  New firmware v.1.1 released today

  Posted by Deleted User on October 5, 2012 at 2:53 am

  For the few lucky folks who have a Blackmagic Cinema Camera in-hand, Blackmagic Design today released a new firmware update version 1.1 which includes long-promised support for DNxHD recording, plus new features: Support for EF lenses with IS (image stabilization), and some additional shutter angles.

  Below is a list I made of the reported new shutter angles and their shutter speed equivalents calculated using this website (to the best of my knowledge the list is correct; since I don’t have my camera yet I can’t confirm it, regrets).

  Below that is the text of BMD’s Read Me file (Mac version). I assume the Windows version of the Read Me file is similar:
