🎥 New Facecam 4K Firmware — Sharper, Cleaner, More Accurate Video
Facecam 4K is getting a major firmware update, adding tint control and big improvements to image quality. The enhancements in firmware 2.49 include:
- Improved 2D and 3D noise reduction resulting in less noise
- Less motion blur
- Better color accuracy (especially for red and pink)
- Less noise in uniform colors
- Better contrast
- Improved overall sharpness
- Increased target luma for brightness, fine tuned gamma
- Reduced flatness and improved dynamic range in HDR
- Enhanced facial details in both SDR and HDR modes
We’ve also added manual Tint control. Alongside the existing white balance (orange/blue) adjustment, you can now fine-tune the magenta/green balance for even more precise color.
