Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00

As you know, Fujifilm said they will release a firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T2, GFX, X-Pro2 and X-H1 in May.

Now Fujifilm China has made the firmware file ver. 4.00 available for download here.

We DO NOT RECOMMEND to upgrade your X-T2 until it is available at Fujifilm’s global site here, which currently still shows firmware ver. 3.00.

It looks like somebody at Fujifilm China has pushed the “publish” button too early.

Do NOT upgrade because:

• Fujifilm could find a last second bug before the official release, and hence fix the bug before the official launch
• If you download and install the Chinese X-T2 ver. 4.00 now, and if Fujifilm really finds a last second bug and delays firmware 4.00, once the official ver. 4.00 will be out, your camera could have problems to upgrade to the “official” ver. 4.00, since there could be a conflict and your X-T2 will say that firmware 4.00 is already installed.
• Wait… please wait… it can’t be long anymore… must be a matter of a few days

I do share the information here on FujiRumors about the Chinese firmware leak, because it includes the full list of features the X-T2 will get with firmware ver. 4.00.

This morning started just as usual.

I woke up at 5:30 AM to prepare my coffee in the fantastic Bialetti Brikka Moka recommended to me by a FR-reader (thanks a ton, a game changer :) ).

Usually I get about 10 emails over night, and I try to reply to all of them as quickly as possible within 6:30 AM, but this morning an email of a source made me almost spill my precious coffee.

I received the information about an internal Fujifilm document that predicts the following scenario:

Over 1 year ago, on March 17, 2017 here, we already leaked the first images of the Instax Sq Square camera. We told you later on that it will come in 2018, and finally it is here. Looks exactly like the leaked image, just Fujifilm called it “Instax SQ6”

Full details and images of the new Instax Square SQ6 cameras just got leaked now.

The Fujfilm Instax SQ6 will take the Instax Square Film that you can find at AmazonUS, BHphoto and Adorama.

The SQ6 is basically the analog only version of the hybrid Instax Square SQ10.

For a short moment the cameras got listed on BeachCamera (google cache).

Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8

According to a new source, the Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR will have a new and improved flare control.

I guess it will probably use the same new “Anti-Reflection Coating” that we will find in the XF 200mm F2, and that will become standard in most of future Fujinon XF lenses.

We could see some mock-ups of the XF8-16 already in the past. I share them for you again here:

• First Images of the Fujinon XF 8-16mmF2.8, XF 200mmF2 and Fujinon GF 250mm F4
• Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 (mounted on X-T2) and Fujinon GF 250mm F4 Hands On Photos
• Fujinon XF 8-16mmF2.8 Vs. XF 16mmF1.4 Size Comparison + GF 250mm Hands On Photos

The Fujinon XF 8-16 is the most wanted Fujinon lens on FR-readers’ “To Do” list. And all we know officially from Fujifilm, is that it will be out this year.
