You can get that “cinematic” look from photography cameras.

to get exactly the right shot they need in post. If you were to zoom in on 4K footage that you also planned to distribute in 4K, however, you’d lose detail.

This technique works anytime you shoot in a resolution higher than you plan to export in. For example, I shootin 4K but distribute in 1080p so I can have this flexibility. However, with my D7500—and many cameras that aren’t designed primarily for video—there’s no option to shoot in any higher resolution than 4K. If I wanted to distribute videos in 4K, I couldn't use these same editing tricks.

Blackmagic’s camera, on the other hand, has recording options ranging from 2.8K—which is slightly higher than 1080p and gives you plenty of room to crop or stabilize without having to deal with full 4K file sizes—all the way up to 6K, which provides that same flexibility even if you plan to distribute 4K video. Until technology reaches a point where 8K video distribution becomes more normalized, chances are good you’ll have more than you need for a long time to come.

, but no matter what your definition is, you’ll need control over your picture to get it. If, for example, you want your project to be in the anamorphic widescreen format that some movies have, you can either add black bars over your project in post, or shoot in anamorphic widescreen natively . Fortunately, there are some things your cinema camera can do that won’t require special lenses. Slow-motion footage, for example, is easier to get when your camera is capable of recording up to 240 frames per second, as the BMPCC I tested can. Most traditional photography cameras aren’t designed to handle such high frame rates.
