Unable to update to 9.5

PostSun Apr 13, 2025 12:54 pm

I'm unable to update to 9.5

Everything is working until downloading Blackmagic camera setup software. Even though the screen shows my camera is connected (BMPCC 6kG2), I don't see any buttons for me to press showing the firmwares I should update to.

Does anyone have a similar issue? And any solutions?

I'm having the exact same issue, and am stuck on 8.1, the version that came pre-installed. I've forced the camera into setup mode, and it allows itself to re-update to 8.1, but there is no "Update Firmware" button on the Camera Setup app. It simply shows the camera picture and what kind it is (in this case, it's BMPCC 6k G2. Zero solution found on any forum searches yet... I've downloaded the 9.5 Camera Setup software, double confirmed via Help > About in the Camera Setup window. I'm on PC Windows 11, and have tried multiple cables.

8.1 is currently the latest non-beta for that camera. 8.6 Beta is available as a separate download.

9.5 targets the BMCC6K LF camera as explained in the readme.

The Blackmagic Camera application is update you to the newest firmware for that camera, it does not necessarily update to that version.

My BMPCC 6K Pro appears, but when I click the icon to check for updates, nothing happens. I don't get an update available. Camera is currently set to V8.1, and should be able to take V9.5.2 (V9.5), but it's not working? Am I missing a step?

That update is for the BMCC6K camera, not your BMPCC6K Pro camera.
