I wasn't able to find a topic that compiled all the issues users are having with the camera. Not sure if BMD or other users will find this useful but if so, here we go.
I'm loving the footage so far but I've run into a couple of things.
-shooting on the transcend 256gb c-fast 2.0 card (which is on the BMD approved media list for the PCC4k), at 4k uncompressed raw at 60fps, it will begin to drop frames consistently between 6 and 7 seconds. 3:1 works fine as does every other record setting.
-the stills button is somewhat recessed into the body, which makes it difficult to snap a quick still. The only way I've been able to use the still button is by using my fingernail to push it down.
-also related to stills but probably easier to address is that the only indication that a still was taken is a tiny camera icon will flash in the corner of the screen. I recognize that this is not a stills camera, but I feel that having the screen flash to black or maybe being able to toggle the sound of a shutter on to let the operator know the still has taken would improve the usability of the camera.
-several recordings I've taken have had audio sync issues, where the clip is synced when it starts, but it's as if the video is 1% faster than the audio, because the longer the clip goes on the more out of sync they get. I have no idea how to replicate this issue, since other clips shot immediately after and without changing any settings are perfectly fine.
Are other users running into these issues? Any workarounds or fixes already? I know there's also an issue with T5 ssd's, and high levels of noise with the 3.5mm mic input. I have not personally had those issues though. If there are any other issues or feature requests people have for the camera feel free to add them here.
