Not only does the Black Magic Pocket Cinema camera 6K and 4K have in-camera desqueeze, but it does it automatically upon switching to one of the anamorphic modes, saving you wasted time on menu hunting. Previewing a de-squeezed image inside the camera is transformative for the run-and-gun experience, essentially allowing creative filmmakers to achieve the anamorphic look in a backpack form. Previously, this was possible through external HDMI or SDI monitors- though not all monitors had the feature.
