New firmware update and much improved AF

[Timothy Jones]

Just updated my Raptor S35 and very happy with AF improvement. I find it much better and am surprised no one has mentioned it on here.

I posted user tests on this thread.
I only played around with it a little on my KX as I mostly had shoots on my K OGs this week.
My quick test was at home in lower light at night so I couldn’t really judge.
The general AF behavior is definitely smoother and not as erratic as before.

The Face tracking has issues in lower light but seemed to track well with better lighting conditions.
I’ll have actual filming with the KX later in the month so will try out more leading up to those shoots.

I will say that it’s commendable that RED and Nikon were able to move this quick on this type of update.

Really need this on Komodo OG as well.

AF opens REDs up to a much bigger market.
