Screen Problem BMPC

PostMon Oct 16, 2017 12:33 pm

Hi,
Its my second week with the Blackmagic Pocket and this lines appeared on screen, it doesnt affect the recorded footage. It started at the first image, and sometime later, putting it aside, somehow spread a little but some other pixels got better.

Hi Pedro,

This is happening to us too with no apparent cause.

It's a corruption error that's been happening in BM cameras since the first one.

You'll see it very randomly and it's usually a pixelated fizzle that may appear in different colors/forms and only lasts for a few seconds. Out of hundreds of clips, only 2-3 might be randomly affected (if it gets recorded into the footage).

There hasn't been an explanation; it just happens on any card/SSD at any time with any camera...and some people may never see it.

A BM quirk, if you will.
