I have searched but found nothing like this in the forum yet.
Yesterday we had an interview shooting with BMPCC 6K & 6K Pro cameras. Luckily it was an inhouse production for ourselves. After the interview we noticed that both cameras had an exclamation mark blinking inside the still running recording button.
Touching it wouldn't stop the recording. We also tried the hardware button. The recording went on and the SSDs got written on. (Blue LEDs on the SSDs were blinking)
Only way to stop this was to shut down the cameras.
After restarting the footage was gone! We only had about 2 minutes on the 6K and about 3 minutes on the 6K Pro of interview and about 40 minutes missing! (Also checked the SSDs via computer)
So we did the whole interview again
Now we paid attention to this and on the 6K Pro it happend once more after about 10 minutes!
How is this possible?
The only thing we have changed on the 6K (our workhorse) is updating the firmware so the color profile will match our new 6K Pro. We never had this issue before.
As of right now, we are really scared to use these cameras on our next production.
Has this happend to anyone else?
We have experienced this exclamation mark before, trying to record 6K 50 fps to an SD-Card and after 3 seconds the recording would stop. That's because the SD card was too slow for this.
But we can't explain what's going on here.
Here are the parameters we worked with:
BMPCC 6K
Firmware: 7.3
Resolution: 6K, 25 fps
Codec: BM RAW 8:1
Drive: Samsung T5 SSD 1 TB via USB-C (Tilta cable)
Timecode: Tentacles Sync E
BMPCC 6K Pro
Firmware: 7.3.1
Resolution: 6K, 25 fps
Codec: BM RAW 12:1
Drive: Samsung T5 SSD 1 TB via USB-C (Tilta cable)
Timecode: Tentacles Sync E
Thanks for any help!

Solution:
We are using the Tilta Side Handles with the Battery & Samsung T5 SSD holder.
Here's the thing: Tilta's USB-C to USB-C cables are not fast enough for BM color science V5.
Using the original Samsung USB-C to USB-C cables fixed the issue for us.
