DJI has issued a new firmware update for the Ronin-S that adds the ability to take photos, record video and control zoom with Sony cameras, as well as add AF and focus poll compatibility for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III.
As well as the support for Sony cameras and the Canon 5D Mark III, DJI Ronin-S firmware version 1.5.0.40 adds the following functionality:
What’s New?
- Added ability to take photos, record videos, and control zoom for Sony cameras using the Multi-Camera Control Cable (Multi-USB). To use autofocus on Sony cameras, press halfway down on the gimbal’s camera control button.
- Added autofocus and focus pull support for Canon EOS 5D Mk III with supported EF lenses. To use autofocus on the Canon EOS 5D Mk III, press halfway down on the gimbal’s camera control button.
