Over at DPReview, somebody shared the new features guide for the Fujifilm GFX100 firmware 5.00.
Thanks to Stefan from DPR for sharing this. Nice spot!
Fujifilm has launched a massive rebate on the original Fujifilm GFX100, with a hefty $3,500 rebate!
The only problem: also the Fujifilm GFX100S has a nice rebate and for many this might still be the better deal.
Check out all Fujifilm GFX and X deals below.
FujiRumors has already told you that the next GFX camera will be the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement.
As you can imagine, I am is working on it and the rumors will drop for sure. What I am not sure is if you’ll love or hate what you’ll hear. For that, you’ll have to read FujiRumors and I’ll have to read your reaction in the comments.
So stay tuned… interesting times ahead ;).

Fujifilm has finally released the Fujifilm GFX100S firmware fix they promised us a couple of days ago.
The curious thing about this bug: people were forced to use a workaround for a while, and I know that some fellow GFX100S shooters, who applied the workaround, now actually stick with it as they find it more convenient that keeping the button pressed to change exposure compensation.
So, not all the bad comes to hurt, at least not for those, who now stick with the workaround solution.
Down below you find all the firmware details and download links.
Fujifilm has released the new firmware for the Fujifilm GFX50SII, which fixes the bug with the exposure compensation button.
The Fujifilm GFX100S suffers the same issue after the latest firmware, but so far it has not yet received the bug fix firmware. Fujifilm writes:
Revised firmware for FUJIFILM GFX100S is still being evaluated, although it was planned to be released on May 31.
We will release the revised version A.S.A.P. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
In the meantime, here is the workaround (which some might even prefer).
Yesterday Fujifilm released a statement, where they acknowledge the exposure compensation bug introduced on Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX50SII with the latest firmware and they said a fix will be out on May 31.
Of course FujiRumors reported about it yesterday, but we also suggested a temporary workaround based on a recommendation that came from one of our fellow Fujifilm GFX users members here.
Well, it looks like Fujifilm read our article and has now updated their statement suggesting the very same workaround.
The exposure compensation can be used by changing the [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] to [ON/OFF SWITCH], which will be the temporary workaround until the revised firmware is released.
*The menu flow to make the above setting is as follows.
[SETUP MENU] ➔ [BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] ➔ [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] ➔ [ON/OFF SWITCH].
Always happy to help, Fujifilm :)
And thanks again to our amazing Fujifilm GFX group and Carlos in this case! You made it into an official Fujifilm press note.

Fringer adapters can be ordered at B&H Photo, AmazonUS and Adorama.
List of Smart Adapters
There are currently massive deals running on Fujifilm GFX gear. So I thought let’s share a dedicated GFX roundup, just in case you are interested in the system and want to see what others think about it.
Lots of reviews will also cover the Fujinon GF20-35mmF4 lens, which is not included in the rebates, but is a true gem and I am afraid will pretty much reduce sales for the Fujinon GF 23mm f/4 to a minimum, as it is more flexible and smaller, while still being optically fantastic.
Also, I warmly recommend you to join our Fujifilm GFX group, which is full of talented and passionate GFX shooters sharing their work and thoughts there.
