How do I check a new BMCC 4K for sensor issues?

[oferlevy]

Hi all,

 

After getting some good advice in here I have decided to bite the bullet and buy the BMCC 4K.

 

I have read there are 'good' samples and 'bad' samples of this camera when it comes to sensor performance.

 

Please can anyone let me know how can I check the sensor as soon as I get the camera in order to see whether I got a 'good' one?

 

What should I look for (dead pixels, excessive noise in a specific channel etc.) ?

 

Appreciate any advice.

 

Cheers,

You're probably talking about the fixed pattern noise issue, which is supposed to have been solved in the latest firmware update.

Thanks. I am actually not talking about the FPN which is a known general issue of this camera. I am talking about defects specific to a specific camera and are not a general issue like dead pixels, excessive noise in a specific channel or anything else that I am not even aware of but can be present in a 'bad' sample.
