BMPCC4k Keeps shutting down with included battery

PostWed Dec 12, 2018 4:32 am

My BMPCC4k keps shutting down with the included battery even when charged.
I tried other batteries as well. I don't have original Canon to try at the moment.
It seams to happen when I use PANA100-300mm with OIS enabled.
Anybody else experience that?

Your power requirements seem to be exceeding the ability of the BM Battery, when the battery level drops to a certain level, the camera shuts down. Try an external, larger capacity battery, or at least an Canon OEM LP-E6 Battery.
