Sometimes, new films demand such unique technical requirements that they end up pushing the boundaries of camera technology. The upcoming F1 movie is a perfect example—two tech giants, Sony and Apple, developed custom cameras specifically for capturing the extreme conditions of Formula 1 racing, with cars reaching speeds of up to 375 km/h. Let’s dive in to the “F1 cameras” used on this movie, and much, much more.

This week, we take a closer look at what it takes to shoot high-speed action like this, and how innovation behind the scenes shapes what we see on screen. We also touch on several other fresh updates from the world of cameras, lenses, and production tools.

Tune in for an insightful conversation!
