I think this is something for Blackmagic to look into. It has less banding in blue skies as well, evidently. Cinema DNG looks more like raw to me – it grades more like raw, it doesn’t have any heavy processing, it doesn’t have any noise reduction, it maintains the fine grain of film and it delivers high ISO noise in a more analogue looking way. However it’s clear it’s not going to be coming back, so those who are running the original firmware with Cinema DNG on the Pocket 4K might want to hang on to it, or choose perpetually whether to keep it or lose it.įor me, the advantages of BRAW aren’t in the image quality department, from what I’ve seen. In my opinion I doubt Cinema DNG by itself was the legal issue, but maybe the combination of Cinema DNG technology and the camera processing for it infringed one of RED’s patents… That’s just my speculation though. Unfortunately Blackmagic had to remove Cinema DNG from the camera due to legal reasons. Since the BRAW codec update, various users have been claiming it’s a backward step for the film-look of lossless Cinema DNG raw. Anecdotal evidence say the camera is suffering from macro-blocking and banding in blue skies which you don’t expect to see with a 10bit codec let alone a RAW codec.
