Storage Media; Cfast Cards - Blackmagicdesign Pocket Cinema Camera 4K User's Installation And Operation Manual

Storage Media

Your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K uses standard SD cards, faster UHS-II SD cards or
CFast 2.0 cards to record video.
Using the USB-C expansion port, you can also connect high capacity USB-C flash disks
for increased recording times.

CFast Cards

CFast 2.0 cards are capable of supporting very high data rates, so are perfect for recording
HD and 4K video at high frame rates. Refer to the record duration tables in the 'recording'
section for details on the maximum frame rates that can be recorded in each format.
NOTE CFast 2.0 cards are generally high speed cards, though some cards have
slower write speeds compared to read speeds, and maximum data rates can differ
between models. For reliable recording with your chosen frame rates, use only the
cards recommended by Blackmagic Design.
Inserting a CFast Card
To insert a CFast card:
1
Open the side door on the right side to access the media slots.
2 Insert the CFast card into the CFast card slot until you feel it lock into place. The card
should insert easily without the need for excessive force. To remove a CFast card,
gently push the CFast card towards the camera, then release to eject it.
The storage information at the bottom of the LCD touchscreen will show the name and
record time remaining of the detected CFast card.
Choosing a CFast 2.0 Card
When working with high data rate video it's important to carefully check the CFast card that
you would like to use. This is because CFast 2.0 cards have different read and write speeds.
Some cards can record sustained RAW video, and some are suited to compressed recording
using ProRes and compressed RAW formats.
For the most up to date information on supported CFast cards, please refer to the
