RED releases firmware updates for V-Raptor (DSMC3) and Komodo cameras

The firmware season continues with additional capabilities added to RED’s fleet of newest cameras.

Since Nikon bought RED, pretty much everything the firm has done has been of interest as people look for whatever hints they can regarding the future directions of the two companies. We’re not sure there’s anything too significant on that score among these firmware updates, but are a) happy to be proved wrong, b) it’s good to see support for the new PageOS 6 in there already, and c) it’s always good to see products being continually developed at a reassuring cadence.

All firmware can be downloaded from www.red.com/downloads. Here’s the list…
