The 12-60 is a bit better than the Olympus in the wide end, but the big issue in general is the 12-17mm. The 18mm Canon's I tried were a lot better. Thank you very much for the recommendation. The camera was tilting up a bit on the original which was making the distortion look even more pronounced so I've re-done it. They are now closer but the Tamron still shades it if you move it in to 17-18mm so it matches the FOV of the Panasonic and the distortion is actually reduced a bit further. For added context, I have included a Canon 16-35mm f2.8 L lens (on the speed booster) for comparison and well.........

CaptainHook Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Apologies, it is indeed 75 fps. The text I posted was old and before we had confirmed the final FPS we could achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanuel Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Done. Just tested and right in time for a shooting scheduled for tonight. Thanks. A few AF tests performed with a cheap Lumix 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 in low light (6:45PM in Western Europe right now) EXT-INT (street buildings from town landscape to a monitor LCD inside the office only a few feet over there). Fast as a shark and damned accurate in any of my early tests. Much impressed and really improved. Looks like a different camera unit... 75 -> 25 fps adds something there as well. My fav modes from now on. Anamorphic modes, oh well, no need for additional comments. Any of this for the 6K model as well? Absolutely... perfect update : P Kudos to you BMD, you're definitely the camera manufacturer number one in 2019 -- who shoots with a Blackmagic won't want to look back ever again... what a tool! And a joy to play with : ) Simply anyone can operate with one. Easier than any of the usual suspects with those nonsense labyrinth menus totally unfriendly to the sake of the art. This is the way!

christrad Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hi, I'm an idiot! I thought the update was quick and did it with a battery! I know...and I hate myself. Of course, the update take a long time and the battery died during the process. Now when turning the pocket 4k on, the screen remain black and the update utility doesn't recognize it anymore. The blue light on the left front is blincking but that's all. So, I was thinking about maybe a reset of the camera but I can't find anything on the net about how to do it. Any help? Even for a fool like me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for a fool like me? Hi @christrad I read a post on BMD's forum yesterday.. POST... "My camera update went til 70%, once there all the usb devices disconnected and windows showed a "can't recognize the usb device" it was stuck and it wouldn't show any activity. Now, the camera doesn't power on and the front recording led is blinkg in white. ¿Is there any way to reset the camera? or it is a brick now EDIT: I sent a mail to BM support and they answered right away with the solution: copy of the response, in case anyone needs it: Confirm that the camera is still connected via USB, switch the power to OFF then back ON. Immediately after powering ON, hold down the Focus Button (the one with the crosshairs) for about 10 seconds. This should put the camera into recovery mode and allow it to show up in the software and allow you to run the update again." POST END Hope this helps, otherwise contact BMD yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have this lens. Image stabilization works very well. It's controlled by the camera and by default is ON. You can turn it off in the menu (Setup). Am sure was mentioned before but IS on BMPCC 4K works only when you start recording if you are using the internal battery. Obviously this is made to preserve the battery which doesn't last long. If you use external battery IS works all the time before recording and during recording. During firmware upgrade was also stuck at 70% but after some time camera said upgrade finished and it works OK. That was my second try. First try disconnected by accident the USB cable. But after re connection was able to start upgrade from scratch and finish it successfully. So in my understanding firmware upgrade is well thought out. But new firmware 6.6 broke (again) Viltrox speed booster functionality. Aperture and IS don't work with Viltrox firmware version 2.3 neither with version 3.3.☹️ wyrlyn and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
