The new release corrects direction of manual gamma setting

Atomos has made available a new firmware package developed for its Shogun camera-mounted recorder, namely version 6.2, which improves drive compatibility, corrects direction of manual gamma setting, and includes several other changes.

If applied, this new release will correctly reset the take number after disk format, add larger audio meters so that ballistic levels are easier to spot, and will also include the ability to load 3D LUTs viewable through a new Display Options button located on the home screen.

In addition to that, Avid DNxHD (HD) and DNxHR (4K) record/playback is now possible, 4K input can now be downscaled to 1080p on the loop-out port, and a preview frame of the selected clip can be displayed within the browser.

Last but not least, applying Atomos’ new release enables the separation of analog gain settings for left and right channels using some new audio options. However, this feature requires certain settings to be set up.

When it comes to updating your Shogun recorder, simply save and unzip the downloadable archive, transfer the firmware file onto a formatted memory drive, insert it into your recorder while turned off, and power on the device.

At this point, Atomos’ unit will automatically recognize the new version and start applying it. Bear in mind that flashing lines of color might be visible on the display, and since this behavior is normal, make sure not to power off your recorder - it will turn off by itself once upgraded.

If all has been performed properly, you should now be able to power on Atomos’ Shogun device, go to Menu > Shogun Info > AtomOS Version, and read the newly installed 6.2 build number. Also, don’t forget to remove and erase the memory card (you don’t want to update it twice).

That being said, download Atomos Shogun Recorder Firmware 6.2, carefully apply it on your device, and check our website as often as possible in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
