It is great to see all of that detail I was seeing was actually captured in those shots.” When I look at those shots now, I am really impressed at how good the dynamic range is. I understand this gives more in dynamic range, so you have a little bit more highlight-headroom there. We were shooting these scenes later in the afternoon, so I was at ISO1000 or 1250, so it was at the lower ISO for this camera. “The whole point to this daylight test was to see how the camera handled skin tones. ‘Models Walking in Daylight’ is his first camera test where he checked out the camera’s ability to handle different skin tones. John Brawley talks about the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K for the first time. In fact, I would argue it is Blackmagic’s best screen yet.”

And, the colors too on the screen, were also nicely represented.

The screen is big and bright enough to use in daylight, which I found great for judging focus and exposure. The weight of the camera is very liberating, especially when you are used to using larger camera systems. “I had the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K for only a few days, but overall I was really impressed by it. I feel most cameras would likely struggle with this scene.” By increasing the ISO to an impressive 12, it allowed me to capture the dark moss-lined walls and unique emerald color, yet also hold onto the highlight detail of the top of the waterfall and sky. I was really interested in seeing how the new sensor would handle these harsh lighting conditions. “The camera tests I wanted to do were in the forests and waterfalls on the outer West Coast of Canada. ‘Nature’ is Mark’s test of the camera’s 4K performance in the extreme lighting conditions of rainforests and ravines. Mark Wyatt talks about using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.
