fujifilm-firmware

Fujifilm just released several firmware updates

  • X-Pro2: The long-awaited X-Pro2 Firmware 2.00 is out. It brings overall 20 improvements (including a new AF-algorithm for faster and more accurate AF). And actually there are more than 20 improvements, but Fujifilm didn’t mention them… however, you’ll probably know more about the “secret improvements” on FujiRumors ;)
  • Lenses: Many Fujinon lenses got a Firmware udpate too (14mm / 16mm / 18mm / 23mmF1.4 / 27mm / 35mmF1.4 / 60mm / 10-24mm / 16-55mm / 18-55mm / 18-135mm / XC16-50mmII). As rumored, less chromatic aberration for the XF16-55mmF2.8. Check out the full lens update list here.
  • X-Pro1: And quite amazing… after all these years, even the Fujifilm X-Pro1 gets a nice little new Firmware.

See the all available firmware updates and download them at the Fuji support page here.

… and just a curiosity… any other European awake now at 3:00 AM, or it’s just me? ;)

More Firmware Details :: FW Update for X-Pro2, X-Pro1 and Lenses (XF16-55 Less Chromatic Aberration)… Coming Very Soon!

[wysija_form id=”1″]

IT’S KAIZEN TIME

A trusted source just contacted me, and told me that not only the X-Pro2, but also the X-Pro1 and many Fujinon lenses will get a Firmware update soon. Here is what the source told us:

X-Pro2 Firmware

As already leaked here, the X-Pro2 FW 2.00 will bring a new and improved autofocus algorithm (faster and more accurate AF, more AF-points and AF tracking improvements), support for EF-X500 flash, Auto Power feature changes, and Corrected AF frame function improvement.

But the same leaked press release, said that the improvements will actually be 20. So what else will come? Well, Fuji will improve Eye Detection, additional flash settings can be located on the Q menu. Regarding the tracking, you will be able to use the electronic shutter in AF-C. There will improvements in the OVF and some bugs will be fixed, too.

It sounds overall like a huge Firmware update that will bring some big and many small improvements… well done, Fuji… you’ll make lots of X-Pro2 owners very happy soon :)

X-Pro1 Firmware

Just like the X-Pro2, also the X-Pro1 will get the Corrected AF frame function improvement. I haven’t heard of other improvements.

Fujinon Lenses Firmware

With the new Firmware, the Chromatic Aberration on the XF16-55mmF2.8 will be better controlled. Many Fujinon lenses will also get better parallax correction.

FINAL NOTE

It’s rare, but it can happen (and it already happened) that a new firmware can contain minor bugs. In the past Fujifilm usually was very fast to fix them. But I’d recommend not to update, if you need the X-Pro2 for an important job/event. Use the current firmware and wait a few days after the firmware release. Fujifilm will be monitoring the situation after the FW release very closely, also by reading the feedback from X-shooters here on Fujirumors.

It might also a good thing to read again Rico’s article “Tips for updating your Firmware

Fujifilm Will Release a Dark Grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 – Trusted Source

dark-grey-x-pro2

Graphite X-Pro2 Mock-up by FR-reader Everaldo

Dark Grey X-Pro2

According to a trusted source, Fujifilm has a dark grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 in the pipeline. In the Fuji world everything can change quickly, but for now the release is set to 2017.

I’m not sure for now, if it will have the same color of the graphite X-T1 or be even darker. For sure it won’t the the bright silver we know from the X-E2 or X-T10.

Just like the X100 black limited edition and the graphite X-T1, also the dark grey Fujifilm X-Pro2 should be more expensive than the regular black one.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 Firmware Coming October 6… but…

 photo KAIZEN_zps1fdb780f.png

Fujifilm has announced it back in July: the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will get the same, improved, AF-algorithm of the Fujifilm X-T2 in October (but not the AF-C custom settings).

When will the Firmware be released? According to a trusted source, it should be October 6.

But…

… keep in mind, that Firmware updates can be delayed anytime. It happened several times in the past, that Fujifilm couldn’t keep the promised deadline, because in the last second the had to sort out a bug. They even wrote press-releases to apologize that the promised Firmware update will be delayed. That’s why they stopped announcing precise dates for Firmware releases.

But if everything goes like planned, then you should prepare a formatted SD-Card for October 6.

enjoy your day,

Handheld Impressions from Photokina 2016 :: The Biggest Fail of the Fujifilm X-Pro2 :: RAW or JPEG? – Palle Schultz

I discovered and started following Palle Schultz’ work (and youtube channel) 4 months ago, after I saw him wearing one of my fair trade T-shirts at the Fujifilm Nordic “Behind the frame” Series… btw, we raised $3,500 for Free Education for kids in Cambodia.. ;).

Back to Palle Schultz: as an official Fuji X Photographer, he had access to the behind the scenes of the Fuji booth (and to the GFX), and he decided to document his stay at Photokina 2016 in his original video “Handheld Photokina 2016 Impressions” (filmed with X-T2). It’s a good way to close the 1 week Photokina marathon… no more interviews, no more talks… just video, music and editing by Palle himself.

I’ll share two more videos from his youtube channel below, “The biggest fail of the Fujifilm X-Pro2” and “Should you shoot RAW or JPG, with Fujifilm cameras?”

First, disclaimers. Lensmate sent me their XPro2 Folding Thumbrest along with a couple of their soft releases, free of charge, because I asked nicely and offered to give them my fair and impartial review of the product.

Since they sent me two soft releases, that must mean they want me to give away one to the readers, right? Read through the review, then be sure to check out the details at the bottom.

With those out of the way, let’s take a closer look at the Thumbrest.
