Gimbal / Drone support (*)
This firmware adds the following function to complement the current support for still image shooting via USB communications:
・Starting and ending video recording
・Adjusting exposure settings (exposure mode, shutter speed, aperture, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation) for video recording
・Making manual focus adjustments for video recording
*This is the function via USB communication. About supported gimbals and drones, refer to support information not only on our website but also manufacturers’ websites.
Enhanced autofocus.
*Improving the tracking performance of the eye AF frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus on the eyes.
*Improving face-detection performance when there are faces of different sizes within the same frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus.
*Improving autofocus capability on a foreground subject even when there is a mixture of foreground and background subjects within a AF frame, causing the foreground subject to go out of focus, e.g. when shooting flowers against a busy background.
Capability to save up to 9,999 pictures in each folder.
Until now, the number of pictures that can be saved in a folder on an SD card was limited to 999. This update will raise the limit by ten times to 9,999 pictures.
Hollyland contacted me, telling me about a product they offer since late 2019 and that might be of interest also for Fujifilm shooters, the Hollyland Mars 400S.
Here on FujiRumors we have shared quite a few articles about people, sharing their customized Fujifilm film simulation profiles.
From Peter Evans, who was inspired by the masters of the past and present, and fine tuned his film simulations to emulate the look of their images (we reported here), to Ritchie Roesch, who tried to recreate the look of old film stock by adjusting the settings of various film simulations (we reported here).
Then there are the receipts shared by renown photographers, for example Kevin Mullins (we reported here).
And of course there are lots of other Fujifilm X shooters, who played around with the film simulation, trying to achieve a particular look.
In fact, there are so many, that we might have lost a bit the overview.
But luckily over at our fantastic Fujifilm X-Pro group, fellow X shooter David collected 80 film simulation receipts and shared them all in a very practical PDF.
It is an amazing and surely very time consuming effort, that I would like to share with everybody, and not only with the members of the closed X-Pro group. So here is the link to David’s public facebook post and for the direct link to Google Docs click here.
David is still working on the document, so check back regularly for the latest updates.
