Solar Eclipse Maestro released mac-only camera controller for eclipses with support for Panasonic cameras

Share

Solar Eclipse Maestro just released a new version of the mac-only camera controller for eclipses with support for Panasonic cameras.  It supports the GX8 and GH4, and will support the GH5 when its firmware is updated to allow USB tether-control.

This is a great tool for Panasonic owners to use to automate their cameras during the upcoming total solar eclipse.

Thanks Steven!

(FT4) Two new MFT cameras to be announced within two months

Share

This has been a quiet year so far. Logical after all that GH5 and E-M1II buzz. But finally the wait is over and we can expect two new MFT cameras to be launched in late August/September.

One is the long time rumored and also delayed E-m10III. It has 20Mp sensor and 4K.

The second camera is a new compact Panasonic model (don’t know if it’s GF, GM or GX).

I don’t know if there is some other unexpected surprise camera coming this year….
