In this blog posting I'm trying to collect my findings about it to help others decide on it's maturity.
untested
- LANC focus control
- LANC IRIS control (command codes unknown)
confirmed features
- LANC start+stop
- very fine and organic grain
confirmed, known issues
- very low audio levels with internal or external microphone (Sennheiser MKE400 with levels "+")
- constant white noise in audio
- Focus button is extremely slow (2-4 second for a Leica lens that focuses in less then 1/10s)
- no OIS on 14-42PZ
- extremely short battery life
- seldom dropped frames (3-4 frames on a total of 45min of 1-5 minute recordings) using Patrion Memory EP-Series 64GB UHS-1 SD-card
new issues
- 14-42PZ does not shut down properly on BMPCC (lens doesn't collapse)
- LANC cannot control the zoom on the 14-42PZ, ,14-42 II, 42-175 PZ and 100-300 using the Manftotto 484LNC (my fault. DAQ states that ZOOM via LANC is unsupported. :( )
feature requests
- manual aperture control in the menu
- you can do that. You have to press IRIS and the up+down buttons right below. Imposible with one hand. Difficult with 2 hands.
- display of remaining minutes on SD-card
- audio levels
- deletion of clips in camera
- formating SD-cards in camera

- technical discussion about the LANC commands the BMPCC supports
- LANC using an Arduino
