I wish they would come out with autofocus camera. It would make my life so much easier. I help film and sometimes I miss focus. It’s hard for me to tell. So I would really appreciate an autofocus camera
As a camera company saying "we're aware of it and looking into it" is the best damn answer you can give. That is all we as customers can expect from the company. Them doing their best to implement it to their own standards and not just a money grab by implementing tech simply for the sake of customers wanting it.
Look at the URSA Cine 12K, they already are able to map the focus marks using AI from a manual lens. So they already have distance information, the next step is to create a vision system + follow focus to complete autofocus.
i thing Blackmagic can skip on sensor phase detection and jump to LiDAR. DJI LiDAR is good but it requires so many parts to get working. if black magic can have something as simple as the older DJI 3d focus unit but tightly integrated that would be great
If they could integrate that in a more streamlined way than DJI currently does, it would absolutely shake up the current(somewhat stale) camera market.
@EricShaquille all other camera company has on sensor AF for better or worse i feel that Lidar works where on sensor AF usually fail. The first company that have in body Lidar or get the two system working together in harmony. That would be a dream
As of Q1 2025, there's little reason to use a BMPCC except for the built-in ND. Because the Nikon Z6 III can do almost everything BMPCC 6K can do, except it's full frame and with fast and reliable subject detection autofocus. I think you'll be waiting at least 4 years to catch up with the Nikon's autofocus, and that's a best case, optimistic scenario even if Blackmagic put a big investment into autofocus. Take your pick, built in ND or Autofocus.
When shooting N-Raw, its dynamic range is a legitimate stop or 2 less than the majority of the competition. You can get some of that back with noise reduction in post, but for me, the conversation ends there.
I think tge answer for BMD is to make an Add-On Lidar. Keep tge camera price down for Those tgat dont want ir need autofocus, but an affordavle way to add it. The appeal of BM cameras is tgey are an affordable body that you can trick oyt witg unique and intresting glass..Give me a lidar sensor I can hook up to a motor for my lens.. across any abd all tgeir cameras and then just make it buolt in on you lr next Ursas and Pyxis
It honestly felt like ..We know our AutoFocus sucks …. We are seriously looking into it
"Don't leave! It's coming, we swear!"
What autofocus?
They’ve gotten so good at everything else they finally have time to work on auto focus 😂
Everyone will be upset when BM cameras cost as much as everyone else.
That's what all the cimplainers forget !

I love your videos

Integrating a follow focus system with the ability to autofocus is absolutely the way to go when implementing it into a Cinema camera.
How about add remote control to android blackmagic app?
Yeah, I don't get why they didn't roll that feature out at the same time as the apple firmware
@@EricShaquille Android is an afterthought.
That will probably happen eventually

I feel like it's either going to be blackmagic or dji, a follow focus with optional AF is the way to go for a cinema camera.

Is z6iii really on par in terms of the look? Noise looks like a big problem

If its still...LPE6 battery I'll be mad 🤣
There's no was they're gonna make that mistake again... right?...
