Social includes the target audience of content creators, prosumers, and the elementary-level professionals who are working on content creation to get it published on free media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.
Mr. Young added, so far, the RAW video has been just for limited-feature cinema cameras that are usually priced beyond the reach of many consumers. But now Atomos and Nikon have equipped the social content creators with the same quality and flexibility in the video that they would have come to expect from RAW photos at affordable prices.
Along with better image quality, Atomos commits to continue giving amazing features like autofocus and high megapixels stills in order to preserve the maximum creativity.
