Blackmagic Design Pulls Camera Update Over Bug

As reported by No Film School last week, Blackmagic Design rolled out Camera 6.9.3 update which allowed users to load custom LUTs and more to the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K cameras. The company has turned course and pulled the update from its support page and are now urging customers to roll back to Camera 6.9.2.

A spokesperson told No Film School that a bug has been found in Camera 6.9.3 that causes a problem with noise in highlights. Blackmagic Design also said they "are working on a fix" and "will have an improved update soon." This rollback affects the original URSA Mini Pro 4.6K, G2, as well as the URSA Broadcast camera.

This isn't the first time a company has pulled or changed its software on consumers. Most recently, after announcing Apple ProRes RAW support would be made available for the Panasonic LUMIX DC-S1H, Panasonic and Atomos pulled the support, saying they will need more time in order to correct a technical issue. To download Camera 6.9.2, visit the Blackmagic Design support page.

Why Did Danny Boyle Shoot ‘28 Years Later’ on an iPhone 15?

Here’s everything we know about the reports of the new ‘28 Years Later’ thriller being shot on an iPhone 15.

Move over, Sean Baker and Steven Soderbergh—Danny Boyle is the latest director to make the bold choice to shoot his latest feature film on an iPhone. Why, you ask? Partly, perhaps, because the team knows it will get them some nice headlines like this one. And partly just because they can.

Whether you love or hate the idea of shooting professional video on iPhones, it’s hard to argue that these latest smartphones aren’t capable of high-end video.

The iPhone 15, which is what Boyle and his team reportedly used for the long-awaited follow-up to the original 28 Days Later in 2002 and its 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, in particular, has proven to be a major step forward for Apple and was very much promoted as a filmmaking-capable camera.

Still, as is always the case with these smartphone-shot feature films, there’s more to the story than just the headline here. So let’s explore how Danny Boyle and his team were able to shoot 28 Years Later on an iPhone.
