Blackmagic Design just released firmware update 2.5, which primarily adds new features such as 720p/60 slow-motion to the Blackmagic Studio Camera and the Studio Camera 4K. The feature update is just for those two cameras, with the rest of the line-up unaffected, however the question still begs - will we see more slow-motion updates ported to the rest of the line up soon?

Installing Blackmagic Camera Setup Before installing the software, we recommend that you run "Uninstall Camera Utility" first. After loading the software on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera EF or MFT, you may notice a slight flickering on the built-in LCD screen. This is normal and expected behaviour. The flickering will go away after a few minutes of operation. The Blackmagic Camera Installer package installs:
  • Blackmagic Camera Setup
  • Blackmagic Media Express
  • Blackmagic UltraScope
  • Blackmagic Disk Speed Test
  • Blackmagic Multibridge Utility
