Another problem with BMPCC, How to update lens firmware.

PostFri Aug 16, 2013 2:18 pm

I haven't receive my BMPCC yet and I just found a problem with the lens firmware.

I don't have Panasonic camera, none of my friends buy Panasonic camera too. If I buy a Panasonic lens and use it on my BMPCC, How can I update the lens firmware in the future ? ^_^

That's not a problem with the camera, that's a problem with the lens you chose.

Buy or rent a compatible camera if you need to update the lens firmware.

A lens shouldn't have a firmware in the first place :mrgreen:

True! but the tech junkie talking in me finds the Sigma USB lens dock that let you update firmware and adjust focus and other parameters interesting
