Blackmagic Bluetooth + App

PostTue Jul 13, 2021 5:03 pm

Using the Bluetooth + App with BMPCC4K/Panasonic Lumix 8-18mm. Most of the functions work perfectly except the following, a bit baffling;
1 - Capturing stills doesn't work (pressing the camera icon in the App becomes orange but no still captured). Pressing the Stills button on the camera works correctly. Video capture works fine.
Update Installing v7.3.1 on BMPCC4K solved this problem
2 - Manual focusing using the App works but there seems to be no relationship between the slider and the focus. Also the positioning of A, B, C presets seem arbitrary although setting a preset then using it does seem to work. I don't thing the camera feeds back the focus position to the App.

Also when I go to the App store, there's a product called Bluetooth Pro $13.99. I can't find any reference to this on the internet & nothing to say what is included with the "Pro" version for an additional $13.99
