The upcoming Firmware upgrade will allow for users to shoot anamorphic at 2.8K Central.

Blackmagic had us so busy showing off a bunch of great new products, and a host of new software features, that nobody really noticed a firmware update coming for the 4K Pocket Cinema Camera. And with it comes not only the ability to shoot anamorphic at almost 3K resolution, but it also supports for framing where the image gets cropped. While Blackmagic has yet to reveal the timing on the firmware upgrade, it’s a significant one that will make shooting for filmmakers more effective in the long term.
