Blackmagic Design is no stranger to surprises, and they often hide gems. Today while playing with the new firmware, I realized that not only have they rewritten the focus system making it more performant, but this information is written and inserted inside the scene metadata.

For those of you who are less technical, accustomed to certain technicalities, I point out how now those who have to manage the focus with automatic lenses, in the metadata have been given the gift of measurements…. I pressed on the focus and I get back the depth of field where to work with the subject calculated between focal length, aperture and focus distance, no small feat…
