Camera Update 7.9 Rear Zoom Button, Dial Knob Bug

PostTue Jul 05, 2022 2:51 pm

Hi BMD Team, Again thank you for the great work !

Since Camera Update 7.9 the default action of the rear Zoom button has changed(reversed) the expected action of the front 'Dial Knob' (under the main Red Record button) from initially 'Zoom Factor' to 'Move the Zoom Box'. I trust this is a bug that crept in and can be added to return it's action back to Update 7.3 please ?

Details:
With Camera Update 7.3 on BMPCC4K, once you initially (post power on the camera) click the rear Zoom button, the front associated 'Dial Knob' adjusts the 'Zoom Factor' - logical and most useful ! Great for single hand operation to quickly check focus via Zoom button.

Now with Update 7.9 the 'Dial Knob' once you initially (post power on the camera) click the rear Zoom button, the front associated 'Dial Knob' adjusts the 'Zoom Box Location' - Yuck !!!!

I trust it's a simple bug that crept in. Appreciate revert to v7.3 Zoom, 'Dial Knob' function flow please ?
