The big Fuji X-series firmware updates are now ready to be downloaded at the Fujifilm Support Page here.

The biggest update is definitely the one for the Fujfilm X-T1… X-T1 owners can bascially download, for free, a complete new camera. X-E2 owners will get Classic Chrome, Interval timer shooting, WiFi remote control and a new (and very useful) AF+MF function. The latter update is available also for X-E1 and X-PRO1.

And now, dear X-shooters, download the new firmware and get acquainted quickly with the new features of your camera… X-mas is near, and you should be ready to take advantage of the new potential of your X-series camera.

And to Fujifilm just this: thank you. It’s an amazing X-mas present :)

– FUJIFILM X-T1 : Version 3.00
– FUJIFILM X-E2 : Version 3.00
– FUJIFILM X-Pro1 : Version 3.40
– FUJIFILM X-E1 : Version 2.40

To learn more about the new features coming with this big firmware update, read Rico’s trilogy, Using AF+MF,  Using Camera Remote and X-T1 Firmware Version 3.00.

NOTE: If you have problems to see the new firmware versions, then you probably have to clean the cache! The easiest way is described in Rico’s X-pert corner post “Tips for Updating your Firmware”: “just delete your browser cache or force your browser to reload and refresh the page by, for example, holding the Alt or Option key while clicking on Reload.”

This Thursday (18 DEC 2014), Fuji is releasing new firmware for the X-Pro1, X-E1, X-E2 and X-T1. This is the second of three articles explaining the changes and enhancements brought to you by these updates. In this edition, I am going to cover the main feature of firmware 3.00 for the X-E2: Camera Remote control via wifi. This article also applies to users of the X-T1, X30 and X100T, as these cameras offer pretty much the same remote control functionality.

What is Camera Remote?

Camera Remote allows you to control the camera from a smartphone or tablet running Android or iOS and Fuji’s Cam Remote app. The connection is based on the camera’s and smartphone’s wifi function.

How to use Camera Remote

In order to use Camera Remote, you have to download and install the free Cam Remote app on your smartphone or tablet. You can find download links and additional information here. Of course, your X-E2 needs to run firmware 3.00 or newer.

Make sure that you use the Cam Remote app and not the older Camera App.

Here’s how Camera Remote works with iOS devices (and it shouldn’t be much different for Android users):

This Thursday (18 DEC 2014), Fuji is releasing new firmware for the X-Pro1, X-E1, X-E2 and X-T1. This is the first of three articles explaining the changes and enhancements brought to you by these updates. Let’s begin with the single new feature that affects all four X camera models: AF+MF.

What is AF+MF?

AF+MF allows you to autofocus in AF mode, then adjust the focus manually by turning the focus ring while holding the shutter button half-depressed.

In order to access this feature, the camera needs to be updated with the latest firmware (at least version 3.40 for the X-Pro1, 2.40 for the X-E1, 3.00 for the X-E2 and 3.00 for the X-T1). Then select SHOOTING MENU > AF+MF > ON to enable the new feature.

How to apply AF+MF

In order to use AF+MF, your X-T1 or X-E2 have to be in AF-S autofocus mode. Users of X-E1 and X-Pro1 cameras may also select AF-C using the focus mode selector switch that is located at the front of the camera.

Here’s how AF+MF works, step by step:

“I absolutely love what IR does to all my files and particularly my Fuji X images which have frustrated me over the years. My lenses look sharper, my sensors look better and over the past day I’ve processed hundreds of images using IR and have been consistently impressed with what I can achieve.”
