Hackers have unlocked new capabilities in the Hasselblad X2D II 100C medium format camera using custom firmware based on open-source work by creator Radium Wang. A Chinese creator named 奶酪 built experimental firmware that adds video recording, a feature the camera lacks from the factory and which Hasselblad has not signaled plans to include. Radium Wang has also gotten Apple CarPlay and ChatGPT running on the camera, while Reddit user u/Unable_Ad_1804 loaded a Linux kernel onto it. The Github repositories Radium Wang created address individual camera features like LiDAR, autofocus, IBIS, and AF-C, opening possibilities for photographers to enhance the camera or build custom software for specialized applications. PetaPixel notes the comparison to Magic Lantern, open-source firmware for Canon cameras that enabled features like HDR video recording before Canon added them officially. The publication warns that loading custom software onto cameras carries risks, including potential warranty violations, terms of service breaches, and the possibility of bricking the device. There may also be legal implications to modifying camera source code.
