Fujifilm announce firmware updates for X-A5 coming soon

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) will release free firmware updates for the FUJIFILM X-A5 (“X-A5”) X Series digital camera. Due for release in June, the updates are based on feedback we have received by FUJIFILM X Series users wanting improved usability.

Firmware Version:
FUJIFILM X-A5 (Ver. 1.10) – due in June 2018

1. Introducing a new PDAF algorithm:
   Applying the newly developed PDAF algorithm first featured on the FUJIFILM X-T100 which was announced today. The improvement in autofocus speed and accuracy ensures that you capture those beautiful photographic moments quicker.
2. Extended movie recording time:
   The optimized movie processing algorithm extends the individual movie recording time up to approximately 30 minutes in any movie quality.
   *Although movie recording will continue without interruption when the file size reaches 4GB, subsequent footage will be recorded to a separate file which must be viewed separately.
3. Other improvement
   Improved HDMI output usability – eliminated the time limitation and modified graphic interface when the main LCD monitor is inverted by 180 degrees.
