Red has launched�firmware version 6.0.23 for its cameras, a significant update over previous version 5.3.42 that brings some useful features for still�photography.�In addition to new features, the firmware also introduces 21 bug fixes that correct various software issues like playback errors and the camera freezing.

Included in the new firmware are a Stills Multi-Shot recording mode and a Motion + Stills recording mode. Multi-Shot enables burst shooting of still images with the ability to limit the total number of frames captured. Motion + Stills makes it possible to mark frames�for potential extraction later while recording clips. A new function of the still/movie slider is also enabled, as�it now toggles between video recording and a still-optimized recording mode.

With firmware 6.0.23, Red’s cameras also gain auto IP support, user 3×3 gain controls, pre-record ramp support, remote control panel support, 60fps project frame rate support, ‘Swipe Up’ menus, a few REDCAST improvements, and more. The Dragon camera in particular also has received tethered stills and recording support, 3D LUT, and clip viewer and thumbnail support.

A full list of changes in firmware version 6.0.23 is available on Red’s forums, as well as links to downloads for its various camera models.
