Firmware Friday+1: Blackmagic, Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Ricoh, Sigma and Sony offer updates aplenty


 
 

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,...

Firmware Friday: Faster focusing and more for Canon G5X II, Ivy Rec, 400 / 600mm L lenses and camcorders


 
 

After a mammoth article last week, our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a rather more modest affair. In fact, if you're not a Canon shooter you can move along now, because all of this week's news comes from Canon alone. A fair few different product categories are included, however.

First of all, we have news...

Firmware Friday: Software aplenty + firmware too from Blackmagic, Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Panasonic and Ricoh


 
 

We thought last week's Firmware Friday roundup was big, but this week it's a whole different ballgame, with a truly spectacular amount to discuss for folks shooting cameras from Blackmagic, Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic and Ricoh. We've referred to really large roundups like this as being "mega" in the past,...

Firmware Friday: Panasonic UC4000 and control gear updated; Fujifilm updates software for X-A7


 
 

This week's Firmware Friday roundup will be a brief one, with only a handful of updates apiece to discuss from Fujifilm and Panasonic, so we'll do away with the usual preamble, formatting and the like, and just get down to what's new, instead.

Fujifilm's updates are for its Raw File Converter EX 3.0 software for...
