AtomOS 11.02.00 is the first major update for the Shinobi II to introduce exciting new features, and camera control support for two new camera vendors.
With this update, we now support controlling many hybrid mirrorless cameras from both Fujifilm and Nikon, thus significantly expanding the lineup of compatible cameras for camera control on the Shinobi II.
Controllable functions for both Fujifilm and Nikon cameras:

Perhaps the most popular feature request we've received after launch was adding an option to set the camera's focus point directly via the touch screen interface of the Shinobi II. AtomOS 11.02.00 adds this feature to the Shinobi II for 9 popular cameras, with more and more cameras getting supported through firmware updates in the future.
Compatible cameras with the Touch to Focus feature:
Since the Shinobi II isn't just popular with filmmakers, but also Photographers, we've added a dedicated Shutter Release button that replaces the Video record trigger when you want to use your camera in Photo mode instead. You can enable it via the Control menu.
This allows you to trigger your cameras photo capture directly from the Shinobi II, which could be particularly helpful when using your camera to shoot multiple exposures for HDR bracketing, focus stacking, or similar workflows.
Another popular request we received was bringing the Arri False Color, and EL Zone™ colorized exposure modes from the AtomOS 11-enabled Ninja and Shogun products to the Shinobi II. Both modes are now selectable via the False Color option in the bottom row menu, where you can cycle through the different modes on the fly.
