Canon hat soeben ein größeres Firmware Update angekündigt, das in erster Linie der Cinema EOS Produktfamilie – hier konkret der Canon EOS C500 Mark II, C300 Mark III, EOS C70, EOS R5C – aber auch dem XF605 Camcorder, sowie diversen PTZ Kameras (CR-N700, CR-N500, CR-N300, und CR-X300) zu Gute kommen wird. Darüber hinaus hat Canon auch eine neue Multi-Camera Control App angekündigt.
Die für viele Canon Cinema EOS User spannendsten neuen Funktionen des Firmware-Updates dürfte die Nachreichung der digitalen Konverter-Funktion (ausgenommen EOS R5C, die diese bereits hat), die höhere Flexibilität bei der File-Benennung bei Proxy-Aufnahmen sowie das Zusammenspiel mit der neuen Canon Multi-Camera Control App sein, mit der bis zu vier Kameras von einem iOS Gerät via WiFi remote bedient werden können (Recording Start und Stop, Docus, Zoom und Blende, ND Filter, ISO, Shutter, White Balance und Custom Picture Controls).
Darüber hinaus erhalten die mit RF-Mount ausgestatteten Canon Cinema EOS Kameras Support für das ebenfalls https://www.slashcam.de/news/single/Canon-stellt-lichtstarkes-RF-24-105mm-F2-8-L-IS-US-18236.html (kürzlich hier vorgestellte, spektakuläre Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z Zoom
