Amazon Prime Kicks Off in Europe… with a Tempting Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan Deal and Much More

 

Amazon Prime has started in Europe.

Of course there are a sheer endless amount of great deals.

But here we talk photography and Fujifilm, so I will focus only what I consider relevant and good deals for the photography and Fujifilm community.

Especially tempting (for me) is the huge rebate on the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan. You know I plan on leaving Capture One and this deal is tempting me to switch back to Adobe.

Fujifilm X-T50 Bug Fix Firmware Released

Now that was fast!

Last time there was a bug, Fujifilm needed two months to issue a fix. This time they needed 2 days. Now that’s what I call an improvement ;).

Anyway, the Fujifilm X-T50 bug we reported here has now been fixed. Happy download!

Firmware Details

Fujifilm X-T50 ver. 1.02 – download here
The firmware update Ver.1.02 from Ver.1.01 incorporates the following issues:

  1. The firmware bug is fixed that the error message, “THIS FIRMWARE IS NOT FOR THIS MODEL TURN OFF THE CAMERA” is displayed on the LCD during the firmware update from Ver.1.00 to Ver.1.01 for specific serial numbers and the firmware update cannot be performed.

    Note-1: Refer to the “Notice and apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users” for the details.
    Note-2: Although there are no differences of features and performance of the camera itself between Ver.1.01 and Ver.1.02, all X-T50 users can update this firmware (ver.1.02) even who had already completed the update to Ver.1.01.

Notice and Apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users: Serial Number of X-T50’s Affected by Firmware Bug and Fix Coming Soon

Just 2 days ago, Fujifilm released a bunch of new firmware updates.

Well, there firmware is buggy for some Fujifilm X-T50 cameras. Fujifilm promises a fix coming soon.

This has to be one of the most curious bugs I have ever seen, as it affects only silver colored Fujifilm X-T50’s. And only certain serial numbers are affected. You can read the details down below.

If you already updated and had no issues, then your firmware is perfectly fine.
