Hey guys,
Strangest thing... I powered up my BMPCC 4K last night attached to my SmallHD AC7 OLED. The screen on the Pocket remained black even though the power switch was set to "ON". I had a full AB battery attached for juice. I know the camera was on because I could see the image on the SmallHD monitor. The camera was producing an output image to the monitor, yet the Pocket screen was black so there was no way to control the camera. I felt a sense of panic. These things always seem to happen before a gig. Anyway, I powered off and on a couple of times and on the third try the screen appeared normally and the panic subsided. However, now I have a new concern that the black screen of death will return just before a shoot. I will continue to fire it up for the next couple of days to see if I can duplicate the problem, but I wanted to see if any of you had this experience.
Thanks
Norman
