2 cameras Pocket 4K - 2 different colors on the screens ?

PostSun Nov 27, 2022 7:27 pm

I have 2 Blackmagic Pocket 4K cameras.

These are working perfectly fine, but the colors on the LCDs are different. Note that the video files are looking the same, so the issue is within the monitors, not the recording.

So both cameras were updated to 7.9.1 and all settings are set the same.

One camera screen shows green-ish colors and the other camera screen shows pink-ish colors.

I am not sure which one is more natural, but I do not care. All I want is to have these 2 monitors to match.

Is there any way to calibrate / set colors of the a Pocket LCD monitor?

Ok so I used the screen calibration option in the menu and now the greenish display has reset to more closely match the pinkish one. I did not use any fancy tricks, just moved the sliders a bit and then hit "reset". I guess the factory settings on this calibration menu are good enough. :)

Many issues have already been "resolved" in this forum before. Using the search function is a good idea and could solve other issues you may have about cameras or the Resolve editing program.
