UPDATE: Fujifilm X-H1 / X-T3 Firmware Fixes Video Exposure Stepping

UPDATE: Fixed also on Fujifilm X-T3, according to more reports

Oh, I remember it all to well.

I was on a 2 weeks holiday with my wife in the South of Italy, when Fujifilm released a new firmware update for my Fujifilm X-T4.

Unhappy of the usual “fix of minor bugs” formula, I sacrificed a few hours of my relaxing holiday, and dedicated myself to find out, what had been fixed. Well, I noticed that Fujifilm secretly and quietly fixed the exposure stepping bug in video, and I immediacy told you about it in this article.

Now also 11 other X series cameras received a firmware update, but since I own “only” the X-T1, X-E3 and X-T4 I can’t really check what has been fixed on all cameras.

But luckily I am just a small part of the big FR community, and fellow FR-reader Unnamed for a reason contacted me, telling me that the exposure stepping seems to be fixed now also on his Fujifilm X-H1.

No more exposure stepping in either Auto ISO or Aperture priority. When setting the aperture to Auto, stepping still occurs in 1/3rd stops (which is also still the case with the X-T4).

On my personal X-E3, exposure stepping seems to be still present after the firmware update.

In addition to that, Unnamed for a reason says:

  • The wireless communication is much stronger and the camera can be paired at longer distances – Worked flawlessly standing 1-1.5 meters (3.2-4.9 feet) away from the camera.
  • There are new items in the flash menu. “MASTER SETTING” “CH SETTING”. I am certain these are meant to work in conjunction with the new Nissin rebranded Fujifilm EF-W1 commander unit and Fujifilm EF-60 flash. I attached a Godox XPRO-F and a TT685F unit to the camera, to see if they are compatible with the new functions, but as of now, these slots remain greyed out.

Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

2019 Mirrorless Camera Market: FUJIFILM is Solid Third with 500k Shipments Behind Sony (1.65 million) and Canon (940k)

BCN report - APS-C vs Full Frame - via mirrorlessrumors (link below)
BCN report – APS-C vs Full Frame – via mirrorlessrumors (link below)

You might remember, how Techno System Research (a major marketing research company located in Japan) shared data regarding the 2018 global mirrorless camera market share. We saw that Fujifilm was on an impressive 3rd position, very close to Canon. Check it out here.

We also reported the Techno System Research data for 2019 in this article, where we saw that in terms of overall interchangeable lens camera sales, Fujifilm was on the 4th position.

Now we have a more detail report, that splits the overall and the mirrorless interchangeable camera shipment data.

We can see that Sony is the king of mirrorless, with 1.65 million cameras shipped.

According to what have been told to me, the majority of those Sony sales belong to the APS-C Sony A6000 series. And this seems to be confirmed by BCN data shared at mirrorlessrumors here.

Message to Source: Rumor Received… and Questions?

To Readers: A few hours ago I received a message from an anonymous source, who uses a nickname. It came to me via rumor box, so I have no idea, who it is and how to contact it. My only way to contact the source is via FujiRumors. I hope you don’t mind, but making a public post is the only way to reach out to the source.

TO THE SOURCE:

First off thanks for using the nickname. It makes my rumor-life already much easier, as I know you have been accurate in the past and hence I know what you tell me is correct.

For me, the fact that you use a nickname, is already extremely helpful.

Regarding the rumor you shared, all I can say via the FR-blog for now is that I am following hints that point towards that direction already, and your confirmation definitely helps me to make me feel confident I am following the right path.

I’d love to ask you a few questions about it, but I can’t do it publicly via FujiRumors.

If you want to have a more direct and confidential talk, here is what you could eventually do:

  • contact me via private message on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
  • contact me via email (you can use a fake email if you want, but after almost 10 years of rumor-blogging, I can guarantee you that you’ll remain 100% anonymous to the rest of the world also if you’d decide to use your regular email)

If you decide not to contact me via personal message, absolutely no problem. I am happy for the help I can get in any form you decide to give it to me.

Thanks again, and have a great weekend,

The Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 has reached stores all over the world, so probably Fujifilm will be able to start shipping within September 25, despite the unexpected high demand. Remains to see how large the first batch will be. I have the feeling not enough to meet initial demand.

Fujifilm is also preparing your camera, and has just released XF50mmF1.0 support firmware updates for a total of 11 X series cameras.

Hence, for us it’s time to publish a little Fujinon XF50mmf/1.0 roundup.
