Melbourne, Australia – 12th December 2024: With the release of firmware update 11.03.00, Atomos’ extremely popular Shinobi II monitor gets camera control support for even more camera models, improved touch to focus for already supported models, as well as other feature improvements.
Launched this summer to wide acclaim, Shinobi II is a slim, lightweight, 5-inch daylight viewable, 1500nit HDR monitor that’s perfect for vloggers, creatives and photographers.
In response to customer feedback, touch to focus was added with a firmware update in October. This feature 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 bug fixes & reliability improvements.
Shinobi II costs USD/EUR 349 (GBP 295, AUD 545), excluding local sales taxes, and is available from Atomos authorized resellers now. The 11.03.00 firmware update can be downloaded from www.atomos.com/support.
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.
