ARRI just released a new remedial firmware update for the ALEXA Mini LF. Dubbed ALEXA Mini LF SUP 6.0.20,
The latest firmware update contains no new features as those remain the way there were in the previous ALEXA Mini LF SUP 6.0.16, however, the new firmware does add significant improvements to the reliability of the camera as well as a few bug fixes.
An example of such improvements in the slight speed reduction of the build-in filter movement in order to further improve the reliability of the Full Spectrum ND filter slider. SUP 6.0.20 also fixes a few bugs with the Magnification function, where values would not be correctly recalled after a reboot and/or a factory reset.
