Mastering Your Black and White LUT for BMPCC 4K

As a filmmaker, you know that achieving the perfect shot can be a challenge, especially when working with a camera like the BMPCC4K. With its incredible 4K resolution and advanced features, this camera is a dream come true for many cinematographers. However, navigating its settings and features can be overwhelming, which is why we've put together a comprehensive guide to help you master your black and white LUT.

The first step in mastering your black and white LUT is understanding the different types of grades available for the BMPCC4K. Our pack includes 5 daytime and 3 nighttime grades that can help you achieve the desired look for your project. For example, the EADWOOD grade is perfect for outdoor shots, with muted blues and rich orange and magenta tones that are ideal for skin tones on sunny days.

Once you've chosen your LUT, it's time to convert your footage to Rec709. This can be done in a fairly non-destructive way using the Effects menu on the top left of your camera screen. From there, you can adjust the temperature of your footage to achieve the desired look.

But what if you forgot to reset the white balance to match your environment? Fear not! The BMPCC4K has a built-in auto white balance feature that can help you remedy this issue. Simply select the Master section on the top left of your camera screen and adjust the camera's temperature in post-production using software like Adobe Premiere Pro.

The BMPCC4K also includes multiple white balance presets that represent many different situations you may encounter while shooting. These presets are persistent, meaning they will stay configured between power cycles and after switching to a preset. If you're shooting in the same environment often, you can even create custom white balance settings using the camera's advanced features.

When creating your own white balance settings, make sure to place something white in the frame to ensure accurate results. You can then select the update white balance option and the camera will automatically set the white balance for you.

For quick access to this feature, simply press and hold the white balance button on your camera. The box in the middle of the screen will appear, allowing you to adjust the white balance settings with ease.

In addition to its auto white balance feature, the BMPCC4K also includes a manual white balance option that allows you to adjust the white balance settings for specific scenes or situations. To access this option, simply tap the arrows on either side of the white balance number and select one of three options: 3200K, 5600K, or custom.

In conclusion, mastering your black and white LUT for the BMPCC4K requires a combination of understanding the different types of grades available, converting your footage to Rec709, adjusting the temperature in post-production, and using the camera's advanced features to achieve the desired look. With these tips and tricks, you'll be well on your way to creating stunning black and white footage that will elevate your next project.
