Launch the Blackmagic Camera Setup utility and follow the on screen prompts to update the
camera software. The camera restarts on the ‘select language’ screen. It’s important to note
that updating your camera software erases any presets and custom LUTs, and resets all
settings. It is a good practice to export them to a memory card as a backup before performing a
software update. After a software update, you can restore your presets and LUTs quickly by
importing them from the memory card.
Using a Battery Grip
Adding a battery grip to your Pocket Cinema Camera adds a horizontal handle and is a portable
way to extend the duration of your shooting sessions. If you have a battery grip then it’s a good
idea to install it now before you continue.
Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip is designed for Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro and
holds two NP-F570 batteries. You can power Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro from its internal
battery in conjunction with both batteries in the grip.
The Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Grip is designed to fit Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and
Pocket Cinema Camera 4K models. It holds two NP-F570 L-Series batteries so you can shoot
continuously for over two hours.
The 12 V DC input can recharge the batteries in the grip or provide uninterrupted power to the
camera while changing the batteries. You can use the USB-C port to recharge batteries in the
grip while the camera is switched off.
Attaching Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip
Before you start attaching Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip to your Pocket Cinema
Camera 6K Pro, switch off your camera and unplug any external power source. For maximum
running time, you are advised to keep the internal battery inside Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro
when you install Pocket Camera Battery Pro Grip and power your camera from all three batteries.
