Panasonic has unveiled new firmware for the S5M2 (v3.0) and S5M2X (v2.0) mirrorless cameras scheduled for release on April 22, 2024. This major update will bring support for Adobe Frame.io "Camera to Cloud" technology for uploading JPEG/RAW images and proxy videos via Wi-Fi or USB connection, as well as proxy video recording, improved Phase Hybrid autofocus now with car and motorcycle detection, optimization of E stabilization.I.S. with a new "High" setting in the "E-Stabilization (Video)" mode to stabilize strong shake during video recording and correct perspective distortion when shooting with wide-angle lenses, and last but not least, the "SH Pre-burst" function that records a sequence of shots when the shutter is half-pressed until the shutter is fully pressed.

Two new EDIUS.NET podcasts report on speed optimizations in the new update and GPU acceleration, through the mouths of the developers themselves. There's also an outlook for the future, especially in terms of further planned performance improvements.

DJI presents the fourth generation of camera stabilizers, the DJI RS 4! The new DJI RS 4 and RS 4 Pro models bring smoother balance thanks to Teflon coating of the axes, a new stabilization algorithm, a "lock" display function (displaying basic information, low brightness) for lower power consumption, improved vertical shooting and automatic axis locking capabilities, and other innovations. While the DJI RS 4 models are already on sale, the planned additional DJI Focus Pro side-focus system will come to market on May 8, 2024, and will offer longer range LiDAR technology (up to 20 m) and higher accuracy (76,800 measurement points) for maximum precision autofocus with the ability to quickly switch to manual mode using the manual focus unit...
