Viewfinder Settings
If you have Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera Pro EVF installed on your camera, the second
page of the ‘monitor’ tab includes some additional settings to select what is displayed on the
viewfinder. The ‘all’ button refers to settings for the LCD, HDMI output and viewfinder at the
same time.

Status Text
This setting can be useful to hide the status text and meters on the viewfinder, leaving only the
information necessary to compose or direct a shot. Tap the ‘status text’ switch to toggle the
appearance of status text and meters on the viewfinder. Overlays such as frame guides, grids,
focus assist and zebra remain visible, if enabled.
Display
Your viewfinder can display audio meters, codec and resolution information. Tap ‘meters’
or‘codec and resolution’ in the ‘viewfinder’ menu to select your preferred view.
Viewfinder Brightness
Allows adjustments for the brightness of the viewfinder display.
Focus Chart
The viewfinder has a built in focus chart so you can focus the eye piece to suit your eyes. The
diopter has an adjustment range of -4 to +4. Simply turn the focus diopter on the eyepiece until
the chart is in perfect focus.
Smooth Motion
This setting smooths the motion of fast moving images displayed by the viewfinder. It is
common to see judder when shooting at frame rates lower than 30p on a display that doesn’t
run at that native frame rate, especially when you see the display close up. Judders are
eliminated when you switch on ‘smooth motion’ with the shutter angle at 180º or less and the
frame rate set to 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 or 30p.
Both Monitor Settings 1
Monitor settings that affect the LCD and the HDMI output on Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and
Pocket Cinema Camera 4K are grouped in the ‘both’ menu. For example, setting ‘safe area
guide %’ to 90% in this menu sets the safe area guide to 90% for your camera’s LCD and HDMI
output. On Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, this menu is named ‘all’, referring to the LCD, HDMI
output and the EVF.
