Fujifilm Loves Our Polls? Then here are 2 more! :: X-Pro2 4K via Firmware update + ISO dial “T-camouflage solution”
It’s no secret: Fujifilm loves our Polls and reads our comments.
This has been made possible thanks to you guys and your participation, which made this blog the by far biggest source of “online feedback” for Fujifilm.
X-series related Polls gather several thousands of votes within a few days (and hundreds of comments)… and if you keep it up, then we can be sure that they will continue to read us and maybe once again even display our Poll-Results at official press events.
Now, as you know, FujiRumors is a one man show that I run in my spare time. That’s why I rely on your help and support. So keep up sharing rumors and links to news, reviews, curiosities, deals and whatever you think should be featured on FR.
And sometimes FR-readers also suggest Polls in the comments and/or via email, which I’m happy to share whenever I can. And today, upon readers request, I’m going to share two more Polls:
Poll #1 – 4K via Firmware update: As you know, Fujifilm Managers said in several interviews, that the X-Pro2 is 4K capable (and the X-T2 will have 4K, as Fujifilm said here), but the problem with Fuji’s new flagship is that it overheats when filming in 4K.
The FujiRumors community asked me for a Poll regarding this, and I’m happy to share it:

Poll #2 – ISO-Dial: In our last Poll here, the result was pretty clear: most X-shooters want an ISO-dial. Many actually seem to get used quickly to the X-Pro2 ISO/Shutter dial, as Marin said here on facebook:
However, there is still a good number of X-shooters, who’d prefer to get rid of the dedicated ISO Dial. Couldn’t Fuji make everybody happy…. maybe with some sort of “T-camouflage solution“? Let me explain it.
On current X-series cameras, when you place the shutter dial to “T”, you can control the shutter speed with the front dial.
The ISO dial of the X-T1 and X-Pro2 have no “T-like” marking. But some FR-readers came up with alternative solutions. My favorite one? If you set the ISO-dial to “H2” (which I can’t remember ever having used, so it’s useless anyway, for me), you can adjust the ISO value with front or rear dial. And what if you’d like to shoot at ISO 25600 and jpeg only (because that’s what H2 means on the X-T1)? Set the ISO dial to H1 (ISO 12800) and select in the menu if you want to shoot at 12800 or 25600.
With this solution, H2 would basically work like the “T” on the shutter dial, and H1 gives you access to both extended ISO settings.
This is just one possible solution. Feel free to drop your ideas in the comment…. and here is the Poll
