Blackmagic Forum

Hello there, I'm Claudio, from Italy.
I'm about the 25Th owner of the BMPCC in my country, and I shoot some videos, today.
My problem is:
Doing various attempts, with many settings, I also tried dead pixel detection, shooting in 1600iso, 360 degrees shutter and lens cap on.
Here the result:



I have a lot of blank pixels, changing some settings (iso) the situation goes better, but the pixels in the red circle still blank untill 400 iso.
Is that normal?

Downloaded your file and had a look. Enlarged and I can see several bright pixels.

I think you should call Blackmagic support and talk to them and send the the file. If calling you your country is like it is here in USA be prepared for very long hold time but it seems like it's because they're willing to spend a lot of time for each customer, which is a good thing.

I've send back my broken BMPCC, they're sending me new one.
I hope this one will work perfectly.

I had a similar experience but I had several dozen stuck pixels. They are best viewed at 1600 ISO but were still visible in my video at lower settings. Checking the screen with lens cap on and focus assist on, it looks like a sky full of stars, no exaggeration. Sending it back in the morning.
