3 X Magnification on URSA Viewfinder and Camera

PostThu Apr 25, 2019 7:43 am

Hi Blackmagic.

Please can you look into a firmware update that would enable us to zoom in closer to the image (3 X Magnification) through both the URSA LCD display and the URSA Viewfinder. I don't find the current 2X magnification is sufficient in helping the user determine what is in and out of focus- particularly when shooting in 4.6K- when the intention is to punch in to the image in post. I do use the the other focus assist tools but have been a little disappointed with the results sometimes. Would be really good if we could really see a forensic image.

It's something the Fs7 can do and I find it really gives gives the user certainty when it comes nailing focus. perfect focus.

This may well be something you have looked into- please let me know in that case.

Thanks so much,

Ric

This would probably require a hardware upgrade, as it did to get 2X zoom in on the AF100A, but Incase it can be done with a simp,e FW update, I will throw my hat into the ring to get 3X on the BMD EVF, and Ursa Broadcast, +1.
