Blackmagic Design recently released a firmware update for its full-frame Cinema Camera 6K: Blackmagic Camera 8.3.2. This firmware update improves the overall reliability. Also, Blackmagic RAW has been updated to version 3.4, adding support for the BCC6K and BRAW clips shot with the FUJIFILM GFX100 II.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K was introduced in September 2023 and features a new full-frame 6K image sensor, a Leica L-Mount instead of a Canon EF mount used on the previous BMPCC 6K/6K Pro, a 5″ touchscreen that can tilt, and now records onto CFexpress Type B memory cards instead of SD/CFast 2.0 cards.

The first full-frame cinema camera from Blackmagic Design will officially hit the retailers’ shelves and users worldwide by the end of this month. It sounds like a couple of cameras are already out in the field and in the hands of select camera shooters to give feedback to Blackmagic Design. Ahead of mass production and delivery, Blackmagic released a Camera 8.3.2 update that fixes some issues.
