Hey everybody!
I’m new to this forum. I own a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera and apart from a problem that recently occured, I’m happy with it.
After updating my BMMCC to 4.7.1, I mentioned clusters of pixels flashing for one frame in a low light situation (see pictures below).
I tested the camera in normal light conditions and with different ISO and shutter settings (ISO 800 / shutter 180°, ISO 800 / 360°, ISO 1600 / 180°, ISO 1600 / 360°). The flashing of pixelclusters remained. All the footage was captured in RAW and the camera was well warmed up. The flashing occurs at random positions, at random times and at random size but always for one frame.
I can’t assure that this problem didn’t occur with older firmwares. Though I checked some older footage and didn’t find any of this flashings.
Below you can see a situation when the flashing occurred. I added a picture before flashing, one when the flash occurred and one of the magnified flash. The stills where crabbed in Resolve from the debayered RAW footage without a LUT applied, exported as .dpx and converted to sRGB .jpg in photoshop.

Does anybody has the same problem with the BMMCC?
Does anybody has an idea what the problem might be?
Does anybody knows how to fix this problem?
I was thinking about downgrading my BMMCC to an older firmware to see if the problem might be solved like this.
Does anybody knows if this is possible without the risk of causing other problems?
I appreciate any kind of help! Thank you very much!
