Fujifilm has issues software updates for the Fujifilm X Raw Studio and Fujifilm X Acquire.
The update adds support for Fujifilm X-H2S.
Download links and details down below.
We know that the Fujifilm X-H2S has now awesome animal and subject tracking (as well as a terrific eye AF).
But Gökçe Coşkun went a bit beyond testing the official subjects the Fujifilm X-H2S can recognize.
In fact, used it to track frogs, dragon-flies, butterflies and he noticed that it actually works very well when set in the “bird detection” mode.
So in case you photograph animal that are not in the official Fujifilm list, try with bird tracking first. You might get lucky.
You can scroll through the video below to see it in action.
The Iridient X-Transformer 2.5 update has been released with support for the Fujifilm X-H2S.
This update adds support for translating some of the newer Fujifilm film styles (Nostalgic Neg, Classic Neg, Bleach Bypass, Sepia) to Lightroom camera profiles, now uses the latest DNG v1.6 SDK and other
improvements.

Here is a little roundup to catch up with the latest first look reviewers about Fuji’s newest gear trinity.
It includes a Nikon Z9 shooter going hands on with the Fujifilm X-H2S and explaining us why 40fps do matter. It’s the first video in the “video section” down below, and it is also summarized for you in case you don’t have time to watch it right now.
And of course we got also the XF18-120mmF4 and XF150-600mF5.6-8 covered.
So, I guess you have now something to read and watch… I’ll jump in the Mediterranean water while you get through this all ;).
Overshadowed by the Fujifilm X-H2S…
smashed by the Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8…
obscured by the latest Fujinon X mount roadmap…
the Fujinon XF18-120mmF4 entered the Fuji world with little fanfare.
But here on FujiRumors we treat all lenses with the same dignity, so we will start the roundup with this lens. More precisely, the with the coverage of Taylor Jackson, who says:
As we know since the Fujifilm X Summit, Fujifilm introduces the 5th generation cameras with two sensors:
The first model to come was the “HS” version, hence the Fujifilm X-H2S.
In order to mark this specific model, Fujifilm printed the letter “S” on the front of the camera.
All this considered, there was a wide-spread belief out there that the “HR” model would therefore have an “R” printed in front of the camera.
However, as we can see from the first leaked image of the Fujifilm X-H2, there is nothing at all on the front. Where the X-H2S has the “S”, the X-H2 will have nothing.
But hey, don’t blame me guys!
I already told you that leaked images of the Fujifilm X-H2 will be the most boring ever as it will use exactly the same body of the Fujifilm X-H2S.
On a positive note, having the same body means you’ll be able to use all your X-H2S accessories on the X-H2, including the world famous modular optional cooling fan ;).
As a big lover of Montaigne, I live according to one of his maxim which says “suspend your judgement“.
Well, Montaigne’s life tip is definitely a good one also when it comes to pre-production gear.
We have seen DPReview fail to test new Fuji gear properly, others judging autofocus speed while using a camera that had not even the full menu properly written via firmware (some menu items were still marked with a questionmark!) and others commenting on burst performance when using CFepxress cards that are not properly working with the Fujifilm X-H2S.
So you see: lots of judgements and conclusions have been done in a time where there should be none!
And to underline that, I will give you this information I have just received by a new source (which I am very greatful for contacting me, and if I share it with you despite being a new source it means I have solid reasons to trust it): on June 15, Fujifilm released a firmware update for the Fujifilm X-H2S which introduced “incredible improvements“.
For us this means that whatever we have seen and heard about the Fujifilm X-H2S so far, we should take it with a grain of salt.
The real performance will only be unlocked once the final firmware is out, which should happen soon. And who knows, maybe the June 15 firmware was already the final thing, with all bugs ironed out and the final stills and video autofocus algorithm on it.
Production firmware, that’s what we want, that’s what we wait for. And that’s what we will get very soon and FujiRumors will cover it for you.

Pre-Orders
In the few hours the Fujifilm X-H2S was up for pre-order at AmazonUS, it jumped on the top position of the new mirroless camera releases and was 8th in the overall digital camera ranking. So definitely pre-orders were strong.
But for reasons I do not know, Amazon stopped taking pre-orders just hours after the Fujifilm X-H2S launch.
Well, if you are used to buy your gear at Amazon, then I am glad to report that the Fujifilm X-H2S pre-orders are open again at AmazonUS.
We recently shared the official Fujifilm recommended CFexpress Type B card list here.
We saw that not all CFexpress TypeB card are made equal and that only these 4 card models can do it all and can do it best (among the ones tested by Fujifilm).
Other cards work well too, but maybe don’t give you as long bursts as others, or can’t record ProRes and so forth (full details here).
For your convenience, here are the cards recommended
In the comments to that article many were surprised that the AngelBird CFexpress Type B cards were not included in the list.
In order to try to get clarification, I fired off a few emails to sources asking if Fujifilm simply did not test those cards on the Fujifilm X-H2S or maybe if they did test them, and saw they performed so bad that they excluded it from the recommended CFexpress Card list.
Well, today a source wrote me back and told me that the Fujifilm did test them, and they did not perform well, so they did not include them in the list.
More precisely, the source mentioned the following card models as not working properly:
So these are the AngelBird card models you should definitely avoid to use on your Fujifilm X-H2S.
I am aware about the brand new AngelBird MKII CFexpress Type B cards. I don’t have info on those ones, but I think we can be cautiously optimistic that they will work fine. However, I still don’t recommend to buy any CFexpress Card except for the ones officially recommended by Fujifilm.
Once Fujifilm updates its recommended CFexpress card list, I will inform you.
For now, you are best off with these four cards:
