The much anticipated Blackmagic Cinema Camera has finally been making its way from the production line into the hands of consumers.

The company has just released the new 1.2 Firmware that includes time-lapse recording, aperture indicator when using compatible EF lenses, ExFAT formatting for SSD disks, SDI output support for RP-188 timecode and Thunderbolt support for Windows.

The available time-lapse settings are as follows:

  • Frames: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
  • Seconds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
  • Minutes: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

We think people are probably most excited about the new time-lapse feature as well as the aperture indicator. It’s also a good sign that Blackmagic has been so on top of these firmware updates. It really speaks volumes about the company and its commitment to making a quality product with all the features that filmmakers would like to see. Hopefully, the next update will give the camera the ability to erase clips from the SSD.

If you have the camera and need to update, you can find the new firmware here.
