[erik cantu] “The column on the left, “Latest Downloads,” has newest camera update on top and if need be, older builds.”

Yes. I found a thread from a year ago, with a number of people complaining about dropped frames on the BMPCC, but with no real resolution. In those cases, the dropped frames were only occurring after shooting for 15 minutes or longer. In my case, frames are being dropped after only a few seconds and every few seconds.
I went to the BlackMagic support page, but I can’t for the life of me find where to download the camera utility to check the firmware.

[doriana zuolaki] “I guess that max apperture f/4 doesn’t give much sdof ( thats a must for me ) . And how is stabilization doing? Is it strong enough to shot videos handheld?”
Doriana:
I did a short test so you can see the DOF and the handheld look with steadyshot on. You can download the file here: https://1drv.ms/1NAnBkeJason Jenkins

Just swapped it out for a SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC II U3 Class 10 64GB card––still dropping frames.

[Steve Crow] “The GH4 is also said to be a great camera in low light.”
FYI, the GH4 is not a good low light camera.

Thanks for the advice, David. I ended up just applying grade presets clip-by-clip to the edited multicam clip––just to get it done. But this will be a good resource for next time!
