Fujifilm Setup Guide – My Camera Settings

When it comes to getting a new camera, it can sometimes be a daunting task. A number of people have asked me what settings to apply when you first get the camera, so this will cover off what I would recommend setting up and why. Some of this will be a bit subjective so if you disagree, you probably know enough about the settings to know why.

I’ll continue to update this article and include the date at the top of the article as I update to ensure that readers are aware of whether it has been updated to include a specific version. If you think I’ve missed anything in the article, please let me know at the bottom in comments. When I set this up I went through my menu’s looking at the items that were important to me, but I could well have missed something.

This guide is specific to the newer range of cameras, the X-H1, X-T2, X-E3 and alike, but most of these settings could probably be applied to almost any Fujifilm camera.

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

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 Firmware 4.00 New Features Guide Available

Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00 New Features Guide

Fujifilm just published the Fujifilm X-T2 new features guide for firmware 4.00 (English version – select your language).

The firmware itself has been released a few hours ago and we reported (and discussed a lot) about it here.

Another good day to be a Fuji X Shooter! :)

Fujifilm X-T2 Kaizen Firmware 4.00 Officially Available… and This Makes NO Sense, FUJI! :)

Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00

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.

Having problems to update your firmare? Then read Rico’s “Tips for Updating your Firmware“.

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.

Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00 Download File Leaked at Fujifilm Cina – Full List of Features but DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00

As you know, Fujifilm said they will release a firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T2, GFX, X-Pro2 and X-H1 in May.

Now Fujifilm China has made the firmware file ver. 4.00 available for download here.

We DO NOT RECOMMEND to upgrade your X-T2 until it is available at Fujifilm’s global site here, which currently still shows firmware ver. 3.00.

It looks like somebody at Fujifilm China has pushed the “publish” button too early.

Do NOT upgrade because:

  • Fujifilm could find a last second bug before the official release, and hence fix the bug before the official launch
  • If you download and install the Chinese X-T2 ver. 4.00 now, and if Fujifilm really finds a last second bug and delays firmware 4.00, once the official ver. 4.00 will be out, your camera could have problems to upgrade to the “official” ver. 4.00, since there could be a conflict and your X-T2 will say that firmware 4.00 is already installed.
  • Wait… please wait… it can’t be long anymore… must be a matter of a few days

I do share the information here on FujiRumors about the Chinese firmware leak, because it includes the full list of features the X-T2 will get with firmware ver. 4.00.

Quick Tip: Monitor Your Audio on Fujifilm X-T2 / X-H1 using micro HDMI to VGA adapter

As you know, the Fujifilm X-H1 and X-T2 have the headphone jack built-in only into the vertical battery grip, hence you need to get the grip in order to be able to monitor your audio.

But there is a (very cheap) workaround.

Fujifilm X-H1 facebook group member S. has reported to us a little “hack”, that some of you might find useful, too.

“I have just make with success the hack for the audio out monitoring with a micro-HDMI to VGA adaptor. Very lightweight. It works perfectly just plugging the headphone. The adaptor works without external power supply. No audio lag in headphones during filming”.

Just one lack:

“In PLAY mode, the X-H1 shows the film only by the HDMI output, not on its display. I hope that a future firmware can give the possibility to play the videos on the display even when a micro-HDMI is plugged.”

Internal Fujifilm Document Predicts 50% Market Share Decrease for Canon and Nikon Within 2021… and About CaNikon’s FF Mirrorless

Canon Vs. Nikon Vs. Fujifilm

** Update: Thom Hogan also things the prediction is BS. Read his article at sansmirrors **

This morning started just as usual.

I woke up at 5:30 AM to prepare my coffee in the fantastic Bialetti Brikka Moka recommended to me by a FR-reader (thanks a ton, a game changer :) ).

Usually I get about 10 emails over night, and I try to reply to all of them as quickly as possible within 6:30 AM, but this morning an email of a source made me almost spill my precious coffee.

I received the information about an internal Fujifilm document that predicts the following scenario:
