menu, then tap the relevant arrows and icons with your finger.
Camera ID
If using more than one Blackmagic URSA or URSA Mini, it's helpful to set each camera's ID which will
be included with any metadata recorded with your clips. Set the 'camera ID' with the touchscreen
keyboard. Select 'enter' to save your camera ID, or 'cancel' to discard any changes.
Setting Date and Time
To set date and time on your Blackmagic URSA, tap the + or - icons to change the year, month and
day settings.
Time is set to 24 hour format. To set the time, tap the + and - icons to make adjustments.
If traveling with your Blackmagic URSA, remember to change the date and time to local time zones.
If you have your Blackmagic URSA stored for long periods, the time may need to be reset. It is always
a good idea to check the time and date prior to recording. When connecting your camera to your
computer via USB and launching Blackmagic Camera Setup utility, Blackmagic URSA's time is synced
to your computer time.
ISO
To adjust the ISO settings, tap the ISO arrow icons.
ISO settings are helpful when you are shooting in a variety of light conditions. The optimum ISO
setting for your Blackmagic URSA or URSA Mini is ISO 400.
Depending on your situation, however, you may choose a lower or higher ISO setting. For example, in
low light conditions ISO 800 can be suitable but may introduce some visible noise. In bright conditions
ISO 200 can provide richer colors.
