Fujifilm X-T20 Firmware Postponed: “Update More Complicated Than Expected” says Fujifilm Netherlands

Share

As you know, Fujifilm announced that in late November, the Fujifilm X-T20 will get a firmware update, that will allow you to use the touch screen in EVF mode. In fact, the official Fuji news here still says it will be available in late November.

However, that might change soon.

FR-reader Özgür contacted Fujirumors (thanks), and told us that Fujifilm Netherlands informed him via facebook here the X-T20 firmware update has been postponed. They say (translated by a Dutch speaking FR-reader)

“The update appears to be more complicated that initially anticipated and has been temporarily delayed, however, it is sure that it will come. It is important, of course, that this update works well without problems or errors.”

FujiRumors already reported about some technical difficulties with the X-T20 firmware update a few weeks ago. Now, the X-T20 will continue to be covered with Kaizen love for as much as possible, but Fujifilm has to invest a considerable amount of time and money into proper coding.

I have asked Fujifilm Netherlands in the comments on facebook, if also the X-T2 firmware will be delayed, and they answered here:

“For as far as we know the date for the X-T2 FW update will remain the same“

And in the meantime, today 11 Fujifilm cameras got a firmware update. It only adds support for the upcoming XF80mm macro, but we explain here, why should update your camera anyway, even if you don’t plan to buy the XF80.

And again, here are all the download links for the 11 Fuji cameras
