The Blackmagic Camera 8.1 update implements the ability to shoot vertical videos (9:16, 4:5, etc.) using the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K G2/6K Pro cameras, e.g. for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc. The user interface also adapts to vertical shooting: frame rate information, guides and other data are displayed correctly. Also new are shooting single frames to Blackmagic RAW (instead of CinemaDNG) even during video recording/playback, wider Canon lens support for the 6K/6K G2/6K Pro variants (zoom support for Canon EF-S 18-135mm, ability to map Canon CN-E lens user button, finer aperture setting changes), support for the new Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K OLPF camera, as well as improved compatibility with Zeiss Milvus and Otus (EF) lenses for Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K.
