| Would you use a touchscreen on a laptop for photo editing? |
| Yes, I already do Yes, I’d like to try it Maybe, it depends on how well it works No, I prefer other input methods |
| Posts That Stopped the Scroll |
| I’ve seen lots of posts lately about people hacking their cameras or installing custom firmware to add features they want. In the video below, photographer Emily Lowrey tries a camera “hack” she found from another photographer on Reddit, adding a hue/saturation wheel to her PEN F so she can adjust colors in-camera. It could be a neat tool for those who want to spend less time editing. |

| The TT350 II wasn’t the only flash Godox released this week. Godox’s new iM10 is its smallest flash yet, at 40 x 40 x 30mm (1.57 x 1.57 x 1.18″) and 23 g (0.8 oz). It’s a manual-only flash with four power levels and a universal single-contact hot shoe. The flash features a built-in battery that charges over USB-C and lasts about 350 flashes at full power. It’s available to order for $25. |

| Alongside its newly released FP2, Sigma announced new accessories for the camera. They include the EVF-21 electronic viewfinder, the LVF-21 rear-screen loupe ($386) and the HU-21 hot shoe unit ($181), which you need to use an external flash. They’re available for preorder now. |

| SmallRig has FP2 accessories ready, too. Its $80 cage adds a wooden grip, a NATO rail, an Arca-Swiss base and an HDMI cable clamp. A lighter L-shaped plate keeps the wooden grip and Arca base for $50. Both are available for preorder now. |
| Firmware Updates |
| It was a quieter week for firmware, with an update for Sony’s A7R VI and two Nikkor Z lenses. |
| Sony (A7R VI): Firmware 1.02 lets you use Preset Focus with lenses that don’t have power zoom, though Sony says some aren’t supported. It also fixes an issue where the monitor could turn on while the camera was off, one where manual focus could become unavailable in movie mode, and improves stability. Nikon (Nikkor Z 14-24mm F2.8 S): Firmware 1.10 makes manual focus adjustments depend on how far you turn the focus ring rather than how quickly, when the focus ring rotation range is set to an option other than non-linear. It also adds support for the camera’s Switch focus/control ring roles setting. Nikon (Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S II): Firmware 1.10 makes the aperture more reliable and quieter. |

| Mitchell Clark was working on our review of the Canon R6 V and ran into an issue where the specific menu item he wanted to show wouldn’t output over HDMI. So, he had to get a bit creative in order to share that information. |
