Camera Overview — Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro 4.6K

The Blackmagic URSA Mini Cinema Camera is a professional cinema camera built around a Super 35 sensor capable of capturing footage at up to 4.6K resolution (4608 x 2592). It records in 12-bit CinemaDNG RAW and ProRes 444, giving colorists substantial latitude in post-production, and supports frame rates up to 60fps at 4.6K and up to 300fps at 1080p for high-speed shooting. The camera uses a Canon EF lens mount, offering access to a wide range of compatible optics.

Storage is handled via CFast 2.0 and SD card slots, providing flexibility in media choice across productions. On the operational side, the URSA Mini features a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display, making menu navigation and monitoring straightforward on set. Connectivity includes USB, USB-C, and a microphone jack, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are absent.

The camera relies on manual focus exclusively, with no autofocus system present. Image stabilization is not built into the body. Color science is handled through DaVinci Color Science at the photo/stills level, aligning naturally with DaVinci Resolve-based post workflows.

With a fixed ISO of 3200, exposure must be managed primarily through lens aperture and lighting.
