Max Field Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hey could any Pocket 6K owners confirm how/if the 6K crops when shooting in 4K? Or does it scan the whole imager and downsize? Or do the every other section thing? I really want to get as much footage as possible and don't really need 6K or anything. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Brereton Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 As far as I can tell from the user manual, 6k is first windowed down to 5.7k (5744 x 3024) then scaled down to 4K, so it sounds like you lose a little of the sensor area initially. This assumes you are shooting 4K DCI. If you’re actually shooting UHD 16:9, it’s scaled directly from the 6k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what shooting modes are blocked off when recording with only an SD card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Jin Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 This is only the case for prores, but for braw there is no 4k option yet, only 5.7k and 2.8k for slow mo. and even if there is a 4k option it will be cropped 1.5x for 1:1 pixel readout on top of the 1.55x crop of the apsc sensor. Because braw can't supersample information out of a cmos bayer sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
