Massiv opdatering af Panasonic LUMIX S1RII

For ikke så længe siden testede vi Panasonics S1RII og blev begejstrede. Nu er der opdateringer til kameraet, som sandsynligvis også vil begejstre.

Som antydet i testen var der en opdatering på vej, som gav kameraet 8,1K og 7,2K Open Gate-video i 3:2-format, men det var ikke alt. Panasonic har arbejdet på en række nye funktioner, herunder focus stacking, som gør det muligt for makrofotografer at stable eksponeringer oven på hinanden med forskellige fokuspunkter på hver for at øge dybdeskarpheden og dermed billedets skarphed.

Denne og alle andre nye funktioner er inkluderet i en firmwareopdatering, der nu er tilgængelig gratis på Panasonics Lumix-kamerasupportsider:
