Dear Fujifilm, we love the Kaizen love you give to our cameras. But you know… we can never get enough :)

So here are some more firmware ideas for the future, shared by FR-reader Fujica (high time to share it :))

And you know it… Fujifilm Top Managers Read you!

1. Interlock AF Type setting to AF Focus setting
   For example if you switch to single shot Focus (S) on the camera to then switch to Single Point focus automatically. If the camera is set to Continuous Focus to then automatically switch to Zone AF. – Of course the user should be able to set his own AF Type preference for each of the Focus settings (S / C).
2. Live histogram when shutterbutton is being half pressed
3. Set maximum number of images in CL / CH
4. Cooked RAWs of Film Simulations
5. Cooked RAWs for double exposure
6. Cooked RAWs for panoramic shots
7. Cooked RAWs for Dynamic Range Settings (DR200 / DR400 / AUTO)
8. Reala Film Simulation
9. Color Chrome Effect
10. E-Front Curtain Shutter
11. Date & Time to seconds
12. More Customisable Q-Menu – More options to choose from (especially RAW options)
13. AI Focus Intelligent version of One Shot Focus (S) and Continuous Focus (C) (Choose automatically depending upon the fact if the subject is moving or not).
14. Move Pixel Mapping option under the Wrench (This is not an image IQ option but a maintenance tool)
15. Quickly Select AF-Custom setting via rear command dial
16. New Leveler with Tilt & Pitch (as found in the GFX)
17. Star Rating to be compatible with Lightroom
18. Eye Sensor while shooting + LCD Menu
19. Auto ISO WARNING when below recommended shutter speed (Highly needed)
20. RGB Histogram
21. Anti Flicker AF option
22. Noise reduction to ‘Off’
23. Point-AF Follow Focus within Phase Detect area for moving subjects in AF-C. (sort of widea-area tracking, but different and better).
24. Focus Tracking with Lock-on: Nikon has added additional options here for erratic or steady subjects allowing me to fine tune my autofocus for every given situation.
25. Point-AF extension 1 (normal) – 5 (cross)  – 9 points (extended).
26. CH mode: 6 + 7 fps
27. Create Tone Curve (As Nikon Picture Control Editor)
28. Improved ‘Add Noise’ as is calculated with the ACROS film simulation but then available to other Film Simulations. (So with no noise in the highlights and deepest shadows)
29. 4k Video Image Capture: I can now take 8mp stills while shooting 4k video or extract them frame by frame after the fact.
30. Slow Motion video Recording / playback
31. F-Log to SD card

X-Pro2 Specific

1. ISO set via rear command dial when ISO is set to L
2. 4K video

What else?

Well, I (Patrick) would really like to have a highlight priority metering mode.

And you?

As you would have read on my last two blogs, I had recently sold off all of my Nikon gear over the last year or so and replaced everything with Fuji equipment. I have extensively used my 18-135 lens and the marvellous little 35mm f2. The 18-55 I never liked (not sharp or very useful wide open at the 18 or 55 end), so that was sold recently on ebay. However, the 55-200 kind of sat there in no-man’s land and never really got used. I did a commercial shoot last year where I had to shoot over 25 models for our local TAFE (Technical and Further Education). The girls were graduating from their Makeup and Beauty Course, and I was asked to photograph the models for their portfolios. Of course the 55-200 was the perfect choice for that occasion. The photos looked great and everybody was very pleased with the results.

After that – I kind of popped the lens back into the camera cupboard and forgot about it. I had thought long and hard about the lenses I would take on the month trip to Myanmar at Christmas, but because the 55-200 lens was not sealed, it did not even get on the short list. I ended up specifically purchasing the 18-135 because of the weather sealing. I had been to Myanmar on two prior occasions and I remembered how unbelievably dusty and dirty it can be over there (especially Mandalay and Hsipaw).
