Backup Camera shuts off

Part way through backing up, I have had occasional black outs of camera. On when I start to roll, then it shuts off, goes to black. Anyone else experience this? Failing camera? Software update?
Thanks

Obviously that's not ideal. Best case, it is a loose or fraying wire. You could pull out the camera module and check connections if you haven't already done that as a start.

...it doesn't sound like this, but just in case...my camera would shut off when backing out my garage...was told here (correctly) that you can change how it shuts off in bimmercode (or whatever).

FEM iirc Mine shut off at 10m backing up...I made it 100m. Also, you can keep it on when rolling backwards, which helps me as I'm in neutral rolling back.

Only other thought besides what's been mentioned is that if it turns out to be a bad wire going to the camera, that the failure might be around the bend in the loom going to the trunk lid. Very familiar with that in e46. Not sure where the f30 bend is though...it's got to be somewhere near the hinge of lid under the cover.
