Improvements / Bug fixes>

1. USER 3D LUT exported by BlackMagic

DaVinci Resolve system

While using User 3D LUTs exported from

BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve system the picture was not shown as it intended to

be. This has been fixed. To use the exported 3D LUT properly please import the

3D LUT again into the PMW-F5/55.

NOTE: The .cube file needs to have a grid number of 33 or 17 and the

Input Range needs to be 0.0-1.0 equivalent. The file should also not include a

1D LUT or a space in front of the table data and Keyword to work properly with

PMW-F5/55.

2. Media ｓｅｌｅｃｔ for AXS media

In some cases recording to the AXS memory

card was not activated after doing a restart while shooting AXS/SxS

simultaneously. This has been fixed.

3. Clip number increment while using AXS

recording only

In some cases the clip number counting for

AXS recording on “Title” clip naming mode was reset (and started again from 1)

after turning off the camera. This has been fixed.

4. Name of lens file shown on the sub

display

In some cases the lens file name was not

shown correctly on the sub display. This has been fixed.

5. MLUT support while using SStP/Proxy

recording mode

In some cases the Proxy file is not

recorded with MLUT while using SStP/ Proxy recording mode. This has been fixed.

6. ABB function while using SStP format

While shooting in SStP recording format and

other frame rates except 24P it was not possible to use ABB function. This has

been fixed.
