Fujifilm passes Nikon for third, and YouTube resets its view count
From the Editor
Nikkei’s global camera shipment figures put Fujifilm ahead of Nikon in third place for the first time, a placing the brand holds despite the supply shortages that constrained its output over the past year. On the software side, Capture One Mobile 4.0 brings Enhanced Denoise, Heal & Clone, Color Balance and Keywords to iPhone and iPad, while YouTube changes how views are counted from August 24 and raises its Partner Program entry bar. A portrait prize shortlist, a night-sky contest gallery, and a $99 autofocus 85mm fill out the rest.
