Sony has unveiled an unusual mirrorless camera that essentially marries the FX6 cinema camera's tech with remote-controlled robotics. Called the FR7, it's the "world's first" pan-tilt-zoom full-frame interchangeable-lens camera with pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) robotic technology, according to the company. Priced at nearly $10,000 without a lens, it's designed for professional productions including reality shows, concerts, dramas, music videos and more. For instance, it could be mounted on dolly tracks, a crane or a tripod and remotely follow subjects around without getting in the way. It could also be fixed to a vehicle, with the pan-tilt-zoom capabilities giving the director more interesting angles and shots. The large sensor allows for a more cinematic image than typical robotic TV cameras, too.

HSBC's app and internet banking has stopped working for some of its customers, the bank has said. Users reported that they were unable to open the menus properly or make payments. The online chat system that is intended to help with problems was also unavailable. Users instead saw a message indicating that "something went wrong" and that they should try again later. "We're aware some customers are having problems using Online & Mobile Banking," HSBC said in a tweet.

Sony has released its first beta update for the PS5, allowing access to new features. Chief among them is a change that makes the M.2 SSD slot finally available for use. That allows for much faster read and write speeds, allowing the console's internal storage to be updated and used with the latest games. The update also brings some other smaller changes to the user experience, as well as fixing confusion over whether the console was downloading PlayStation 4 or 5 games. Until now, the console might accidentally play older versions of titles, but now different versions will appear separately and indicate which console they are intended for. Sony unveiled the beta programme for the PS5 last month, when it encouraged those interested to apply.
