Blackmagic Support: What's New in Camera Setup 2.6?

Blackmagic Design has recently released Camera Update 2.6, which brings a significant amount of improvements and enhancements to their camera lineup, particularly with regards to Viewfinder support. This update marks an important milestone as it paves the way for the imminent shipping of the Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder and potentially the new URSA Mini cameras.

One of the key features of this update is the addition of Viewfinder support for all Blackmagic URSA cameras, including the upcoming URSA Mini models. This means that users will be able to take full advantage of their camera's built-in viewfinder, which provides a more immersive and accurate shooting experience.

In addition to Viewfinder support, Camera Update 2.6 also includes some performance enhancements and improvements, which should result in a smoother and more efficient workflow for Blackmagic URSA camera users. The update also adds an option to display timecode input by tapping on the timecode display, making it easier to keep track of your footage.

It's worth noting that this update is relatively light on new features compared to some of Blackmagic Design's previous firmware updates. However, considering the significance of Viewfinder support and the imminent shipping of the URSA Mini cameras, Camera Update 2.6 is still a major development for the company.

To install the software, it's recommended that you run 'Uninstall Camera Setup' first before loading the software on your Blackmagic Cinema Camera EF or MFT. Additionally, if you're using a Thunderbolt port with your camera, be aware that there may be some slight flickering on the built-in LCD screen when loading the software.

Overall, Camera Update 2.6 is an important milestone for Blackmagic Design and their camera lineup. The addition of Viewfinder support and performance enhancements make it an essential update for any Blackmagic URSA camera user.
