Blackmagic Releases Cinema Camera Firmware 1.2, Includes Aperture Display, exFAT, and More


This is a brief excerpt from NoFilmSchool




While we got a sort of non-update a few weeks ago about shipping improving but not quite in full volume yet, it’s clear that more and more people are getting their cameras every day, especially those who pre-ordered very early. We knew this firmware update was coming, but now version 1.2 for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera has arrived without much fanfare — though anyone that has used the camera knows some of these features are incredibly important. Click through for more on the update.

Here are the new features in this firmware version:

New option for time-lapse recording in the Recorder settings

exFAT file system support

F-stop values are displayed when using compatible EF lenses

SDI output now supports RP-188 timecode

Support for Thunderbolt on Windows

These are currently the time-lapse options in the camera (thanks to Randy in the Blackmagic forum):

Frames: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Seconds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60

Minutes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10


I’ve talked about most of my issues with the camera as is, and this does fix a few of the major ones. Seeing your aperture on the display was absolutely essential for the EF mount version of the camera, as it is next to impossible to shoot quickly and efficiently when you have no idea …
