Fujifilm has not officially announced support for the JPEG XL file format in future cameras as of now. However, there are some relevant developments and considerations regarding image file formats for Fujifilm cameras:

## Potential Benefits of JPEG XL

While Fujifilm hasn’t specifically commented on JPEG XL, this format could offer some advantages:

– Better compression efficiency compared to standard JPEG
– Support for higher bit depths and wider color gamuts
– Backwards compatibility with existing JPEG files

## Industry Trends

Some developments in the broader industry that may influence Fujifilm’s decisions:

– Apple has implemented JPEG XL support in the iPhone 16 camera system[3].
– Adobe has added JPEG XL as a compression option for DNG files[3].
– There is growing support for JPEG XL in various software and platforms.

## Considerations for Fujifilm

When evaluating new file formats like JPEG XL, Fujifilm likely considers factors such as:

– Compatibility with existing workflows and software
– Performance impact on camera processing and buffer speeds
– Storage efficiency and file sizes
– Image quality and color reproduction capabilities
– User demand and industry adoption rates

While JPEG XL offers some compelling benefits, Fujifilm may be cautious about adopting new formats until they gain more widespread support across the photography ecosystem.

## Potential Future Directions

Given Fujifilm’s history of innovation, it’s possible they may explore JPEG XL or other advanced file formats in future camera releases. However, any such changes would likely be carefully evaluated to ensure they provide tangible benefits to photographers while maintaining compatibility with existing workflows.

That’s been a while I’m trying to contact fujifilm, asking them to add the Gyrodata in the video (to work with Gyroflow). (got X-T3 :p)

It’s looking they don’t give a … To normal basic users which are not youtuber.

Maybe you have a contact and can raise this info somewhere ? Basically it’s there DIS but in an external software and under steroid

I have a suggestion for a change in the firmware of Fujifilm fifth generation cameras and it is not related to autofocus.
I would be glad if you could convey this request on your website and to your contacts at Fujifilm, as I am sure that this change would be appreciated not only by me, but by many long-time users of Fujifilm cameras who like to use the latest film recipes.
I want one thing – the ability to choose which things I want to set individually for positions C1-C7 and which I want to set universally for the whole camera. On new cameras, the C positions store separately the AutoISO settings, converter settings (in the case of the X100VI), etc. I have various film recipes mapped to the custom poses, and it personally annoys me that when I switch simulations, I have to think about switching, for example, the AutoISO value again, or the converter settings for the older version of converters for the X100. I’d appreciate the ability to choose somewhere which items I want to have set separately for each custom position and which I want to have globally, and which ones stay changed when I switch custom positions C1-C7, as was the case with older cameras when these items weren’t saved separately for each position.

A request that would help all Fuji astrophotographers.

Siril, the major software for astronomy image processing, is deploying a tool called “SPCC”.
It helps to automate the color calibration of deep space images, a really hard and imprecise job to do manually.

To do this, it needs the Quantum Efficiency graph of any camera.
If you know someone working at Fuji that can give any for the X-trans sensors (5 HR, 5 HS, 4 and 3) it will be really helpful, and an awesome gift for all the Fuji astrophoto community.

I know this is a one-in-a-million shot, but here goes. Do you of ANYONE I could contact at Fujifilm who would seriously take into account a suggestion I’d like to make? I do a lot of “light painting” and Olympus has a wonderful “live comp” mode that lets you see the different camera strokes all being put on top of one another in real time. Really, really amazing and something I would be over the moon if Fuji added that feature maybe on their next firmware update. Know it’s a super long shot but do know of any e-mail address I could use to send the suggestion. Thanks so much. Larry

I have had an idea regarding film simulation recipes for a long while and I noticed for the first time with the X-E5 launch that Fujifilm itself is starting to lean in to the idea of those recipes.

My idea:

If a user wants to share his film recipe to a friend or post it online they have to write all the settings separately. If someone wants to use this recipe they have to manually put in each setting separately. This is a tedious process.

It would be fun and easy if the camera could show (and store) a QR code per recipe, this can then be showed (on the display of the camera) or posted online (via the SD-Card). User could then point there camera to the QR code and it would recognize the recipe and store all the settings in one go.

This would make sharing a recipe super fast and fun, storing them for later use would be easy (just store all the QR codes). This would greatly benefit the Fuji community I think.

Maybe you could give Fujifilm this feedback??

If you love photography / videography, you know that you date the camera but marry the LENS (system). And if you’re into #retro designed and compact cameras, you at least know if not love Fujifilm. Fujifilm has a great lens lineup in their APS-C line X system with creative focal length/aperture lens specs and beautifully designed lenses, esp. their older ones. But there are some lenses I wish they would either come up with or revise as these would be MAJOR improvements:

📸 XF18mmF2 WR

After 12 years, it’s time for a fresh start and I have an AMAZING idea: Make it

– a little bit bigger and heavier (around 160 g)
– weather resistant and
– design it just like your 23mm, 35mm and 50mm F2 lenses

so it beautifully complements the family and can be faster and instantly recognizable as one of THE light and rugged travel companions 😍

There’s no need for a pancake lens here as you already have the XF27mmF2.8 R WR. I understand that you maybe want to at least offer two pancake lenses which complement each other but you can also make only which makes it stand out that much more this way 😉

📷 TILT-SHIFT lenses

Yes, for APS-C. I know you have your GFX lenses for it which makes perfectly sense. I can also imagine that it’s tough to develop a small lens with these capabilities.

But it would fill such an amazing gap in your APS-C line (if you’re not afraid to lose customers from your GFX line) and would lure even more interested photographers to you.

📷 XF14mmF1.4 R (LM) WR

There is not a single FAST wide-angle lens in your portfolio and we’re waiting for years for one! I don’t know the reasoning behind your entrepreneurial decisions but a lens lineup without a fast wide-angle prime is just not complete!

You will win so many landscape, astro and architecture photographers which are still hesitant to jump ship if you fill important gaps like these.

📷 XF10-24mmF2.8 R (LM) WR

This is a bonus many travel shooters will love and which every camera company today should have. It’s the ultimate flexible zoom range for people who shoot landscapes and anything city related in low light conditions and don’t want to change lenses.

If you include internal zoom, all travel vloggers will switch to Fuji 😁

📸 XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR II

I know this lens is relatively new (May 2022) but after you brought out the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II, everybody knows that its “video switch” MUST be implemented in THE video-centric lens 😛

An internal zoom would be nice here, too, of course.

What do you think?

P.S. While writing this post, I had yet another crazy cool idea for a zoom lens which covers a wider range, e.g. 24-85 mm (35mm equivalent):

Design the clicks of the aperture ring in a way that it only clicks at the major focal lengths of 24 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm and 70 mm (35 mm equivalent) 😉
