Atomos’s Shinobi II touch-to-focus supports Canon, Sony, Nikon cameras
With the release of firmware update 11.03.00, Atomos’ popular Shinobi II monitor has received camera control support for even more camera models, improved touch-to-focus for already supported models as well as for other feature improvements.
Launched in the summer of 2024 to wide acclaim, Shinobi II is a slim, lightweight, 5-inch daylight viewable, 1500-nit high dynamic range (HDR) monitor designed for vloggers, creatives, and photographers.
In response to customer feedback, touch-to-focus was added with a firmware update in October. This feature has now been further enhanced with the 11.03.00 update to include setting a focus point in AF tracking mode for already supported cameras.
Touch-to-focus has also been extended to the following camera models: 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,” was the enthusiastic statement of Jeromy Young, Atomos’ CEO. “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.
“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.”
This firmware update also adds camera control for Fujifilm X-T5, X-T4, X-T3, Fujifilm F-LOG2 Log/HDR conversions, as well as bug fixes and reliability improvements.
