Need help with preview/playback on the BMPCC 6K Pro

The BMPCC 6K Pro is an amazing camera and I enjoy using it every day. The interface is extremely user-friendly, but one thing has been bothering me for a long time.
That is, that you can only playback clips in the order they've been shot. Which in itself isn't a big of a deal, but when shooting 400+ short clips, it takes a mighty long time to rewatch and preview some clips you've shot earlier. I always find myself tapping the "previous clip" button a hundred times to get to the clip I would like to preview.

So is there a way, without a laptop, where I can see the entire gallery and not simply one clip?

If not, it would be great to have a sort of overview menu or gallery with all the clips where you can easily scrub through the clips you've shot and select the one shot you want to watch.

I'm still a beginner when it comes to camera's, so maybe there is a reason for the way the playback works, if so, please elaborate.

-> Menu -> SETUP -> page 5 -> PLAYBACK = All Clips

This will give you a timeline with all clips to scrub through.
But remember: the camera will only playback clips from the same file format (BRAW or ProRes) and the same frame rate it is currently set to.

There is also a new 8.6 beta firmware (see top pinned topic) which enables a new mode with a preview list of your clips. Be careful as there might be unwanted side effects and issues as this is a BETA.
Read the thread to learn more about known issues. Don't use beta versions for important client work!
