Nearly three years after it launched, Blackmagic has added phase detect autofocus (PDAF) and a set of object detection tracking modes to the Cinema Camera 6K, which significantly ups the value of the video camera. The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K launched in September of 2023 with a full-frame 6K image sensor and with the Leica L-Mount. Firmware version 10.2.2 not only adds PDAF support, it also adds continuous autofocus support with both object detection and face detection algorithms, dragging the camera into the modern age. Along with these mainline autofocus features, the Cinema Camera 6K also adds support for autofocus transition speeds and the ability to assign autofocus modes to shortcut keys. Without autofocus, the Cinema Camera 6K would have a difficult time competing against the latest cameras from Panasonic Lumix, Sony, Canon, and Nikon.
