Camera 9.5.2 Update

[Kristian Lam]

Hi,

Camera v9.5.2 for only the Cinema Camera 6K is now available on our website.

This release fixes the issue with CFexpress cards not detected on some Cinema Camera 6K cameras.

Thanks

Kristian

Great! This seems to be working now. Thanks for the quick fix.

Huzzah! That did it. It now recognizes my CF Express cards. Thank you to the Blackmagic team for getting this fixed.

Woohoo, this worked! Thank you for the fix!

Its not a bonus but a correction of an error from BMD

Not a single info on the BMPCC cameras. RIP to them then!

Lol - Not sure if this can be classed as a "quick fix" been an issue for over 6 months. But thank you Blackmagic for making the camera have "normal behaviour" again

Is there any chance you can add the same shooting resolutions/crops that the 6K Pxyis got, to keep polarity between them?

Hi, I’d like to clarify a doubt. I have a BMPCC 6K that I wasn’t using, and I wanted to test the update with Autofocus. I downloaded the update, connected my camera, it updated, but the activation for that mode doesn’t appear, and the Webcam mode doesn’t show up either. What went wrong?

Warning:both the 9.5.2 and 9.5.1 releases (and possibly others) seem to be downgrading BMPCC 6K OG cameras to 8.1 (the camera in question was previously running 8.6). After this happens, the software cannot communicate with the camera, and I have to uninstall it and downgrade all the way to 9.1.3 before it would talk to the camera again and upgrade back to 8.6.

It would be great if 1. there is a list somewhere about what camera firmware versions are included in each release (because the release version is basically meaningless), and if the updater would show both the old and new firmware versions before initiating the upgrade so that the update can be aborted if something doesn't make sense.

There is two different camera, the BMPCC6K and The BMCC6K ( full frame).The autofocus is for the full frame, not yours.

It seems to be a BM strategy to simply stop supporting older cameras that are still available.

My BMPCC is only 1.5 years old and no longer receives updates...

The URSA Mini Pro 12K is similar - you should really consider whether BM cameras are really a worthwhile investment when the support and product maintenance are so poor.

There seem to be no more updates for the BMPCC.

If you buy a BM camera, don't expect long-term product support.

There are the 8.6 and 8.7 beta updates which I believe are coming out as two 9.x updates. Beyond that we have no way of knowing.

9.4 is for the BMPCC line and
9.5 is for the BMCC 6K

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding but in order to use the Autofocus update on the BMCC6KFF you need to be on beta 9.4? Because when I updated to Camera Update 9.5.2 it vanished. Did I maybe do something wrong?

You’re correct. 9.4 is for the bmPCC line and 9.5 is for the bmCC line (currently only the 6KFF).

I’d think that since both 9.4 and 9.5 are in beta that 9.5 would include 9.4’s beta but I guess you’ve discovered it doesn’t.

If you look at what version firmware you have installed according to the camera it’ll probably be an early version of 8.
