Using BMPCC4K as webcam, feed lost during playback

PostFri Apr 19, 2024 10:39 pm

Howdy folks, checking to see if anyone else has come across this issue since the recent firmware update.

When using my BMPCC4K as a webcam via USB-C (whether sharing on google meet/zoom/etc., tested on multiple USB-C cables) the video feed looks great, however when I switch to playback the feed is lost and I'm forced to hard-reset the camera before it can be used as a webcam again. Is this a known error?

playback and capture are two different modes. For a live stream or webcam use, the camera must stay in the capture mode.
