Atomos widens camera control support for Shinobi II

Firmware update 11.03.00 adds camera control support for even more camera models, improved touch to focus for already supported models, and other feature improvements to Atomos’ Shinobi II monitor.

Touch to focus was initially added to the $349 Shinobi II via a firmware update in October. This has now been further enhanced with the 11.03.00 update to include setting a focus point in AF tracking mode for already supported cameras. Touch to focus has also been extended to the following camera models: Canon EOS R1, Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Canon EOS R7, Nikon Z8, Sony FX3, and Sony FX30. 

“It’s a Christmas present to our loyal users, the overwhelming success of AF touch to focus from our Shinobi II HDR screen has meant a new improved workflow for videographers and photographers alike,” commented Jeromy Young, Atomos CEO. “Now, with support for the most popular Canon, Sony and Nikon cameras, this is a true revolution in camera operation. We are listening to customers and supporting the cameras they use; we will continue to upgrade Shinobi II based on this feedback,” added Young.  

This firmware update also adds camera control for Fujifilm X-T5, X-T4, X-T3, Fujifilm F-LOG2 Log/HDR conversions, as well as the usual round of  bug fixes & reliability improvements.
