A recent Nikkei Asian Review report claiming Innolux would be scaling back LCD supplies to competitors because of Foxconn group policy was refuted by the LCD panel subsidiary recently.

The Nikkei report claimed Foxconn subsidiary Sharp will halt LCD panel supplies to Korean manufacturers Samsung, LG, as well as Chinese manufacturer Hisense next year. The report went on to claim Innolux, a LCD and TV panel maker under the Foxconn Group umbrella, would be reducing LCD panel supplies to Chinese companies.

Innolux stated even though it was a member of the Foxconn group, along with Sharp the companies were independent legal entities with separated operations. They had their independent client base, partners, and never discussed client strategies or supply quotas with each other. Innolux stated the Nikkei report put the company at risk of infringing anti-trust laws.

The statement further noted Innolux, was formerly a business of Chimei Electrics. Prior to Foxconn’s takeover in 2010, Chimei Electrics incurred massive financial and operation losses from violating Europe and U.S. anti-trust laws. It was a hard learned lesson for Taiwan’s technology industry, which was why Innolux has been careful in abiding to international anti-trust laws.

Innolux, Foxconn, and Sharp are three independent legal entities with separate operations, each have their own client base and partners. The companies do not discuss client strategy, shipment, or supply quotas with each other to prevent violating anti-trust regulations.

The three companies each have their own panel businesses, and are responsible towards their shareholders. Media reports claiming Foxconn will be monopolizing the global display markets, and consolidated Sharp and Innolux revenues into Foxconn’s. This violates listed company accounting principles and governance.

Innolux has always abided to countries laws and regulations, and base actions on fair market competition when dealing with Sharp and other competitors in the market.

Leica has released new firmware for its S and S-E medium format cameras that improves the quality of information displayed on the top plate and in the viewfinder. Firmware versions 4.0.0.0 for the S (Typ 007) and 2.5.0 for the S-E (Typ 006) also allows users to mark images with a rating that can be displayed in Adobe’s Lightroom and Bridge applications. With the firmware loaded the cameras will also remember the degree of magnification last used in review mode and automatically default to that next time the magnify button is pressed.

The information panels now provide more icons to indicate what modes the camera is using, and critically offer a measure of how much time capacity is left on the memory card when shooting video and how many more shots are left in the buffer for high-drive shooting in stills mode.

The new firmware is available for download now for customers who like to update for themselves, while others can take their camera to their nearest Leica store or service center.

New firmware updates are available today for the Leica S-System. Registered owners can log in to the Leica Owners’ Area and download the new firmware version 4.0.0.0 for the Leica S (Typ 007) and 2.5.0 for the Leica S/S-E (Typ 006) medium format cameras, or take their camera to a Leica Store or Leica Customer Care in the UK for a complimentary update service.

Leica works in close collaboration with users on the continuous development and optimisation of its products. As a result, a number of improvements in this latest firmware update are based on the direct recommendations and suggestions of professional photographers.

The new features of Firmware Update 4.0.0.0 include a revised layout for the top plate display panel, which now provides even more information for the user. The new ‘Rating Function’ is supported by Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC and Bridge CC software, and improves the workflow of selecting images – giving users much faster access to the images they have tagged.

With this firmware update, the most recently used zoom setting in review mode is now saved, enabling faster assessment of image sharpness/focus when reviewing a specific part of a picture. Distances displayed on the top panel can also be shown in feet, and it is now possible to see the remaining recording time when shooting video. Also new in this update is the ‘PC’ symbol, which indicates when the camera is connected to a computer. In addition to the above, the first resistance point of the shutter release now displays the number of exposures remaining for sequential shooting (maximum buffer memory) in the viewfinder, and the new ‘mirror-up’ icon appears on the camera monitor screen.
