Added Video Features
- The option for the low-bitrate video format "MP4(Lite)" can now be selected.
- Improved compatibility when used with our interchangeable lens S-R100500 and teleconverter (DMW-STC14/STC20).
Improved thermal control algorithm for longer recording time
- The thermal control algorithm has been improved to make it less affected by environmental factors.
* Under certain conditions where the ambient temperature around the camera changes rapidly (for example, when moving from indoors to outdoors or when the camera is exposed to direct sunlight, causing the body temperature to rise rapidly) the video recording time could become shorter.
Other Functionality Improvements and Enhancements
- When [Constant Preview] is set to [OFF], an icon indicating that the preview effect is disabled will be displayed on the shooting screen..
- ISO Auto can be set in the [ISO Displayed Setting] menu in the Custom Menu.

- Added a 1.6x display option for the Anamorphic Desqueeze Display.
- When Dual Native ISO is set to AUTO, the base ISO sensitivity is now visible on the ISO sensitivity setting screen.
- In both Photo Mode and Playback Mode, the default setting for functions registered to the sub video rec. button has been changed to "No Setting."
* This change takes effect after performing a reset following a firmware update.
* If you have previously customized the Fn assignment before the firmware update, the current assigned function will remain after the update.
- Improved processing time during focus stacking through algorithm enhancements.
Support for RAW video output via HDMI to ATOMOS recorders has been added.
- [8.1K(3:2)], [8.1K(17:9)], [7.2K(3:2)], [5.7K(17:9)], and [4.8K(4:3)] 12-bit RAW video data can be output over HDMI.

* This does not guarantee all performance capabilities.
* "NINJA V+", "NINJA ULTRA", "SHOGUN ULTRA", and "SHOGUN CONNECT" support all video RAW data. "NINJA V", "NINJA", and "SHOGUN" do not support certain video RAW data.
* To edit video RAW data recorded with ATOMOS recorders, software that is compatible with Apple ProRes RAW is required.
Support for RAW video output via HDMI to Blackmagic Design recorders has been added.
- [8.1K(3:2)], [8.1K(17:9)], [7.2K(3:2)], [5.7K(17:9)], and [4.8K(4:3)] 12-bit RAW video data can be output over HDMI.
- The Blackmagic Design recorders “Blackmagic Video Assist 5" 12G HDR” and “Blackmagic Video Assist 7" 12G HDR” allow for recording in Apple ProRes RAW.
* This does not guarantee all performance capabilities.
* When recording in 8.1K (3:2) 24p, 8.1K (17:9) 30p/25p, 7.2K(3:2) 30p/25p, 5.7K 60p/50p or 4.8K 60p/50p, constant bitrate 5:1 or less is recommended for SSD recording and 8:1 or less for SD card recording.
* DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Resolve Studio is required to play back and DaVinci Resolve Studio to edit Blackmagic RAW data.
Compatibility with DJI gimbals has been improved.
- Bluetooth connectivity has been enabled for use with DJI gimbals.
* This does not guarantee all performance capabilities.
Timecode Sync functionality with external devices has been added.
- Bluetooth connection with ATOMOS UltraSync BLUE now allows for timecode synchronization.
* This does not guarantee all performance capabilities.
Feature addition via upgrade software key "DMW-SFU3A"
- An [Activation] feature has been added to enable extended functions using the separately sold upgrade software key "DMW-SFU3A."
By performing "Activation," the [Photo Style] [ARRI LogC3] will be added.
Video quality options for recording in [MOV] have been added.
- Added video quality options for [8.1K (3:2)] and [7.2K (3:2)].
