Panasonic S9 Become More Better with Latest Firmware Update Ver.1.3

One of the best budget cameras to record 6K open-gate recording, earlier or when it was announced, there was a 4K 15-minute recording limit in the camera, and for which it was criticized at the time of announcement. But Panasonic listened to us, and on October 9, 2024, they released their first firmware update, version 1.1, and they removed the recording limit. Now, it does not have any recording limit in 4K 30fps mode or even in open-gate recording as long as your memory card isn’t full or the camera doesn’t face any kind of overheating issues.

But again, practically, the overheating performance of this camera is very good, and users are quite happy with the usage of this camera. Just keep in mind the camera is using the first generation of hybrid autofocus similar to what was used with the Panasonic S5, S5II, and S5IIX, so autofocus tracking is not on par with Canon and Sony cameras.

In the latest firmware update, version 1.3, they have again tried to optimize the overall operational speed of the camera. Additionally, they fixed a problem where when connecting to a Wi-Fi network, the password was always required. Now, it has become a one-time entry, so overall connectivity performance has been improved along with the operational speed of the camera.

Dlownload the latest Update from here

Details of the update

  1. Feature changes due to security enhancements
    – When directly connecting the camera and smartphone via Wi-Fi, the connection has been changed to always require password authentication. (The [Wi-Fi Password] menu has been removed.)
    – The [TKIP] encryption method is no longer supported when connecting to Wi-Fi via an access point.
    – The [No Encryption] option in network authentication is no longer supported when connecting to Wi-Fi via an access point.
    – The image transfer feature to PC via Wi-Fi has been removed. (Only European/Ukrainian models)
  2. Other improvements
    – The startup speed when powering on has been improved.
    – The operational stability has been improved.

Nikon Z Cinema Camera Officially Announced

Today, the Z Cinema camera was officially announced. As we all know, RED Digital Cinema is now a subsidiary brand of Nikon. They have modified and relaunched the V-RAPTOR with a Z Mount and the KOMODO with a Z Mount.

We were the first ones to talk about the Z KOMODO [read our expectation article], and just a few months later, we received information about the RAPTOR. The context was that they were working on both series one after the other, and finally, they announced them today.

The new RAPTOR and KOMODO with the Z Mount feature inherit all the goodness of the Z Mount system. This means the autofocus performance has also been integrated into these cameras. So if you are using the recently announced Z Cinema lenses or Nikon Z Mount system lenses, there should be no problem. As we all know, the RAPTOR camera offers 20+ stops of dynamic range, and using it with improved autofocus lenses will be a game changer in the field of cinematography.

Olympus OM-1 Mark II vs. Olympus OM-3

Before we begin, let me tell you one thing: both cameras carry almost the same core specifications like sensors, image processors, and other technical aspects, so the image quality and video quality will be the same.

Here comes the design part: if you would like a slightly retro-looking camera, you can go with the Olympus OM-3, the latest edition. But if you love to have the Olympus OM-1 Mark II, why would you love it? Because it has a deeper DSLR-style hand grip. Another thing is that due to the type of body construction, there is no overheating issue associated with this particular camera. Now, the OM-3 heatsink isn’t as good as the OM1 II, so it may be prone to overheating while recording 4K videos for a longer period.

Which Camera is Recommended for You?

If you love to have a DSLR-style hand grip and a professional-grade weather-sealed rugged body, then the OM-1 Mark II is the better choice. Another thing—yes, we do have some slight photography advantages inside the OM-1 Mark II, like an extended ISO range. Right now, we don’t have confirmation about the OM-3, but it does not have a very high-resolution electronic viewfinder of 5.76 million dots, as well as a mechanical shutter range up to 1/8000 of a second.

Professional grip easy to carry heavier lenses with the camera, and even makes feels you more and more comfortable when you hold this camera for longer hours for shoot, like shooting an event or wedding

Even the continuous shooting speed of the mechanical shutter is approximately 10 frames per second in the Olympus OM 1 mark II, which is limited to 6 frames in the OM-3. So, if you look at all the possible core specifications in both cameras, then for photographers who don’t bother about the type of design they are getting and are not inclined towards the retro-style camera, the best option is to buy the OM-1 Mark II.

The Olympus OM3 is even marketed as a street-style Retro camera. Most of the pics used for promotion showed people holding their cameras with straps and using a lightweight lens, but again professionals who hold their camera hands for longer periods will surely prefer the OM1 Mark II

For Videographers and Photographers

The best thing recently introduced in the new OM-3 camera is the OM-Cinema Mode. With the OM-Cinema Mode, you get a decent, slightly less-contrasty color picture profile, which is more suitable for displaying your captured videos on 4K HD televisions.

But again, you have to consider one thing—if you are a podcaster who records for longer periods, then you should go with the OM-1 Mark II, since it doesn’t have any limitations like the 120-minute recording limit in 4K on the OM-3.

If you are into longer recording sessions, then for sure, the OM-1 Mark II is the best choice. Additionally, it supports Full HD video recording at 240 fps for slow-motion shots.

Again, the Cinema Mode in the OM-3 can be easily adjusted in post-processing, so it’s not a big thing.
