Iridient Developer 3.3.10 has now been released with Fujifilm X100V and X-T200 support as well as several new models from other manufacturers. This is a new RAW camera support update only, no other changes.
J. said the tilt screen will be like the one of the Panasonic S1H.
But I noticed a tendecy on the web, to attribute to FR also the S1H alike rumor.
So I just want to clarify, that all FujiRumors sources told us only about a “selfie flippy screen”, but not which kind of selfie screen it will be. Will it be like on the Fujifilm X-T200, or like on Fujifilm X-T100, or like on the Panasonic S1H? At this point, we do not know. We just know vloggers will be happy about it :).
I thought I need to set this right, as I don’t want any reader to be mislead here.
For us, this post is also a welcome opportunity to ask you, which selfie flippy screen do you prefer, X-T200, X-T100 or Panasonic S1H? Vote down below.
Down below are three videos, they all start at the point, where you see the screen in action.
X-T100 screen: tiltable up and down still centered to camera body. You can flip it out in selfie mode
X-T200 screen: classic fully articulating screen. If you want to tilt up or down, you must move it out all the way on the side of the camera. No longer centered. But you can flip it inwards, to protect the screen
S1H screen: You can tilt it down still centered to the camera. And fully articulates when moved out on the side of the camera. You can flip it inwards towards camera body, for protection. It has a more bulky design, but allows to move the screen more away from the camera, potentially keeping it more far away from the cables you might have attached on the side of the camera body
The Nr. 4 is unlucky in Asia. That’s why in Asian elevators you often don’t see a 4th floor, and why Fujifilm skipped the X-A4 and passed from X-A3 directly to X-A5. This is the case also of the Fujifilm S series, which skipped from Fujifilm S3 Pro directly to Fujfiilm S5 Pro.
Now we have a first autofocus comparison between the Fujifilm X-T3 old vs new firmware.
The video is French by les-guides-fujifilm.com. Left side camera old firmware, right camera new firmware.
The video below starts at min. 8.06, which is where you can see both cameras tested side by side.
If somebody speaks French (sadly it’s not one of the 4 languages I speak), it would be great if you could quickly summarize in the comments what he thinks about the new firmware.
UPDATE: here is the translation from one of our readers (thanks)
face detection is generally better as it works with smaller (further away) faces, and is more reliable
multiple faces are also better handled than before
in difficult circumstance (such as somebody wearing glasses, face seen from the side, …) there seems to be no improvement.
with 56 XF strange results: new firmware seems to degrade the autofocus performance
with 16-80 XF there’s a general improvement
tracking remains a bit laggy, no real improvement vs previous version
