Kaizen? Sorry Fuji, We Can’t Get Enough :) ! New 30+ Wish List of Future Improvements!
Dear Fujifilm, we love the Kaizen love you give to our cameras. But you know… we can never get enough :)
So here are some more firmware ideas for the future, shared by FR-reader Fujica (high time to share it :))
And you know it… Fujifilm Top Managers Read you!
- Interlock AF Type setting to AF Focus setting
For example if you switch to single shot Focus (S) on the camera to then switch to Single Point focus automatically. If the camera is set to Continuous Focus to then automatically switch to Zone AF. – Of course the user should be able to set his own AF Type preference for each of the Focus settings (S / C). - Live histogram when shutterbutton is being half pressed
- Set maximum number of images in CL / CH
- Cooked RAWs of Film Simulations
- Cooked RAWs for double exposure
- Cooked RAWs for panoramic shots
- Cooked RAWs for Dynamic Range Settings (DR200 / DR400 / AUTO)
- Reala Film Simulation
- Color Chrome Effect
- E-Front Curtain Shutter
- Date & Time to seconds
- More Customisable Q-Menu – More options to choose from (especially RAW options)
- AI Focus Intelligent version of One Shot Focus (S) and Continuous Focus (C) (Choose automatically depending upon the fact if the subject is moving or not).
- Move Pixel Mapping option under the Wrench (This is not an image IQ option but a maintenance tool)
- Quickly Select AF-Custom setting via rear command dial
- New Leveler with Tilt & Pitch (as found in the GFX)
- Star Rating to be compatible with Lightroom
- Eye Sensor while shooting + LCD Menu
- Auto ISO WARNING when below recommended shutter speed (Highly needed)
- RGB Histogram
- Anti Flicker AF option
- Noise reduction to ‘Off’
- Point-AF Follow Focus within Phase Detect area for moving subjects in AF-C. (sort of widea-area tracking, but different and better).
- Focus Tracking with Lock-on: Nikon has added additional options here for erratic or steady subjects allowing me to fine tune my autofocus for every given situation.
- Point-AF extension 1 (normal) – 5 (cross) – 9 points (extended).
- CH mode: 6 + 7 fps
- Create Tone Curve (As Nikon Picture Control Editor)
- Improved ‘Add Noise’ as is calculated with the ACROS film simulation but then available to other Film Simulations. (So with no noise in the highlights and deepest shadows)
- 4k Video Image Capture: I can now take 8mp stills while shooting 4k video or extract them frame by frame after the fact.
- Slow Motion video Recording / playback
- F-Log to SD card
X-Pro2 Specific
- ISO set via rear command dial when ISO is set to L
- 4K video
What else?
Well, I (Patrick) would really like to have a highlight priority metering mode.
And you?
