I wanted to start this topic for us new camera owners to quickly share any bugs or other relevant firmware issues we may come across.
I was in the anamorphic lens menu and the option reads 1. Desqueeze Radio, should this not read Ratio?
2. Clip counter not advancing, currently staying A001_C001 even though I have shot three clips and they are showing as three clips in playback… Each clip is labeled A001_C001_20260526_ then has unique numbers after each clip, However all of them share the same Pre-Text labeling.
3. Menu button does not function when on the Live screen. I have to press home then press menu on screen or the menu button to open menu.
Regarding point 2, do you even see a way to assign the camera letter and mag number? I can’t find the option in any of the menus.
A few glitches I ran into:
Hot swapping the media locks up my camera. I have to shut it down and restart it to get anything to respond. I don’t see anything in the manual about not being able to pull a card and load a new one in without powering down.
The scroll wheel does not function in the Menu page; not on the menus (Record, Media, Monitoring, etc) or the submenus themselves, or even the options within any of those menus. It only appears to work from the Home page and in the settings accessed there.
Booting up the camera without media installed takes ~3m30s (and delivers an error message once booted - see picture). I thought there was something wrong with my camera at first. Bootup with media installed takes ~30s.
Iris changes can only be made on the home screen, not the live screen, so I can’t see what exposure looks like while making iris changes (on the built in screen).
Sigma 18-35 autofocus not working (EF Mount). I don’t see any tap to focus and the only way to get it to electronically focus involves me jumping into Menu>Info>Lens and there is a bar I can drag to change focus, but even then it only moves a tiny bit (less than a foot) and isn’t consistent.
Anamorphic desqueeze ratio - Not really a bug, so much as a missing ratio. 1.8x is fairly common (Cooke, Sirui, Great Joy, etc.), so it would be nice if that could get added.
One more thing, the dedicated MENU/BACK button (the one by the scroll wheel) works on the top level menu screen, but not once you pick an option to adjust. Once you’re one menu deeper than the main screen, you have to use the temporary BACK button (either the touch-screen button or the physical button beneath it), as the dedicated MENU/BACK button on the side doesn’t do anything.
I noticed another thing: the media door says to “Unmount Media Before Removal,” but there’s no option to do that in the menu, unless I’m just not seeing it. What’s the proper procedure for unmounting?
My camera only boots up to a white screen, I turned it on once and then removed media after not finding an unmount option anywhere. Now the camera won’t boot back up. Any suggestions on how to get it working again
Yeah, I ment to message you about that when I heard you had pulled your card out live. Personally think we should be turning off the camera prior to yanking the card for now until a proper unmount system is in place.
Another thing I was hoping @young could weigh in on is the camera seems to Hard cut power when turning off vs a soft shutdown as most cinema cameras will do. Does the sensitive items do a soft shut down or are we just yanking the power cord away like a 1995 computer each time we hit that switch?
