Ha..btw there is no FPN fix for this FW release. Next one maybe. Guess it won't be easy fix otherwise it shouldn't take sooooo long.

The other user will not agree with you haha. Btw they have too many camera which one of the reason why they took so long to fix. So what you want with bmpcc2?

So in other words, those who have downloaded the leaked version might have messed up their cameras??

Nope, mine seems fine. In fact it doesn't seem any different besides some prettier menus...

Good morning:

This is not a software release we have approved. We don't support it and it should not be installed on cameras. We will definitely let you know officially when the new firmware will be available to download.

Funny...it was originally found on their website apparently.

Saw this link on a fb group if anyone wants to try (Mac version):

Just updated a BMCC with the new firmware.

The bottom half of the screen is now flickering very badly! The screen was fine before the update.

Anyone else getting this? Thinking I might downgrade back.


EDIT: Just turned the camera on again and the flickering has gone. Classic Blackmagic.
