Fujifilm X-T2 Kaizen Firmware – The Day After the Big Party – Bug Reports Anyone?

Share

Josh Lewis Youtube – Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00 Major Flaw. Basically when shooting F-log with an external monitor plugged in via HDMI, the X-T2 shows it is recording onto the SD-card, but in fact it is not. Can anyone duplicate the issue or maybe there is some camera setting to change?

Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware – The Day After

Yesterday it was another huge Kaizen firmware day, this time for Fujifilm X-T2 owners, who basically could download a complete new camera for free.

If you haven’t seen it already, then make sure to go back to the original post, which got massive comments.

The upgrade for the Fujifilm X-T2 was so big, that some Fujifilm X-H1 owners were even a bit annoyed by it, since Fujifilm now brought the X-T2 almost on par with the brand new X-H1 (besides IBIS, 200 mbps and other minor things). But overall the feedback was mostly very enthusiastic.

Firmware Bugs Report

However, the FR-community asked me to launch a “bugs report” article… and here it is.

This feedback will be good for Fujifilm, who, as you know, reads us with greatest care, but also for us mere mortal X-shooters, because we can see if firmware 4.00 has introduced some bugs.

Also, maybe some out there, who are not yet familiar with the new features, could consider bugs some things that are actually wrong settings in the camera, and you guys can eventually help those of us, who are setting the camera wrong.

Fujifilm Reads You

As you know, FujiRumors is Fujifilm’s reference website for Fuji X and GFX online customer feedback  (I mean, even Fujifilm’s top manager Toshihisa Iida “loves” FujiRumors, not to talk that Fujifilm also uses our polls in private meetings ;) ).

This is no surprise, since here on FR, for example, we can collect 10,000 poll votes in just 3 days and in 2017 we had a total of 45,261 comments (124 comments a day).

Your massive feedback simply can’t be ignored by Fujifilm.

So first of all thanks to every single one of you, who reads FR, votes the polls and comments.

Feel free to keep it up :)

Fujifilm X-T2 FW 4.00 is Out

If you follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter (and also allowed browser push notifications!!!), you will have received notification about the new firmware 4.00 for Fujifilm X-T2 about half a second after Fujifilm made it officially available for donwload.

You can download the new firmware here.

Does it Make Sense? – Part 2 :)

In case you missed it, make sure to check out our previous post about it and the huge discussion we are having there.

Of course the “it makes no sense” in my previous article is in part a provocation and surely ironic… but it’s also a bit of a reminder, that we should not take for granted what Fujifilm is doing. These updates cost money and upgrading old cameras means current customers are less likely to buy the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.

But of course there is also the other side of the medal.

Fujifilm Kaizen firmware updates create brand loyalty and might even attract customers from other brands, who don’t get nearly as much firmware love as Fujifilm X and GFX shooters.

Fujifilm just released the final and official Fujifilm X-T2 firmware ver. 4.00, and it brings new features such as focus bracketing, internal F-log, 120 fps slow motion and more, as well as improvements such as faster autofocus in low light.

Definitely one of Fujifilm’s notorious and much-loved Kaizen updates. So don’t wait any further and download your new X-T2 camera… for free.

No Eterna? Shoot F-Log and then use the Eterna LUT file, which is available for free.

This makes No Sense, FUJI!!!!

Of course it makes no sense for Fujifilm to update the “old” X-T2 and bring it almost to the level of the brand new Fujifilm X-H1, since X-T2 owners will now have fewer reasons to upgrade to the X-H1.

Also, it makes no sense to massively improve a camera, the X-T2, that will be replaced very soon by the Fujifilm X-T3, which we have shared already many specs here on FR and will be announced shortly before photokina in September 2018.

Firmware updates are economically speaking a loss business for Fujifilm. They cost lots of money and extend life span of old products, which consequentially means people will keep their old gear longer and do not upgrade to the “latest and greatest“.

It happened to me, with the Fujifilm X-T1, that Fujifilm kept up improving so many times, that I simply sitcked with it, despite the X-T2, X-Pro2, X100F, X-T20 and all the other “better” cameras that followed… at least until the Fujifilm X-E3 came along… a temptation too big for me to resist.

So kudos to Fujifilm for consistently making the wrong thing and delivering us customers firmware updates. Many other companies simply force people to buy the newest camera to get the latest features (and make more money doing so).

In a world, where Apple released firmware updates that slowed down terribly my iPhone SE in order to force me to buy their latest model, it’s good to know that there is a company out there, Fujifilm, that actually thinks at customer support… and happiness… by improving their products over the years via free firmware updates.
