Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras now support vertical aspect ratio video, which makes it easier for users to create vertical content for TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Simply rotate the camera to shoot in vertical aspect ratios such as 9:16 and 4:5. On top of that, the camera’s head-up display (HUD) rotates according to its orientation, making it easy to view important information regardless of whether it is upside down or not. For different aspect ratios, frame guides can be activated to ensure that important details remain in the shot.
