Kuuvik Capture 6

January 18, 2024

New features: • Improved USB connection problem detection on iPadOS 17. Fixes: • The mirror is now lowered on 1DX series cameras after taking a single image with the "Nothing" download setting and the camera's mirror lockup set to [Enable: Mirror down w/SET].

January 4, 2024

New features: • Added support for Canon EOS R6 Mark II, R8, R50 and R100. • Added audio recording level indicator in movie mode. • The Record/Stop button turns red during movie recording to function as a tally lamp. • Added support for 1/8-stop aperture increments in movie mode for EOS R series cameras. • Live view can be restarted automatically. Immediately or after 2/4/8/16 seconds following a single image capture. • Option to disable captured image downloading. • Improved mouse wheel focusing, including support for using the Shift key as a large step modifier. • To restrict AF to the specified AF point, [AF: Whole area tracking servo AF] is set to [Off] and [AF: Subject to detect] is set to [None] automatically on cameras having these settings. • Added a context menu to the histogram for controlling clipping warnings. • The revamped USB communication engine establishes camera connections faster and is immune to card content enumeration issues. Changes: • RAW data is not loaded automatically for images made with in-camera distortion correction, as it may cause RAW clipping warnings to become unaligned with the displayed preview image. This new loading behavior can be changed with the updated "Automatically load RAW data" setting. • "Prefer RAW" is turned off when a RAW clipping warning layer is turned off. Turning "Prefer RAW" on will automatically turn on both RAW clipping warning layers. • The bracketing monitor is disabled in movie mode. • Canon EOS cameras discontinued 10 or more years ago (1D Mark IV, 60D, 550D, 600D, 650D, 1100D, Rebel T2i, Rebel T3, Rebel T3i, Rebel T4i, Kiss X4, Kiss X5, Kiss X6i, Kiss X50) are considered obsolete. Kuuvik Capture may continue to work with these cameras, but we no longer validate compatibility and no longer provide bug fixes or technical support for obsolete cameras. Fixes: • Worked around the missing daylight savings time option in the EOS R5 C to ensure that time and time zone in VIDEO mode are always the same as those set by the app in PHOTO mode. • Corrected a problem where the device's pairing name might appear garbled on the camera. • Running a sequence with Cmd+R is disabled when there's no camera connected. • Fixed a possible crash when tapping the "?" button in unsupported bracketing configurations. • Trackpad and mouse wheel zooming now works properly when "Reverse Direction" is turned on.

Changes: • Raised the minimum required firmware version for Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R. Fixes: • Worked around a bug in the firmware of multiple Canon EOS cameras released in the recent years that causes camera restart or temporary malfunction if a focus drive operation is attempted with no lens attached. • Corrected a possible problem that might lead to incorrectly executed focus brackets with DSLRs when bulb exposures are used while shooting RAW+JPG and downloading just the JPG.
