Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera now supports RAW video for better dynamic range

After releasing its $995 Pocket Cinema Camera last summer with ProRes422 support only, Blackmagic Design has finally unleashed RAW CinemaDNG video recording with a firmware update. The format losslessly compresses each frame like a .zip file to capture 1080p video from the Super 16mm sensor -- the same one that's on the original Cinema Camera. That preserves the full fidelity of the video stream, letting cinematographers save files with more dynamic range for increased flexibility during color correction. That's not to say that ProRes422 is shabby, as we saw from earlier footage -- but shooters who want RAW in a small form factor now have a way without hacking (and possibly bricking) a Canon DSLR.
