips.
Thank you so much for taking your time and explaining all I needed to know bro. GOD Bless.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey, thank you for that Carl. That was really useful! Much love, keep it up :)

very useful.
Thank you, sir!
You're welcome :)
thanks for this helpful video. at 9:27 you said that if card is too slow and can't write fast enough, the camera will stop recording. So is it best to have the 'Stop Rec if card drops frame' button on or off ideally?
thanks bro
Thank you so much . Just got my camera today and it was a bit confusing coming from the GH5
No problem. Enjoy the camera! :)
thanks!
Thank you!
You're welcome 👍
Any recommendations on settings for streaming to RUclips? I have Olympus 12-40 mm f2.8 lens attached. Streaming in 1080p.
Thanks
Thank you!!!!
Thank u 💯🙏🏻
Hello, i have the canon ef 24mm 2.8 lens.. what would be the best set up?
Would the setting work for the blackmagic ursa
Thanks man! Now I’ll know exactly how to set up my camera! Question though, with the Sirui 35mm lens, what’s the perfect set up for that lens ?
Since the Sirui 35mm lens is a 1.33x anamorphic lens, make sure you have the "1.33x Anamorphic Desqueeze" option ticked in the menu. Under Monitor - Both - Second page. This way you'll be able to view it correctly in-camera.
@@carlscinema7086 thanks man ! Much appreciated
God bless bro
can i work settings with a extra monitor the original is wearing out
Thanks 🙏🏼
You're welcome 👍
@@carlscinema7086 what do you think about the npf battery plate set up ?
Can for sure be a viable option. Smaller and cheaper than v-mounts but can still have rather high capacities if you go for the bigger np-f970
@@carlscinema7086 yes I’m going to go for that set up
Many thank, Carl - that is so helpful, and stylishly done with the graphics and music.
Just been through your video and have a few questions if you have time:
• the focus ring on my Canon 10-18 isn't working on the camera. It works on my Canon cameras. The focus ring on other lenses is working on the BMPCC. Is it because of the adaptor I'm using? It's just a cheap one.
• there's no autofocus at all, pressing the button or touching the screen. Is this also an adaptor issue?
• Does the battery continue to charge when the camera is turned off?
• Do you know how to change the colour of the focus-assist?
Thanks again.
Does your adapter have any electronics (pins)? If not then the 10-18mm wont be able to focus, even in manual since the camera uses fly-by-wire focusing. When you use the focus ring you're not manually moving the focusing elements in the lens. You're sending a signal to the focus motor to move the elements. But if the lens has no power then it can't focus at all, even in manual due to the focus-by-wire.
@@carlscinema7086 thanks - there are no pins, and since I wrote this question above, I have now got a Viltrox speed booster. (This hasn’t actually solved the problem with the 10-18, but it has enabled IS on other lenses.)
Thanks again.
yo i shot in proxy but i can't get my footage off the c fast card
What settings would you Recommend for shooting with an Anamorphic lens for a film?
What´s the difference between project frame rate and off speed frame rate? I thought frame rate for cinema was always 24 fps. How should I set it?
Project frame rate is your base, what frame rate you want real time footage to be at. Often for cinema this is 24fps, if you live in Europe for example alot of content is 25fps such as tv-series and so on. Off speed (also known as over or under cranking) is a way of getting slow (or fast) motion. If you set it at 48fps when your base is 24 it will be slowed back down to 24fps, giving you half speed.
how do I take videos that I filmed on BMPCC into my computer. when I plug in my ssd the files are white pages that say "A001_08302142_C001.braw" am I doing something wrong?
The files ending in ".braw" are your clips shot in Braw, if you want to be able to play them outside of your editing software you have to download "Blackmagic RAW Player". Otherwise, just import them to Resolve for example.
@@carlscinema7086 thank you so much!
OK how about that USB plug? Can that be used directly to a computer?
Tôi mới mua 1 cái máy quay này, nhưng giao diện Menu cái máy của tôi không có 3 mục: 4k 2,4:1; 2,8K ânmorphic và 2,6K 16:9
I’ve been using the bmpcc4k for two weeks now without formatting the card since the beginning.
Do I need to format? Or what’s the purpose?
It's to clear the card from all footage. So once you have transferred everything to a hard drive (and possible backups) you can format the card in the camera to empty it. Highly recommend formatting in camera vs deleting files via the computer.

Welcome to the family!
my BMPCC4K bricked after 7.9 update. any suggestions?
Great video. Question: unless I missed it, what’s the S button on top of the camera? For me it changes the shutter angle. Very annoying. Can it be remapped?
Thats the shutter button and I don't think it can be remapped.
@@carlscinema7086 it changes shutter angle and not shutter speed on my end. Might be something to tweak
Theres a setting in the menu to change between angle and speed, i prefer angle though
Thx!!
How do I get it to display the battery % like you have? If I tap on the battery icon it gives the option of volts and another option that just shows the battery icon but not percentage.
Are you using internal or external power?
@@carlscinema7086 single internal battery.
Hmm, not sure. Might be that some batteries can't be read properly by the camera 🤔
Can we shoot 2.6k in 120 fps in braw format in this camera?
Yes, 06:51
15:40 Let me continue, because I m the oposit Idk a lot of cameras but on audio. 48 Volts (Phantompower) are necessary for condenser microphones. Because there is an inbuild condenser (like an energy field, where the audio signal goes through) it is necessary that it is turned on, otherwise these type of microphone doesn t work. But be careful ribbon mics can get destroyed through phantompower (48volts).
Hi great video. I have 6.9.1 update not sure why but i don't get 4k 2.4.1, 2.8k anamorpic and 2.6k 16.9 in proress can you help me with this? Do i need to update?
You're camera is working as it should. None of those modes are available in ProRes, those are Braw only. You can chose to use the 2.6K sensor area (next page) if you shoot in 1080p ProRes, aswell as 4K or HD sensor area.
@@carlscinema7086 okay thanks
Do you know if the update version has that option?
No, only in Braw. If you use an older firmware they wont be options at all. In firmware 6.6 they got added, but they are braw only.
@@carlscinema7086 Braw what's that?
how to change the director's name on the camera??
Swipe to the side (when not in the menu), select "Project" at the top, there you have a field for director.
@@carlscinema7086 oh wow lol so easy !! thanks man
I'm wondering where/how/why the glass bottle on the left disappeared... Easter egg? 🤙
@7:34 LOL ....yeah it is.
12:1 is the highest bitrate ?
Other way around. 12:1 is a higher compression ratio compared to 3:1, therefore 12:1 is a smaller file size with a lower bitrate.
@@carlscinema7086 so 3:1 is the highest ?
"Do you want to delete nooo?"
:D
:D
You know a tutorial is going to be great, when they don’t show their face lol, thank you!
can you preview your videos?
Yes 👍
@@carlscinema7086 what about photos?
Correction: the image stabilization is greyed out, but your lens could still have IS turned on, that you activate on the lens (like Panna Leica 12-60 lens). Awesome video though.
why are we whispering?
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
But did you hear him?
Boooooring smh 🤦🏻
Thank you!!
You're welcome 👍
