Apple today released a new 15.5 firmware for studio display, which was updated after weeks of testing. Studio display firmware improves webcam performance. The studio display firmware can be updated by connecting it to a Mac running MacOS Monterey 12.4, which was also released today.
After installing the new mac software, the owner of studio display can enter system preferences & gt; Software updates to install firmware.
Apple has been updating the firmware for studio display since March to resolve complaints about webcam quality.
Studio display is equipped with a 12 megapixel ultra wide camera to support the automatic alignment function of the face on the central stage, but studio display users found that the camera always produces granular and blurred images. Apple said that this is the result of the system not working as expected.
According to Apple's release notes, the firmware improves the adjustment of the camera and provides better noise reduction, contrast and viewfinder. The firmware update of the beta version has shown that the camera quality is significantly different, mainly due to the different viewfinder methods. As a result, the color is not so pale, the contrast is improved, and the whole looks more energetic. The skin color is also better than before, with less noise and clearer, but ultimately studio display users should not expect a very big change.
