Your Firmware Wish List – Tell Fujifilm!

I recently wrote an article where I basically run through the entire history of Fujifilm Kaizen firmware updates.

I ended up inviting Fujifilm to keep up their Kaizen spirit.

Now, I have no idea how things will develop in future.

But I have wishes and hopes. And I thought that, after a long time, it might be high time to share again our firmware wishes.

I certainly hope for the fully automatic subject detection mode to come to all 5th generation cameras (and I showed Fujifilm how easy that could be implemented).  I am not a video guy, but why no waveform monitor, vectorscopes and anamorphic mode on all 5th generation cameras? I want more cameras with touch-to-track autofocus in video. And please, panoramic mode on 40MP cameras would be nice too.

And why shouldn’t the Fujifilm X-T50 and X-M5 also be able to store custom recipes on their FS1/FS3 positions? And what about direct to Instax print option?

Also, it never hurts to get some autofocus boost. I mean, for what I do, it’s already amazing. But being 85% as good as other brands is not good enough these days. It’s time to match other brands in terms of AF performance.

INSTRUCTIONS:

You’re welcome to share your wishes in the comments below.

Just in case later I decide to turn them into a survey, it would be helpful if you upvote existing comments that already include your wish, and post a new comment only if your idea hasn’t been mentioned yet.

About a Forgotten Fujifilm Camera, the Fujifilm X-T6, the Soul of Photography, Rumored Firmware Update and More – Top 10 October Articles

October was a month packed with rumors, thanks to the announcements of the Fujifilm X-T30III and XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3.

But interestingly, it wasn’t the X-T30III news that caught your attention the most.

By far the most-read article was the one about the Fujifilm XF1 — and the lesson Fujifilm had to learn from it. Not even the Fujifilm X-T6 buzz came close.

My (admittedly weird) “sort-of” X-E5 review squeezed into the 10th spot, which is not bad at all. But what you really wanted to read about was my switch to DxO — that one landed in 8th place.

I was also glad to see the “What We Lost When Cameras Got Better” piece reach 7th place. It proves that the FR-community isn’t just here for news and rumors — you also care deeply about the art and soul of photography itself.

Fujifilm Showcases a “Lensless Camera” Prototype

Have you ever heard of the Industrial Romanticism Exhibition?

Well, me neither.

It’s an exhibition where selected companies display their prototype creations — a blend of design, technology, and concept.

And guess what? Fujifilm is one of the seven companies participating this year, alongside Sony, Mitsubishi, Canon and others.

Fujifilm exhibited a prototype of what they call a “camera without a lens” — a tool for reviewing photos taken with a smartphone. According to Nikkei, if you select a category such as human faces or cars, the device will automatically extract and display relevant images.

This essentially sounds like a tool designed to review photos taken with a smartphone.

The designer behind it is Taki Yoshimura, who joined Fujifilm in 2024 and is currently responsible for product design in the imaging division, including cameras, lenses, and projectors.

*NOTE: the Nikkei article calls it a “prototype”, so we use the same term that Nikkei used. Although I doubt that it will ever become a real product.
