Melbourne, Australia – 10th October 2024
Atomos releases the first major update for the Shinobi II and introduces exciting new features, including Touch to Focus on selected cameras, camera control for Fujifilm and Nikon cameras, as well as ARRI False Color and EL ZONE™ colorized exposure modes.
Shinobi II is a slim, lightweight, high brightness, 5-inch 1500nit HDR monitor that’s perfect for vloggers, filmmakers and photographers. When it was launched in late July, Shinobi II controlled most recent cameras from Canon, Panasonic, and Sony over USB-C, and Z CAM E2 models through a separate serial cable. With the new 11.02.00 firmware update, available to download now from its website, Atomos is adding support for more hybrid mirrorless cameras from Fujifilm and Nikon
Also added is one of the most-requested features from early adopters, the ability to set the camera’s focus point directly via the touch screen interface of the Shinobi II.
Compatible cameras with the Touch to Focus feature are from Canon (EOS R6 Mark II), Panasonic (LUMIX S5 II & S5 II X), Sony (A7 IV, A7S III & ZV-E10 II) and Fujifilm (GFX100 II & X-S20).
Shinobi II is a very popular monitor for photographers, not just filmmakers, and the new firmware adds a dedicated Shutter Release button that replaces the Video record trigger when you want to use your camera in Photo mode. This allows photo capture to be triggered directly from the Shinobi II, particularly useful when shooting multiple exposures for HDR bracketing or focus stacking.
Last, but certainly not least, the new update brings professional features like ARRI False Color, and EL ZONE™ colorized exposure modes from the Ninja and Shogun monitor-recorders to the Shinobi II.

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.
