360Rize 360Penguin Firmware Update 20181127

Firmware Update!

We promised to keep you and your 360Penguin updated when we have an update to make the camera better. We have one and we think you’ll like it!

This new update can be found on the Firmware Update Page as we detailed this past weekend on our blog page.  Here’s a little about it and how you can make it work! For those that already have a camera, you will have to go through this process. For anyone that has yet to order, we will send your 360Penguin to you fully updated with the best firmware we have as of the date it leaves our offices.

What will this update do?

360Rize 360Penguin Firmware Update 2Our most recent, 360penguin_firmware_update_20181126, has some really good updates that are going to make your 360Penguin even better. First, here’s what it will do for you.

  1. Your camera will act as a storage drive when plugged into your computer by USB-C, allowing you to see what’s on the drive. If you add power.mrk to the root of the SD card, the camera will only power up through the USB-C port.
  2. The EV Settings are now correct. You can control more of a light setting change as you select the values.
  3. ISO has also been modified for better lighting control in light and speed settings.
  4. Smoother stitch line between the images produced by the two lenses.
  5. We have also given you the option of black and white shooting!
