Late Night with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera

Nine months ago I pre-ordered, along with many other people, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. Last Friday it finally came! Before I received my camera I was proactive in ordering the proper accessories to use it once I got it, i.e., a new bnc cable, a SSD, a Voyager Q to read the SSD, a thunderbolt cable, and a new MacBook Pro Retina (also just needed it). The Switronix PB70-BMCC brick wasn't available at the time of my spending, but it's still something that I need to buy. 

Finally having some time last night to sit down with the camera I wanted to do a couple tests mainly for the purposes of seeing what I could do with a Raw 2.5K image in DaVinci Resolve. My setup was simple: no studio lights, just practical house lights. I wanted to see how far I could push the image before I started seeing noise. Then the next day I would go out to do more tests, even including some lighting setups. However, last night I hit a few snags...

Starting off, I would place my OWC SSD into the camera. The status bar at the bottom of the 5" touch screen didn't recognize the SSD. I removed it from the camera and pushed it back in a little harder this time. The camera finally recognized the SSD. A little alarmed by this, I turned off the camera just to see if it would recognize that it had a SSD in there once it turned back on. The answer...it didn't. Another pull and push, and the camera recognized the SSD. This didn't set well with me. 

I shot a couple clips and watched them in playback. Each clip seemed to play perfectly. It wasn't until the third clip that I shot started having some issues. While playing back, the image started to lag/stutter and then froze (but the audio was still playing). I hit stop and tried to view the clip again and the same results occurred. I moved on to film some other things hoping this issue might clear up. Nope. As I played back some newer clips the lagging and freezing happened again. However, this time the image went black and pressing play or stop didn't work. I had to simply remove the SSD and power down the camera. 

At this point I became a little panic-stricken. I placed the SSD back in to the camera and powered it back up, but at this point the camera wouldn't recognize the SSD at all no matter how many times I pulled and pushed. 

I placed the SSD into my New Technology Voyager Q reader to see if I could review my footage. Unfortunately it wouldn't mount. I tried using different connections, Firewire 800, USB 3.0, but I got nothing. I think it's safe to say that I have a bunk SSD. So getting started, this wasn't the experience I was hoping for. 

Another issue that arose was one that I've been following on the blogsphere: the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 Canon EF mount won't reach infinity focus on the BMCC. When I heard this I thought my lens was fine. I've never had a bad image when using this lens on my 60D or T2i. I've always been able to reach infinity focus. So when I began my first test, I threw the Tokina on the BMCC. I started off at 16mm. My subject (me in a chair), was a little less, but very close to, 7 feet from the camera. When I looked at playback I was sharp and in focus. My second shot was at 11mm. I readjusted the focus but this time noticed that where I would be sitting was in fact out of focus. At 11mm and infinity focus, my background was blurry. This shouldn't have been the case. Given the distance from the subject to the camera, the ISO, and the amount of light in the room, I technically should have been in focus. I have used this lens for a little more than two, close to three years now and have never had this issue. Once my new SSD arrives, I'll be able to take the camera outside for some more tests and hopefully see with a greater DoP that the Tokina will be able to reach infinity at 11mm. Who knows.

So far my filming experience with the BMCC hasn't been the best. From a technical side, I like the menu. It's simple and easy to navigate. I'm worried about the camera not recognizing the SSD. Again, I think that might have been the actual SSD, but we'll see. The image from the camera itself is a very beautiful one. I'm happy in that regard. The build is solid and slightly heavy which I love. But none of that matters unless I can record something. I wish I had more exciting news to share instead of the issues that I'm having. Hopefully tomorrow or Thursday I'll have better news to report. That's it for now.
