By Jennifer P
In this article by Jose Antunes for ProVideo Coalition, Atomos announces a new free firmware update for its Shinobi II and Shinobi 7 RX monitors, significantly expanding camera compatibility. With the addition of more supported models across major brands like Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony, the update enhances the versatility of these industry-leading monitoring tools for filmmakers and content creators.
A key highlight of the update is the integration of USB-C connectivity across Atomos’ next-generation monitors and monitor-recorders. This allows users to control essential camera functions—such as ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and white balance—directly from the Shinobi monitors. By enabling remote camera control, Atomos streamlines on-set workflows and improves efficiency, reducing the need for direct interaction with the camera body during production.
The firmware also aligns the Shinobi series with the camera control capabilities found in Atomos’ newer Ninja monitor-recorders, including models like the Ninja RAW and Ninja TX series. Atomos emphasizes that compatibility will continue to grow through ongoing firmware updates, particularly for cameras that support tethered shooting over USB-C and are running the latest firmware versions.
Overall, this update reinforces Atomos’ commitment to delivering flexible, user-focused tools that enhance creative control while accelerating production workflows. The firmware is available now as a free download, with additional supported camera models expected in future updates.
