Merry Christmas to All FujiRumors Readers!

Dear FujiRumors Friends,

Warm wishes to all of you for a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season. Once again, I want to say thank you for being here, for reading, commenting, sharing, and for making FujiRumors what it is today. This community exists because of your passion for photography and for Fujifilm.

No matter if you’re out shooting with an X-series camera, a GFX, or simply enjoying photography in any form, I hope these days give you time and inspiration to focus on what truly counts: the people we love and the moments we share with them.

I’m incredibly grateful for all of you. Truly ❤️

And if during the holidays you feel like doing something meaningful with a few spare euros or dollars — even just 1, 2, or 5 — you can consider supporting KNGO in Cambodia, an NGO that FujiRumors has proudly supported for many years.

To give you an idea of the impact:

  • 20 dollars can provide one student with school supplies for an entire year

  • 50 dollars cover all expenses for one student for six months

  • 100 dollars fund a full one-year scholarship for one student

Thanks to your generosity, many children have already gained access to free education. If you feel like helping again, your support truly makes a difference.

Happy Holidays to you and your families.

Fujifilm Mysteriously Removes GF32-64mmF4 Firmware From Its Website – UPDATED

UPDATE: Fujifilm put the firmware back online after our article. The issue (probably): Fujifilm seems to have made some re-designs on the website, and maybe they just forgot to upload the GF32-64mm page again.

Fujifilm has so far released two firmware updates for the (currently heavily discounted) Fujinon GF32-64mmF4.

  • ver.1.20 – improved exposure tracking in video and reduced focusing motor noise
  • ver.1.10 –  phase detection support for GFX100

However, for reasons currently unknown, Fujifilm has removed the GF32-64mmF4 firmware from its official website. If you try to access the dedicated firmware page, you’re now greeted with a 404 – Page Not Found error here – cached page here.

At this point, it’s unclear why Fujifilm decided to pull the firmware. Personally, I’m running firmware version 1.20 on my own GF32-64mmF4, and everything works flawlessly. In fact, I really appreciate the faster and quieter autofocus performance it delivers.

That said, firmware doesn’t just disappear from an official support page without a reason. Even if version 1.20 seems perfectly fine in day-to-day use, Fujifilm’s decision to remove it suggests that there may be an underlying issue we’re not aware of yet.

For this reason, I strongly advise fellow GFX shooters not to install firmware version 1.20 if someone happens to share the file privately. Until Fujifilm clarifies the situation or republishes the firmware, it’s better to stay on the safe side.

Fuji Recipe Tagger – How to Store Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipe Names in Your Pictures’ Metadata

If it ever happened to you that you go back to your past images, and can’t remember which Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipe you used for a certain picture, then maybe this could be of interest to you.

We know Fujifilm cameras store all shooting settings (film simulation, WB shift, grain, highlights, shadows, etc.), but they do not store the recipe name itself in the image metadata. Once the shot is taken, the recipe name is essentially lost.

A clever workaround

An open-source tool on GitHub created by Adrian Gadient and called Fuji Recipe Tagger offers a smart solution.

The tool:

  • Reads the EXIF metadata from your Fujifilm JPEGs
  • Compares the settings to a database of known film simulation recipes
  • If it finds a match, it writes the recipe name into the photo metadata as a keyword

The image itself is never altered — only the metadata is updated.

Why this matters

Film simulation recipes are a defining part of the Fujifilm experience, yet they remain anonymous setting combinations inside the camera.

Being able to store the recipe name directly in EXIF would improve photo organization and long-term archives.

Fuji Recipe Tagger shows that this is technically possible today — even without changes on the camera side.

Why Not, Fujifilm?

Fuji Recipe Tagger is not just a useful utility — it’s a clear hint at a feature Fujifilm could (and arguably should) implement natively. So, dear Fujifilm, make it happen!

How-To

Fujifilm Celebrates Classic Chrome With New Videos and Recipes by X Photographers

Fujifilm has started publishing promo videos about some of their film simulations. You can see both videos in this article.

  • Classic Chrome – Relive a Golden Age
  • Provia – Vivid Memories

Also, a couple of Fujifilm X Photographers have also shared their Classic Chrome based film simulation recipes. You can take a look at their videos below, and if you particularly like a specific look, you will find the settings inside those videois.

A few weeks ago Fujifilm has also published their first official Film Simulation recipe called FRGMT BW, and it is baked into the menu system of the new Fujifilm GFX100RF Fragment Edition.
