RED recently released a new beta firmware update for the RED KOMODO-X, version 1.1.0beta, that adds many new features and media recording supports. However, the main addition to this beta firmware update is the face-detection autofocus feature, which is compatible with Canon RF and EF lenses via an adapter. So, let’s take a closer look at everything new!
The RED KOMODO-X was introduced in May 2023, not as a replacement to the original KOMODO, but as a “proper” member of the RED DSMC3 lineup of cameras with a new 6K global shutter image sensor, increased recording framerates up to 6K80p, a CFexpress Type B slot instead of CFast 2.0, a built-in V-Lock battery mount, and much more.
Right on the heels of the RED V-RAPTOR that recently got a beta firmware update version 1.6.1 that also added face-detection autofocus capabilities, the RED KOMODO-X is receiving the same favors with its 1.1.0beta firmware update.
