Dynamic Range
Blackmagic Cameras have two dynamic range settings:
Film
The film setting shoots video using a log curve and gives you 13 stops of dynamic range, or 12 stops
on Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. The 'film' dynamic range setting maximizes the information
in your video signal to help you get the most out of color grading software, such as DaVinci Resolve.
When recording in CinemaDNG RAW formats, only the film dynamic range setting is available.
The 'recording' settings screen.
On Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera the 'recording'
settings are located in the 'camera' settings.
