Fujifilm Mysteriously Removes GF32-64mmF4 Firmware From Its Website

Share

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.
