Previous firmware: v6.5. Important information from Blackmagic Design if you are updating:
For updating URSA Mini, URSA Broadcast and Pocket Cinema Camera 4K from Camera 4.0 or above it is advisable to export your presets and LUTs onto a card as they will be removed during this update.
While installing Camera Update on Pocket Cinema Camera 4K you may notice a pause around the 70% mark in the install process, this is normal. Please do not power off the camera as it may still be in the middle of the update process. When the update is completed, the camera will restart into its normal operating state.
