R5C FW update brings DIS performance closer to IBIS?

Ty Harper · December 18, 2024

Haven't seen any tests yet nor have I had time to update to this latest FW myself, but early comments from those who have are suggesting that the updates to the R5C's DIS (#7 below) are really good. If true it would be a fantastic addition to an already amazing cam, imo.
