Previously, this was possible through external HDMI or SDI monitors- though not all monitors had the feature. The Panasonic GH5 was such a revolutionary camera because of the ability for anamorphic de-squeeze in camera. ![]() For more information on un-squeezing anamorphic footage, see our article here. The following resolutions are available for the 6K and the 4K for shooting anamorphic, along with their resulting size for editing. Near-simultaneously with the release of the 6K, the 4k has now long-awaited 6:5 anamorphic mode through a firmware update. Generally, shooting square source footage with anamorphic lenses is better, as it gives you more flexibility to choose a more moderate final scope, while still retaining the deep anamorphic character of 2x anamorphic lenses. Super35 was roughly 4:3 in aspect ratio (1.33) and 6:5 (1.2) is even more square. Anamorphic lenses were originally used to entice viewers with a wider image while still using Super35 film stock. With the release of the Blackmagic 6K camera comes the same 6:5 anamorphic mode present in previous cameras like the Ursa Mini. THE BENEFITS Blackmagic 6:5 Anamorphic Mode Considering we waited over a year for our Pocket 4k, this is a welcome achievement. And the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k is one of the best packages for shooting with anamorphic lenses available today. Perhaps- but over the years- the gap between Panasonic’s higher end DSLR-bodied offerings and Black Magic’s cinema cameras has gotten closer and closer.
