The 8K ROI multi-camera system is an exciting development for live event capture. It enhances production values by producing up to five separate HD feeds – one of these is a down-converted wide shot, and the other four individual feeds are cropped images in 1080p or 720p simultaneously from the 8K sensor. Yasuhiko Shimizu provides an overview on the system and the technology behind it, and offers an insight into how the 8K ROI system can improve coverage for live events.

For better or worse AI will place a fundamental role on all future photo editing software.

This fall Skylum will released Luminar 4 (all info here). It will have a multitude of AI features and here are two video showing two of those features. In both cases it’s super simple and quick to make major editings:

And here are two videos about the AI portrait filter:

Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group, Panasonic FF and the GH5 group.

Sony released the full presentation of the IMX492 sensor with 23,1mm diagonal (the MFT sensor has a 22.5 mm diagonal). The sensor has following key specs:

– 47MP multi-aspect sensor (41MP in 4:3 mode and 35MP in 17:9)
– Exmor R tech with electronic shutter
– Has 8k30p recording (in 17:9. In 4:3 it’s 25p)
– 2.315μm Pixel Size for both the Bayer and Monochrome sensor version

It’s obviously only a wild guess if that is the sensor that Panasonic will use for the GH6 (or Olympus for the E-M1III). But one thing for sure 8k on MFT has become really close today!

For the record: Techinsights had confirmed the IMX299 sensor is used  by the GH5s
