Hello to everyone,
My name is Liviu Georgescu, I am from Romania, I just made account here. I am owner of 2 blackmagic products, one is A cinema Camera 2.5k Ef mount and another Micro Cinema Camera, the 1080 version.
I have some issues with my BMMCC, I bought a atomos Ninja 2 Recorder to use it as monitor for the camera, having in mind that I can also use it as backup for when I shoot 25p and 30p. i knew that Ninja 2 won't record 50p and 60p, but thought that it is no problem in using it as monitor hence almost every monitor works on this camera (tested a bunch of feelworld and Ikan with no problem). The monitor does not receive any signal from HDMI when I swich to 50p or 60p, so I go blind. I really use this feature hence I plan to shoot weddings with it and I need it for slow motion. Thought that it can work as monitor only and record in 25p or 30p or even not record at all. Found no settings in menu to support this. So I thought is atomos fault for this but wanted to see if it behave the same way on my Nikon d750. So, when I connect it to my D750, the monitor works as intended, shows the screen, not going blackout as in BMMCC saying no signal, and when I am in 50P it give me option to record in 25p and when I am in 60P, give me option to record in 30. So is there any way to make it behave the same on the BMMCC? What would be the explanation for this and if I can make it somehow to work, because I do not want to change monitors when I need to shot 50/60.
Thank you very much for your reply, maybe someone can enlighten me a little bit.
Best regards from Romania,
Liviu Georgescu
PS. Another disturbing issue, while recording the atomos takes the screen literally, does not bypass de onscreen displays on BMMCC, such as battery life, exposure meter, audiometer, battery life and so on. It is true that BM does not appear on supported list, but still, this is a very odd behavior. It is true that the recorder has zebra and peaking and so on, but still cannot display camera battery life and other things I need. very disappointed with the purchase, I can only hope to manage to sell it back.
