Guide Opacity
: Aspect ratios are displayed as mattes on the top and bottom of your touch screen
and fold out monitor. You can adjust the opacity of the matte by adjusting the 'guide opacity' setting.
For example, if you prefer to view your guides as solid mattes, select 100%. Alternatively, if you would
like to view guides at maximum transparency, set the guide opacity to 25%.
Remote Settings
Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera's 'remote' settings are used to configure the S.Bus and PWM
channels connected to the expansion port. For example, if the dial on your remote controller is
assigned to S.Bus channel 2 and you want to control the 'zoom' feature of the camera with that dial,
assign S.Bus 2 to 'zoom' in the 'remote' settings menu.
In remote settings, you can change the channel input configuration for the following controls:
REC start/stop
Iris, focus and zoom control using compatible lenses
ISO settings
Shutter angle settings
White balance settings
Audio level adjustments
To configure an input channel, select your desired S.Bus or PWM channel next to each control feature.
See the 'Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera Expansion Port and Expansion Cable' section for more
information about the expansion port and its specific connections.

audio to assist when setting optimum exposure, checking how much space is left on your media,
and to prevent your audio from clipping.

by swiping down. On the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, press the 'up' directional button to
