This week's Firmware Friday roundup arrives just a little late, as your humble editor's been under the weather the past few days, and I didn't manage to finish writing it last night. In part, that was down to the amount of news there was to cover -- in the past seven days, we've seen updates from Blackmagic, Canon,...
After something of a record-breaker last week, this week's Firmware Friday roundup returns to a more manageable size. It's also a tale more of software than of firmware this time around, with only one camera having been updated in the past seven days, but many applications on the list to talk about.
Let's get...

It's Canon which is providing the majority of the update news this week, as it works to correct six security vulnerabilities recently uncovered by...
This week's Firmware Friday roundup is more a story of imaging accessories than of camera firmware per se, but we've still a fair bit to discuss. As well as updates for the Ricoh GR III large-sensor compact, and for Blackmagic's professionally-targeted URSA Mini Pro G2 video camera, we've also news of new firmware...
Our Firmware Friday roundup for this week is a biggie, with no less than eight video cameras and nine still cameras on the list, plus another five updates on the software side of things. Truth be told, though, part of the reason for the size of the roundup is that I've just caught an error that stopped any of...
Our regular Firmware Friday roundup returns this week with news of updates for two cameras from Blackmagic Design, around a dozen different lenses and mount converters from Sigma, and one software package apiece from Fujifilm and Olympus. We've quite a lot to discuss, so let's get right down to it!

Our regular Firmware Friday roundup is a little unusual this week, as it includes not just official firmware from the manufacturers themselves, but also news of a couple of third-party firmware hacks. (As always with these unofficial updates, you run the risk of bricking your camera and turning it into a rather...
Firmware Friday is here once more, after a brief hiatus while I was out of town shooting Sony cameras in Austin, Texas, and then feeling under the weather with a bug I picked up on my return home. Since we've missed a couple of weeks, I've done my best to catch up not only on this week's firmware news, but also on...

Our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a brief one, as there's only one new camera firmware release we're aware of since our last roundup. The device receiving the update is the Blackmagic URSA, an impressive 4K-capable Super 35-format camera with a pricetag to match. (It lists for around $5,000 in the US...
