I too saw it working at NAB, but it doesn't seem to be working on the BMCC that I just got today. I've tried several lenses without any luck. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
There green peaking is a new feature on the 4K camera (not sure about the Pocket Cam). Your current BMCC won't have it. Hopefully it comes in the future (most likely). For now, it's a lot more subtle with white and sometimes red colors. Aim your camera at something with a lot of detail, make sure it's remotely in focus, and press the Iris button. You should see white and sometimes a little red, depending on how in focus you are.
As it is right now, the peaking works but the green is so much better. I'm sure we'll get it in a future firmware upgrade.
