Iridient Developer 3.0.8 update with X-Pro2, X-E2S and X70 support

Share

iri2

The Iridient Developer 3.0.8 update was released today!

This update support for the X-Pro2 (currently uncompressed format only), X-E2S and X70 models. This release also fixes a couple Fujifilm specific bugs including an incorrect baseline exposure for intermediate (non whole stop) ISO settings above 3200 and a bug with the EXIF 35mm focal length equivalent value in exported images for some of the fixed lens models (X100S, X100T, X100 and probably a few other compacts). Plus with this update Brian has refined the default camera profile for all X-Trans (and some of the X Bayer sensors too). Of course all prior Fujfilm preset packs for the various camera film styles (Astia, Provia, Velvia, …) are still applicable and seem to work reasonably well with the new sensor in the X-Pro2 as well. Brian will likely be refining the film presets some in the future specifically for the X-Pro2 and adding the new style(s) added with the X-Pro2 as well.

Iridient Developer 3.0.8 can now be downloaded here:

X-E2 vs. X-E2S: Ending the Confusion

By upgrading your Fujifilm X-E2 with firmware 4, you are giving up the camera that you knew: Your X-E2 will turn into an X-T10—only with a rangefinder design. However, on the inside, both the X-E2v4 and the new X-E2S offer (almost) the same features, the same menu options and the same graphical user interface as the X-T10.

Rico_BannerThis is important. To begin with, it means that your old X-E2 user manual has become pretty much obsolete. That’s why Fujifilm has created an entirely new manual along with firmware 4. You can download it here as a PDF file. It also means that my eBook on the X-E2 doesn’t apply to cameras running firmware 4 or the new X-E2S. It’s still great if you don’t upgrade your X-E2, but users who have made the jump are now much better off with my book on the X-T10.

I am not kidding! As long as you can see beyond the different form factors (rangefinder style vs. SLR style), my X-T10 book is now almost perfectly applicable. It really is, because Fuji did a terrific job transforming the X-E2 into an X-T10 with camouflage. This means that my X-E2 eBook won’t be updated. It doesn’t have to, because the update is already here.

Same Same, But Different

Okay, so your X-E2 is now a rangefinder-style version of the X-T10. Great! But what exactly are the differences between an X-E2 running firmware 4 and the new X-E2S? There seems to be some confusion, so let’s straighten it out.

X-E2 vs. X-E2S

On the outside, the differences are minimal. The X-E2S offers an “improved” hand grip, but to be honest, I can’t feel much of a difference. However, pressing the four selector buttons on the back of the X-E2S does feel better, so this may be another small improvement over the classic X-E2. With firmware 4, you can forget the MACRO and AF descriptions on two of the X-E2’s selector buttons, as all four selector keys now serve as Fn buttons, just like in the X-E2S. This gives both cameras a total of 7 Fn buttons!

UPDATE (Nr.2) – Fujifilm says X-Pro2 shipping starts March 3 in Japan (so March 10 in EU/North America could be right)

A FR-reader just told me that he got an email from Fujifilm confirming that his X-Pro2 will be ready for pickup on March 3rd in Tokyo! The reader also send me the screenshots of Fujifilm’s email, which I will share as soon as (if) I get the permission of the FR-reader (thanks for sharing :-) )

UPDATE: See bottom of this post for the Fujifilm email

UDPATE 2: It’s now officially also on Fuji’s Japanese website here.

So I guess BHphoto is spot on, when they say they will start shipping it on March 10.
