The OCTOPUS CAMERA LF has a finalized body design with SDI output, LEMO power connector, Wi-Fi, USB-C Thunderbolt 3 and HDMI ports. OCTOPUS CINEMA has also upgraded the camera with an 8K global shutter sensor that is larger than full-frame and enables the camera to capture oversampled 4K 14-bit CinemaDNG internally to CFast cards or 8K RAW externally to SSD.

In April 2020, we covered the camera’s development the last time, when OCTOPUS CINEMA shared sample footage from the Micro Four Thirds color sensor version and announced that the camera will support digital audio input over USB.
