Atomos' popular Shinobi II monitor has received a significant boost with the release of firmware update 11.03.00. This update expands camera control support to even more camera models, improves the already impressive touch-to-focus feature, and includes general bug fixes and reliability enhancements.
The 5-inch, 1500nit HDR monitor, launched earlier this year, is a favorite among vloggers, creatives, and photographers. Following user feedback, the 11.03.00 update enhances the touch-to-focus functionality, now allowing users to set a focus point even in AF tracking mode for previously supported cameras. This update also extends touch-to-focus compatibility to the Canon EOS R1, Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Canon EOS R7, Nikon Z8, Sony FX3, and Sony FX30.
“It’s a Christmas present to our loyal users! The overwhelming success of AF touch to focus from our Shinobi II HDR screen has meant a new improved workflow for videographers and photographers alike,” commented Jeromy Young, Atomos CEO. “Now, with support for the most popular Canon, Sony, and Nikon cameras, this is a true revolution in camera operation. We are listening to customers and supporting the cameras they use; we will continue to upgrade Shinobi II based on this feedback,” added Young.
Further improvements in this update include added camera control for the Fujifilm X-T5, X-T4, X-T3 models, and the addition of Fujifilm F-LOG2 Log/HDR conversions. The update is available for download from www.atomos.com/support. The Shinobi II is priced at USD/EUR 349 (GBP 295, AUD 545), excluding local sales taxes.
