and then I took the camera out on an important shoot and ran into this clip freeze.Īt first I chalked it up to a non-approved card I updated to try out their new RTMP stream built right into camera.which works flawlessly. but this issue where the camera freezes is something I've been dealing with on my Broadcast G2, ever since I updated to 7.8. I know most of this thread is about the pocket cameras, since that is firmware 7.9. At this point I'm gone stop testing, go back to 7.7.3 and hope that the next firmware fixes this issue. I've been unable to replicate this issue with firmware 7.7.3. I was recording at BRAW 4k Q3, though in the past this could do this with BRAW 5:1 1080p. This is another example of Blackmagic delivering enormous value to the user.īack to the topic at hand, I just picked up a fresh T5 ssd and Kondor Blue cable from B&H and will do more testing today.Įdit: I was able to replicate the issue with a brand new 2TB T5 with Kondor Blue cable. I'm using the camera to record scenic roads, so you can imagine how this feature would come in handy with all the road imperfections. Thank you.įWIW, and it doesn't come across in this thread, but I appreciate the addition of in camera stabilization enormously - which is why I want so badly to get this firmware to work on my camera. I want to thank the BMD team for the effort you make to continually introduce improvements. And I haven't had any problems since I installed it. The improvements in autofocus and gyroscope-based stabilization look fantastic to me. Sirineos wrote:I am very happy with version 7.9. Instead of the default variable of 1500, I use 1700 for greater confidence when setting my lens focal distance. Good solution which is better than previous capabilities.īy the way I use the Lens Toolkit f8 app that includes a slider to define my Circle of Confusion formula. Finally 7.9 introduced an effective slider to very the intensity of the focus assist. So I thought that was corrected in 7.3 although I admit it was too ‘aggressive’ and had to switch my colour from Red to Green to see it at all on a Medium strength. I’ve been cautious about the coloured lines intensity in the past before 7.3 because I felt it was unreliable in that it could lead to a false sense of security that everything was in focus where I had demonstrated to myself that it wasn’t reliable.

The issue of the loss of 75 fps recording clearly appears to be an oversight in testing against the published performance specifications and something I don’t ever test on an update.īut I remember the 7.3 firmware update that changed the appearance of the coloured lines focus assist that some felt was a clear error and made that function useless. However being human, we are prone to error and testing every possible combination of items is truly not possible.Īnd sometimes a few users may perceive an error in a change where the item might be considered a subjective judgement. Still though we expect updates have run the gauntlet of quality control tests before being released. But I agree it is our responsibility to test camera updates before using an update on critical shoots. It is odd that some updates can have problematic items that appear for some users and not others.

Unrelated: I was able to replicate the "stop recording" initiated freeze when it was recording in BRAW 1080p 5:1 previous to the factory reset I will try to replicate the "self" initiated freeze in the daytime and report back. I'm recording in BRAW Q3 60FPS when the drive indicator estimates about 5 hours of record time remaining, which has surely already passed. Because I left it on overnight, I can't say for certain whether the this happened when the camera exhausted the SSD's capacity, or it did so with capacity still remaining. I have not been able to replicate the "stop recording" initiated freeze since the factory reset however, it does still does a "self" initiated freeze. So, it seems like the factory reset did help somewhat. However, I tried to run a longer test overnight and I saw that the camera stopped recording on its own at about the 1:15 mark and, again, I was unable to resume recording nor enter the play menu. I repeated this process 3-4 times last night with each of the recordings lasting about 1+ hours. After performing the reset, I was unable to reproduce the freezing by pressing the "record" button to end a clip.
It previously never occurred to me to do a factory reset because it was a fresh firmware install. Ok, I did this and I've had promising results but I don't think I'm out of the woods yet. Rick.lang wrote:Try the Camera Factory Reset when on 7.9.
