Atomos is listening to customers and has released firmware update 11.03.00 for their Shinobi II HDR monitor, introducing new features and expanding compatibility with various camera models. The update enhances the touch-to-focus functionality, introduces camera control support for additional models, and includes various improvements based on user feedback. Let’s look at the details!

The Shinobi II is a 5in/12cm HDR monitor with a 1500-nit brightness, designed for daylight visibility and with features that cater to vloggers and other creatives who are on the move and need something portable and easy to use. Atomos released the second iteration of the Shinobi II monitor this summer, redesigned to be brighter and slimmer than the original model released in 2019, and added the Touch to Focus feature with update 11.02.00 in October. With the current firmware update, users can now set focus points in autofocus (AF) tracking mode for supported cameras.

In addition to the ability to set focus points in AF, this update has expanded Touch to Focus camera support for Canon EOS R1, Canon EOS R5 Mark II, Canon EOS R7, Nikon Z8, Sony FX3, and Sony FX30 cameras. Fujifilm F-LOG2 Log/HDR conversions have also been added, alongside bug fixes and overall reliability improvements. Here is a walkthrough of the Shinobi II if you don’t already own one and would like to see how it works:

It’s a Christmas present to our loyal users, the overwhelming success of AF touch to focus from our Shinobi II HDR screen has meant a new improved workflow for videographers and photographers alike. Now, with support for the most popular Canon, Sony and Nikon cameras, this is a true revolution in camera operation. We are listening to customers and supporting the cameras they use; we will continue to upgrade Shinobi II based on this feedback.
