The Heat pipe of the E-M1X

Olympus did share this small detail about the E-M1X heat pipe:

The Olympus E-M1X has powerful dual TruePic VIII image processing engines. In addition to image processing, these engines also control state-of-the-art functions such as Intelligent Subject Recognition AF, High Res Shot mode, and Live ND. As you can imagine, these engines generate an unprecedented amount of heat due to the enormous amount of calculations and processing they handle. Likewise the camera’s ultra high-speed continuous 4K / C4K shooting capability and powerful camera shake correction function generate heat as well. Finding a solution to prevent overheating- especially in sunlight- was a big task for the E-M1X design team.

To keep all of this hardware cool Olympus designed the E-M1X with a heat pipe that effectively disperses heat from the processors up through the casing and into the surrounding environment. This technical feat lets you shoot freely without worrying about the camera overheating.

New Profoto Connect Wireless Transmitter for Olympus

You can preorder it now at BHphoto. This is the official press text:

With the Profoto Connect Wireless Transmitter for Olympus cameras, you have a wireless connection with AirTTL lights that controls flash sync, remote control, Auto TTL, and HSS. The transmitter also controls flash sync and remote control in Air lights. There are three settings on the Connect transmitter itself. Auto being the first, takes all the guess work of setting up your flashes. The manual setting is there if you want to set the flashes yourself and be more creative. The final setting, of course, is to turn it off when the transmitter is not in use.

By downloading the Profoto app and with Bluetooth connection, you can control your lights wirelessly as well and upgrade your firmware later through the app. The Connect works on a frequency of 2.4 GHz and up to eight channels with an operating range of a 1000′ when using it with normal sync flash and remote control, and 330′ with Auto TTL and HSS. The built-in lithium-ion polymer battery has a battery life of 30 hours and is rechargeable via the included USB cable. Additionally, the transmitter powers off after 60 minutes of inactivity.

Updated Primers EQX sets for Panasonic cameras

Press text:

We have just updated our Primers EQX sets for Panasonic cameras.
This update affects Panasonic EVA1 and GH5 Primers EQX sets, bringing significant image improvements across the signal range and shooting scenarios.
Multiple microtonal optimizations are achieved, affecting accuracy, separation, organicity, richness and signal stability for post production.
Image now feels and behaves more naturally, having superior transition to overexposure, which together with tonal organicity brings film-like image performance. This update also brings easier camera matching. Update is free of charge for existing Primers customers and it is hittting emails soon.
Panasonic GH5S is scheduled for analysis and optimization.

Primers project info:
Primers are per-sensor and base colour science designed, scene-independent image transformations, embodied into a set of high precision 3DLUTs. Each set is designed on custom-developed, professional, in-depth camera signal analysis, to provide superior imaging results with organic and stable image basis. Primers transformation tools re-structure the signal within the transformation step from base colour science to delivery standard, implementing multiple image optimizations in aesthetic and technical parameters and additionally empowering post-production workflow.
