What's New in 0 LUX
1.2.1
October 30, 2026
New in 1.2.1: the real display of each camera. - Every deck now shows the on-screen display its real camcorder had while shooting, in that camera's own lettering and icons. TAPE '98 gets the thin Hi8 row of battery, tape and counter. TAPE '04 gets the big bold Digital8 numbers. DISC '07 gets the 2007 touch-screen layout with the HOME button, SP and hard-disk minutes left. - Straight to the camera after the intro. The Pro offer now only shows after you've shot something. - NIGHT and TIMER keys on the 0 LUX deck too. - The light stays on when you zoom between the 0.5x and 1x lenses. - Redeem a code: Pro gift codes can be entered from the Pro page or the menu. - Lower Pro price in many countries.
