It includes the popular MFT lens mount, the 4K image sensor with very low light capabilities, and cinematic color science! Therefore, it is small but has the features of a full-sized studio camera. You also get 12G-SDI for HD and Ultra HD operation up to 2160p60. It's also possible to control the built-in color corrector and lens via the SDI and HDMI connections. You can even record Blackmagic RAW on USB disks.

Designed for live production
Designed with professional broadcast connections, the Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 is the perfect companion for all your television production needs. Whether you're working on a news segment, capturing live sports action, presenting educational programs, or even conducting services in a place of worship, this camera seamlessly integrates into any setting. Now, you can discreetly hide multiple cameras on stage without compromising the integrity of your shots, resulting in the most incredible and dynamic images your audience has ever seen.

Revolutionary studio camera design
Say goodbye to the days of bulky and cumbersome cameras that restricted your movements and creativity. The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera features all the benefits of a large studio camera in a small, rugged body that can be placed virtually anywhere. Its super-durable magnesium alloy core is packed into a compact body that is not much larger than the lens mount. This means you can now take your camera to places you never thought possible, capturing images that truly set you apart from the crowd.

Exceptional performance in low light conditions
But let's talk about ISO, the unit of measurement for a camera's sensitivity to light. With a higher ISO, you can easily shoot with natural light or even at night. And that's exactly what the Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera offers: a gain range from -12 dB (100 ISO) to +36 dB (25,600 ISO). Say goodbye to compromising on lighting and hello to capturing the true essence of the moment. But here's the icing on the cake: the primary native ISO of 400 is perfect for studio lighting, ensuring sharp shots at all times. And when you're out and about, the secondary high base ISO of 3200 will come to your rescue in low-light environments. Take full control of your camera's gain by adjusting it from the convenient HDMI menu or even remotely from a switcher using the SDI/HDMI camera remote.

Get cinematic images in live production!
What sets this camera apart from the competition is the built-in DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector. Say goodbye to simple broadcast cameras and hello to incredibly vibrant, professional-level images that will leave your audience breathless. And the best part? The color corrector can be effortlessly controlled from your switcher, putting the power of impeccable image control at your fingertips. With an impressive 13-stop dynamic range, the Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera ensures that recordings have an unprecedented level of depth and dimension. From the deepest blacks to the brightest whites, every detail will be captured with astonishing clarity. This means color correction becomes a breeze, allowing you to effortlessly enhance and refine your images to perfection.

Affordable photographic lenses!
Designed with affordability and versatility in mind, this innovative camera is compatible with a wide range of MFT lenses from popular brands like Olympus, Panasonic, and Sigma. Say goodbye to the sky-high prices of specialized lenses, because with the Micro Studio Camera, you can achieve impressive image quality using affordable photographic lenses that are specifically designed for high-resolution photography.

Embedded counting for the state in the air
Say goodbye to the stressful guessing game of which camera is on the air. The Micro Studio Camera 4K features a unique tally light that illuminates red for on-air, green for preview, and orange for ISO recording. Now, your talent can perform with full confidence, knowing at a glance which camera is in use. This revolutionary feature is designed to make your on-air presentation smoother, easier, and more professional. But that's not all: the camera also offers full support for the SDI and HDMI tally protocol from top-of-the-line mixers like ATEM Television Studio, ATEM Constellation, and ATEM Mini. This means your director can effortlessly switch between cameras, and the tally information will be sent back to the camera, lighting up the tally light whenever it's on air. Therefore, you can focus on bringing your creative vision to life without worrying about complex wiring.

Powerful streaming connections
The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K model features a wide array of connections for connecting to broadcasting equipment. It has 12G-SDI that supports video, tally, and camera return, making setup much faster. It includes a full-sized HDMI connector for local video monitoring, allowing you to connect a monitor like the Blackmagic Video Assist to change settings via the menu overlay or check the position of a remote camera. It also has a USB-C expansion port to record to external drives or control the camera through zoom and focus demands. You can even connect a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to control the camera over a network via REST API. Additionally, there's a 3.5mm port for connecting a microphone.

Two ways to connect
Thanks to its HDMI compatibility, this camera pairs perfectly with HDMI switchers like the ATEM Mini. Gone are the days of struggling with multiple cables, as a single HDMI cable is all you need to unleash a world of possibilities. Video triggering, tally, control, and even recording are effortlessly transmitted through this single connection, providing you with an optimized and professional workflow. But wait, there's more! The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera doesn't stop there when it comes to connectivity. Equipped with 12G-SDI, this camera is ready to connect with SDI-based switchers like the ATEM Constellation. The possibilities are endless with not one, but two 12G-SDI connections. One for the camera video and the other for program return, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted data flow.

Includes built-in microphones
What sets this camera apart from the rest? Well, the built-in microphones are strategically placed for optimal stereo separation, providing you with top-notch audio quality like never before. And for those moments when you need an even more professional sound, you just have to connect a video microphone to the 3.5 mm audio input, and voila: you have a powerful and directional audio source with wind protection.

USB-C for external drives and Ethernet control
With the Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K model, you can record your adventures directly onto external USB disks in stunning 12-bit Blackmagic RAW files. This means you can simply move the disk to your computer and start editing without wasting precious time on file transfers. It's a game changer, and you'll wonder how you managed without it. Thanks to the USB-C to Ethernet adapter, you can easily control your camera over a network using our easy-to-use REST APIs. Imagine the convenience of adjusting settings, framing shots, and capturing that perfect moment from the comfort of your smartphone or tablet. It's like having your own personal camera assistant at your fingertips.

Incredible Blackmagic RAW quality
Blackmagic RAW is a new and revolutionary format designed to capture and preserve the quality of camera sensor data. Some file formats, like H.264, are highly compressed, which adds noise and artifacts, causing sensor details to be lost forever. Blackmagic RAW eliminates this problem, resulting in stunning images with incredible detail and vibrant colors throughout the post-production process. Blackmagic RAW also saves the camera settings as metadata, allowing you to change the ISO, white balance, and exposure later in DaVinci Resolve. Additionally, the files are small and fast, so the editing responsiveness is incredible. Only Blackmagic RAW offers the highest quality, the smallest files, and the fastest performance.
