Canon has just announced the latest firmware update for EOS R. If you’re a professional stop motion creator (or want to become one), this new firmware update is tailored for you. It’s compatible with Dragonframe stop motion animation software and designed to make stop motion animation easier, but it doesn’t come without some drawbacks either.
Atomos adds Apple ProRes RAW recording to the Shogun 7 with the Sony FX9 camera
by Leave a Comment
Atomos has announced that an update is coming for the Atomos Shogun 7 monitor recorder that adds ProRes RAW recording support when used with the Sony FX9 full-frame camcorder and XDCA-FX9 extension module. The FX9 is also soon to receive an update providing RAW video output over SDI in a variety of formats and frame rates. Initially, the Shogun 7 will offer ProRes RAW for 4K 60fps and 2K at up to 180 frames per second.
This new update expands the Shogun 7’s ability to record ProRes RAW from Sony cameras which already includes support for the FS7, FS7 II, FS5 and FS5 II. Unfortunately, though, it looks like FX9 shooters won’t get to try it until at least October.

New Sony A9 II firmware fixes flicker and lets you close shutter when switching lenses
by Leave a Comment
One of the big issues for many photographers when it comes to mirrorless cameras is keeping that sensor clean – particularly when cleaning lenses. With DSLRs it’s easy. When they’re not actively taking a shot, the shutter is closed up tight and the mirror’s flipped down. With mirrorless, on the other hand, the sensor is often completely exposed.
This was a problem with the Sony A9 II, but now a new v2.00 firmware update fixes that, by letting you close the shutter when turning off the camera. The new update also includes features to reduce flickering from artificial light sources, improved Remote Camera Tool functionality, improved Face/Eye Priority AF features and various other functions.
Canon finally lets the EOS M6 Mark II shoot 24p with new firmware update
by Leave a Comment
Canon not letting all of their cameras shoot 24p video in all resolutions has been a big problem for a lot of people, and it’s put many people off adding certain Canon cameras to their collection. Or, they’ve got one but had to deal with clunky framerate conversion workarounds. Fortunately, Canon seems to have woken up to this, having recently committed to adding it to the EOS RP, G7X Mark III, EOS 90D and various other cameras via firmware updates.
One of those other cameras is the EOS M6 Mark II. And now, Canon has announced the release of the Canon EOS M6 Mark II firmware version 1.1.0 to add this capability – along with a few bugfixes.

New firmware adds Waveform and Vectorscope to the $229 Feelworld F6 Plus on-camera monitor
by Leave a Comment
We’ve been fans of the Feelworld F6 Plus here at DIYP for a while. It’s a great monitor for what it costs, offering a 1080p IPS touchscreen display, LUTs and 4K HDMI support. We first saw it a year ago at NAB 2019 in Las Vegas. I finally got my hands on one about six months ago and posted my complete review back in November. Or at least, it was complete then. Now, that review is a little incomplete. So, let’s call this Review Part 1.5.
Two of the things I mentioned in my review that the Feelworld F6 Plus was lacking were a waveform and a vectorscope. Well, it looks like Feelworld has listened because a recently released firmware has just added both of those features to this inexpensive monitor. This might just make it the best value on-camera monitor on the market today.
Sigma fp mirrorless camera to receive HDR, cinemagraphs and 120fps RAW video capability
by 1 Comment
Sigma was expected to make some big announcements during the cancelled CP+ event last month. Initially, it was suspected that it might be the company’s long-awaited L mount Foveon camera, but those hopes were soon dashed. Sigma hasn’t forgotten about their Bayer sensor L mount camera, though, the Sigma fp.
A new Version 2.00 firmware update for the Sigma fp has been announced and will be released at some point during “summer 2020” (they haven’t gotten any more specific than this yet). The update promises to add some cool new features including 120fps CinemaDNG RAW, cinemagraph and HDR shooting, amongst others.
