Melbourne, Australia – 13th September 2024
At IBC, Atomos (Hall 11, D25) announces major new functionality for Shinobi II, the amazingly successful Photo | Video Monitor. Users get a world’s first: on-monitor touch auto focus and focus subject tracking, in both photo and video camera modes, and it’s a free update for all existing users. The first camera models to be supported are from Sony (A7 MkIV), Canon (R6 Mark II), Panasonic (S5 II) and Fujifilm (GFX100 II). Nikon is also now supported for photo and video modes, with auto focus and focus subject tracking to follow in future updates.
“This is the start of a monitor revolution, and our engineers have been racing to support all popular Japanese camera manufacturers,” said Jeromy Young, Atomos CEO. “We now enable intuitive control on a larger monitor for all the major camera makers.”
Shinobi II is the latest addition to Atomos’ monitor line. Slimmer than its predecessor and with a brighter, 1500nit touchscreen display, it boasts the much-requested feature of control of the camera’s white balance, ISO, shutter speed and aperture over USB-C.
“Shinobi II has been a huge success since we launched it at the end of July, it’s been a challenge to keep up with the burgeoning demand,” added Young. “It’s a lot of fun engaging with thousands of users online. Photo control and touch auto focus have been the top requests, and we got to work straight away. Being able to support six manufacturers’ most popular models so quickly is a tremendous achievement, and we won’t stop there, with more free updates to come.”
“Atomos’ partnerships are our great strength. To see so many major camera makers assisting us with such quick development is fantastic, and we sincerely thank Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon and Fujifilm for this round of amazing updates”.
Shinobi II is priced at €349 excluding local sales taxes.

About Atomos
While the industry makes better cameras, we make cameras better.
Atomos is a video technology innovator. When we started just over a decade ago, we combined high-quality touchscreen monitors, removable storage, and Apple ProRes to dramatically improve the quality of video captured by almost any camera. For the first time, video makers could take the uncompressed output from the camera and store it in Apple’s professional, easy-to-edit format.
New generations of faster, lighter, tougher, and brighter products followed, taking in HDR, 4K and even 8K. Now “Atomos” has become part of the filmmaker’s vocabulary.
With the introduction of connected monitor-recorders accessing a host of cloud-based tools and services, content creators now enjoy even greater productivity gains with camera-to-cloud, remote collaboration and review, cloud editing, live multi-cam production, wireless timecode, and streaming. Workflows anywhere in the world can access media from a cloud connected Atomos device.
Atomos is based in Melbourne, Australia, with a distributed worldwide team and offices in the USA, Japan, China, UK, and Germany and has a worldwide distribution partner network.
