Sit/Stand Framing automatically zooms in when a person sits and zooms out when they stand. Additionally, Canon's PTZ cameras receive firmware improvements. These include automatic RTMP and SRT streaming reconnection after network disruptions and reduced frame rates for web-based live feeds to optimize performance on busy networks. The Multi-Camera Control App, a free iOS application, now supports PTZ camera control. It offers functions like Pan/Tilt, Preset Selection, Auto Tracking on/off, and pinch zoom. The RC-IP1000 controller firmware update adds standard serial communication support for indoor PTZ camera control. It also improves camera pre-registration with a new long-press feature and a larger preset thumbnail layout. Finally, Cinema EOS and XF camcorders get enhanced virtual production support with Unreal Engine, allowing multiple computers to connect simultaneously. The update also enables in-camera playback of RAW video files with digital lens correction and improved on-screen display customization.
