New Cameras, Performance Improvements, Timelapse Improvements

Hey everyone. We've got a new app/firmware release today with some exciting things in it.

New Cameras

After what seems like a long gap, camera companies seem to be releasing a lot of new cameras this summer.

We just released version 2.0.94 to the iOS and Android app stores. This release adds support for the Sony A6700, Canon R5C (when the camera is on the Photo dial only), and the Nikon Z6iii. We've been working on adding the Fuji X-T5, but it's got some issues we still need to work through to get it supported. (So no guarantees yet we will be able to get it added)

We will also be getting the Canon R5 ii and R1 in as soon as they are available to see if it's possible to add support for them.

Performance Improvements

If you're on a newer Sony camera, you'll now see an option under Settings called "Only Send JPG's to Arsenal when in RAW+JPG". This setting mirrors the "Still Img. Save Dest" setting on those cameras and lets you control what is sent to Arsenal from the app.

While the transfer speed between Arsenal and Sony cameras is quite fast, RAW files are still very large. (Especially on the A7RiV and A7RV.) Unlike Canon and Nikon cameras, we can't pull in the RAW file later, so we have to either pull it in shortly after it's shot or we can't get it at all.

You'll need the RAW file's sent to Arsenal if you want to use DeepColor or save a copy of the RAW files to Arsenal's microSD card slot. Otherwise you can disable the option and everything will be quite a bit faster. Arsenal already disable this option for Timelapses and Panoramas where the RAW download time would significantly hurt the experience. Now you can control if you want it on the rest of the time.

Do note that this setting only appli
