An updated version of the Hawkeye Firefly 8S action camera. It has a 2" touch screen LCD, QuickUI for easy camera operating and improved lens with less CA (chromatic aberrations - purple fringing).

Firefly 8SE first impressions. A really good camera has become even better! Severe CA (purple fringing) artefacts that were seen in 8S footages are almost gone now.

100% zoomed crops:


Fullsize snaps from 4k30 video clips: 8S / 8SE

New 8SE lens brings more noticeable improvements in image quality. The colors are shifted to warmer tint and became more neutral and less bluish as well as overall image contrast was increased a bit.


UPD: The new lens definitely compares one used in HERO5/HERO5 Session cams.

8SE camera compared with GitUp Git2. 1080p60 video mode. EIS on.

Здравствуйте.прошу помочь со следующей проблемой.Случайно установил прошивку с камеры Firefly 8s на Firefly 8SE,ничего не могу сделать для того чтобы вернуть обратно прошивку 8SE

[nutsey]

Случайная установка неподходящей прошивки невозможна в силу того, что имя файла уникально для каждой из версий.

[Man LG]

Все таки если способ вернуть родную прошивку или нет?Хотел поменять прошивку черезАМБА ЮСБ , но к сожалению не нашел, на оффициальном сайте программа не доступна.

Спасибо получилось)) Только первоисточник проблемы отвалившийся вай фай так и не вылечил((

nutsey do you know how the 8s 90 degree version compares to the 8se 90 degree in thems of image quality(CA and sharpness)? The 8s is cheaper so....

[nutsey]

Same lens = same image quality.

[johnevans]

The 8SE 170 lens is a different construction to the 8S and I'd imagine the 090 on the SE will be a new lens too

[nutsey]

Hawkeye confirmed the 90-degree lens used in the 8SE is the same with the 8S model. A better lens will be used in upcoming Firefly X camera.

U99 firmware update

DOWNLOAD: BIN / ELF

What's new:
- Fixed frame drops in 1080p120 video mode.

[kkaw]

I think I am also getting frame drops in 1080p 60 fps video mode. Is that fixed also?

[relaxman]

What about 8S? When can we have stock firmware with proper 120p?

Do you know anything?
thx

[nutsey]

I'm not sure about it. I've been asked to help only with the 8SE, but there are no problems to do the same with the 8S cam.

[relaxman]

thanks, then i wait
or pls release a "MOD2" firmware with proper 120p which is sharp

I don't find any. All I noticed is selectable HDMI resolution and huge OSD shooting mode icons.
