Feature request: Software rack focus on BMPCC4K
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2020 5:56 pm
Hey all! I recently switched to Xperia 1 smartphone mainly for its 4K display and LDAC capability but its got this Cinema Pro app which impressed me a lot than I thought it would. I'm not gonna dive into what all it offers since it's just a phone first, but there is one feature which i'd love to have on my BMPCC4K and that is the software optimized rack focus.
You can tap focus (or manually set) a point and mark it with A/B and choose another focus point to A/B. Then while recording you can just hit a button to switch focus points. We can set the rack timing as well! I know and I'm not complaining about the absence of auto focus on BMPCC but this software addition would be very handy to have especially when you are out and about with no proper gear around.
What do you guys think? I'm sure Blackmagic can add this with software update. No hardware needed.
Here's how it works
