Interview with Panasonic Lumix director Yamane

Imaging Resource had a long chat with him and here are a couple of take away:

  • The GH6 is a flagship model equipped with a newly developed image sensor and a newly developed image processor that enables cutting-edge video expression.
  • the GH5M2 is able to get a 25% benefit on the dynamic range compared to the GH5.
  • I believe that the full-frame and Micro Four Thirds markets will continue to coexist. In particular, the video market continues to expand, and the value of full-frame and MFT is increasing. In fact, there are many creators who use both systems, full-frame to pursue expressiveness and MFT with an emphasis on mobility and high speed. By taking advantage of each characteristic, even more creative content is created. Going forward, we will continue to grow our business with these two pillars, full-frame and Micro Four Thirds, as a “Double Driving Force.”
  • The rise of smartphones has had a major impact on the demand for fixed-lens compact cameras. On the other hand, the demand for full-frame and MFT mirrorless cameras is stable.

Today Capture One 21 released a new update which adds a couple of new features. Keep in mind you save 10% when using our checkout code “43RUM” on your Capture One 21 software purchase. You can also try it for free here.

The new features:

Magic Brush  

Make complex masks in a split-second, so you can accurately focus your edits on any area of your photo. Simply doodle over the area you wish to mask using the Magic Brush and Capture One fills in the rest for you.

It’s fun to use – and the result is a precise and refined mask for perfect accuracy in your editing.

Effortless Export  

Make exporting quick and easy – we’ve redesigned the Exporter so you get the entire suite of options, all in one place. Plus, we’ve added a powerful Proofing Viewer that visualizes your final photo with all your output settings applied – guaranteeing a perfect result before you export. And for an even simpler workflow, you can now replace images on export – one of our top-requested export features!

Show images in subfolders 

It’s now easier than ever to keep track of all the photos in your Catalogs. We added the option to show images across subfolders when you’re browsing Catalogs – one of our most–asked-for organization features!

Synchronize new subfolders 

Always keep your Catalog in sync with your hard disk – and cut down on the time you spend manually importing photos. Capture One now synchronizes new subfolders that are waiting on your hard disk and aren’t yet part of your Catalog.
