Payload Camera Firmware Update

LR1 Payload

LR1 cameras have shipped on versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.

To use APS-C mode, update your LR1 camera to firmware v3.0 or later. LR1 cameras on firmware v1.0.0 do not reliably accept the APS-C command. Early-batch LR1s (unit shipped before October 2024) are most likely to be on v1.0.0. APS-C mode is available on Astro firmware 2.2

To update your camera:

Connect an HDMI cable and monitor to the camera		We recommend this cable
