Would really like to see an option to disable other false color modes. IE I only wanna use EL Zone, I have to tap the icon 3 times to shuffle through the 3 modes to get to the one I want every time, kinda annoying.
Great feedback — tell Atomos!!
No touch to focus for Sony fx30??????!
I’m sure they prioritized on popularity of the camera or whatever their research showed the majority of their users own. I know that’s a significant camera so I think it’s safe to say it’ll be added soon.
Thanks an amazing news, I just ordered the monitor, to learn the EL Zones System. I think you should make a video about it!
I also have a question @photojoseph In the video about exposure method you mention that when shooting V-Log you can go as much as +6.3 stops above middle grey and –8 stops below middle grey, for a total of 14.3 stops of dynamic range. Where can we find this information? How these values change depending on chosen ISO value ? I can't side any info...

As much as I can, yes, I stick to native ISO
@@photojoseph Thank you for the answer. I know that Black Magic publish such charts. It's a pity we don't have this to make our exposure choices more accurate. Maybe you can ask Panasonic ;) So do you personally stick to one of 2 native ISO values when shooting in VLog? Best regards and thank you for your excellent work.
Yeah that stuff isn’t really published. I’m an Ambassador so they share info like that with me so I can share it with you. Sites like DxO Mark and Cinema5D will rate them as well, which is your best source for independent measurements.
I'm waiting for OS11 on the Shiniobi 7 so I can match it with my Ninja V.. come on Atomos, you can do it!
Shinobi… 7? Oh the original 7”? I don’t know but I’d assume it’s older hardware that can run the new operating system.
Absolutely interested in EL Zone. I'm trying to get them to put it into the Shinobi 5 and 7, as well as in Davinci Resolve and OSEE monitors. Pretty much, everywhere.
People are really passionate about EL Zone. I really need to learn it!
Oooooffff - didn’t mention tap to focus ONLY works in single shot focus mode. No focus tracking on any supported cameras. Which, isn’t something a lot of video shooters use. That, paired with the fact the focus box disappears relatively quickly after tapping, so you’re in a spot focus mode without being able to see the spot you’re focusing on…
This is such an odd update that doesn’t really give the users what they wanted.

I honestly wasn’t aware of that. I’d have to try it out. You witnessed my first experience with it.
All I’m trying to say here is I love the Shinobi II. But this update to include tap to focus was half baked and they deserve to be roasted for it.
Oh hey, very exciting! I use EL Zone on my original Ninja V, and it was /the/ main feature that felt like it was missing from the Shinobi for me, so this is great!
P.S. I’ve had false color flip out on me when using RAW, maybe that could have something to do with the weird colors you’re getting? (This happens to me with a GH6 if it matters)

N’ah that was a camera pointing at the LCD. Gonna have to figure out how they happened. So weird.
On their website it says it works with the fx3&30, another YouTuber noted it wasn't much use as it didn't work when focus tracking is enabled and also the focus vanishes after a couple of seconds.
The monitor works with the fx3/30 with camera control. But “tap to focus” does not.
Can’t comment there; I don’t shoot Sony. Sounds like something isn’t set up right though. On LUMIX that isn’t an issue.
Can your camera be powered via dummy vmount and from there connect from camera usbc control port to shinobi 2 usbc and the shinobi 2 have both power and camera control via usbc ? So you dont have to have a battery on the shinobi2 but via vmount on say belt clip or back pack like ronin4d🤯🤣🫶💯Thank You
The Shinobi can’t get power from the camera. The cameras don’t send power out that way. To keep the weight off the Shinobi, put a DC coupler where the NP battery would go, like in this video https://youtu.be/HK5N3H8EQNs?si=iXhlvqEb2hH9J_Ot and in its thumbnail
Perfect timing Joseph! I ordered mine yesterday after Atomos put up a video showing that my Z9 is now supported. An EL zone video from you would be great, even though I have seen many on the topic you have a very pedagogical approach that appeals to my way of understanding concepts and how products work! 👍🏾🙏🏾 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
That’s a compliment and a half, thank you!
It would be so nice if you can make another video explaining the EL zone!!!🙏
You can’t touch to focus if you use a usbc powered camera because the USBC output is too weak to power most cameras. So R5C etc is out.
you literally saw me do that in this video, on a LUMIX S5IIx -- touch to focus while powered over USB-C. I don't use or own Canon; the R5 is on the compatibility list but the R5C is not. As with any product, its important to verify that your camera is supported.
Can you move the spot luminance around the screen, and do the camera controls work with the BGH1?
Spot luminance isn't supported, no. The BGH1 probably works for camera control but I haven't tried it, sorry. It's not on the list but its fully supported by LUMIX Tether.
Great review!
I got the s5 and s5II With the ninja V, tap to focus Will work someday With the ninja?

Thanks! I haven’t heard any discussion of this. I’d assume it’s not possible but I don’t actually know.
That video made my day, hearing EL Zone is available is awesome. It is something I requested from Atomos when I got the Shinobi2 a while back. Everything I’ve seen about it makes sense. The idea of thinking in F-Stops matches up with my light meter and the way I think about lighting ratios. I’d love it if you did a video about it. I was about to get a different monitor that supports the system but noticed some of the other Atomos products supported it and I was hoping it would come in a firmware update. I’m stoked! Extrashot has a good explanation.

Thanks! Glad to hear you’re so enthusiastic about it. I’ll look up Extrashot!
