That’s good for me to get the most accurate Zebras and False Colour for example. For those who need to change it, consistency is always appreciated where feasible and relevant.
I agree for many people it wouldn't be an issue, but I do a huge variety of productions, live streaming, TV programs, nature, corporate, conferences and I find that film isn't always the correct choice for every job. It becomes noticeable when I sit the night before and set the cameras up for the next days shoot.
The BMPCC4K is an idiosyncrasy, I don't use it as much as the Ursa's but Brad is right, going by the previous explanations Video should be on the right as a cinema camera - yet it's the same as the Broadcast! That to me says there is no thinking behind the order, it's just different teams had different ideas.
I don't care which way round it is - just be consistent.
And I know - this is a really nerdy point and I say it a bit with tongue in cheek - but if you're listening Blackmagic....Please ....
