With the old camera OS the only way to find out is to connect the camera to a computer and run the setup program.

Yes. From your question I would understand that you never had updated your BMPCC since you got it?

You have to download the firmware setup from BMD support website.
In your case the last version is 2.1.

Here is the link for PC: BMPPC firmware 2.1

And here for Mac OS-X: BMPPC firmware 2.1
