FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR RAW VIDEO DATA OUTPUT

Olympus is pleased to announce development for firmware that enables output of RAW video data from the Olympus OM-D E-M1X and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III mirrorless cameras to the ATOMOS NINJA V HDR monitor recorder. Data will be recorded to the ATOMOS NINJA V as Apple ProRes RAW for flexible image editing. This lends greater flexibility to professional video production post-processing tasks, such as adjusting exposure and color grading recorded footage. The firmware is being developed in collaboration with ATOMOS and is scheduled for release in Winter 2020.

Olympus will continue to support professional video production via hand-held high-definition video recording with their compact lightweight system, thanks to its unrivaled portability and powerful in-body 5-Axis Image Stabilization with 5-Axis Sync IS capabilities.

(FT5) Sony has one newly developed MFT sensor ready for early 2021

Share

Very solid sources told me that Sony has one very new MFT sensor that will be available for production in early 2021. I hope to get some specs soon but it’s really a major step forward from what I heard. I have no idea if this sensor will be suited by the next Panasonic GH6 camera or in some other new model.

But I promise you…I will work to get you details as soon as I can ;)
