With Version 2.0 is that you can now do touch screen focus control. In Cine EI mode, face/eye detection AF performance has been improved when shooting in S-Log3. When the Focus Area is set to Flexible Spot or Zone, the focus area frame can now be moved using touch operation.ĪF transition speed and AF subject shift sensitivity can now also be assigned to assignable buttons.
AF ImprovementsĮye detect is now supported along with face detection.
If you are in the Cine EI mode then you won’t have access to these new higher ISO levels. Now, there is a catch, you can only use these new higher ISO levels when you are in the HDR/SDR shooting modes. When the gain setting mode is set to dB, values up to 27dB can be configured. When the gain setting mode is set to ISO, values up to the maximum ISO 102400 can be configured. The configurable range for ISO and Gain when Base Setting >Shooting Mode in the Project menu is set to SDR or HDR has been expanded. When HDR is selected, the color space is expanded to ITU-R BT.2020 equivalent. Live: Characteristic conforming to ITU-R.Natural: Characteristic conforming to ITU-R, BT.2100(HLG).The two following types of HLG are available. Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) is now supported to enable shooting with expanded dynamic range. It would have been nice to have been able to record ProRes RAW directly to an Atomos device without needing to buy the $2,498.00 USD XDCA-FX9. Unfortunately, this is a very expensive way to capture RAW and it also makes the footprint of the camera a lot larger. RAW output supportĪ RAW video signal can be output from the RAW OUT connector of an XDCA-FX9 (optional) when it is attached to the FX9. This was a feature that FX9 users have been crying out for, and one that really should have been available at launch. User 3D LUT supportĪ CUBE file (*.cube) for a 17-point or 33-point 3D LUT created using RAW Viewer or DaVinci Resolve can now be loaded. If you want to shoot 4K DCI 50 or 60p the camera does so using a 5K scan mode.Ī 24p option has also been added to Rec Format >Frequency in the Project menu. The 4K DCI is only full-frame when you are shooting frame rates at 30p and below. This 5K crop uses an 82% area within the full-frame. You can record 4K DCI at up to 30p in full-frame, and 4K DCI at up to 60p with a 5K crop. 4K DCI is only available when you are using one of those above-mentioned modes. When Imager Scan Mode is set to FF 6K, FFcrop 5K, or S35 4K, the Video Format can now also be set to 4096×2160. This can be found in Rec Format >Imager Scan Mode in the Project menu. Added frame rate options for Slow & Quick Motion.Image quality improvements in S35 2K imager scan mode.Expansion of ISO/Gain configurable range.So let’s find out what is new in Version 2.0? If you are an FX9 owner, the firmware can be found at this link: Firmware Version 2.0 expands the camera’s shooting and recording capabilities, more on this later.
