Blackmagic Design has announced a Camera 10.2.2 update for the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K. Among other improvements, it adds support for phase detect autofocus, making it easier to keep subjects in focus, even as they move, with options added for continuous autofocus, object tracking, or face tracking modes. This update also adds support for Blackmagic Cloud stream routing. This allows for routing a live stream from the camera directly into your studio, or stream to multiple platforms at the same time using Blackmagic Cloud.

In addition, this update adds support for up to 10 minutes pre-record on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K. Now users can record up to 10 minutes of action before they press the record button. The pre-record function lets the camera continuously record to the media card, ensuring that any unexpected event will never be missed. By only saving what’s needed, pre-record also helps reduce storage use because even though you are constantly recording, only the section before you press record until you cut is preserved.

Also included in this update is support for 4 channel audio recording allowing two additional audio channels which is ideal for interviews, live events or documentaries where separate mics for talent, ambient sound or scratch tracks are desired, all perfectly synced within the video file.
