Fujifilm Confirms X-Pro2 Lock Ups with Firmware 4.00. Bug Fix Coming Soon

Firmware Bug

As we reported here on FujiRumors a few days ago, there is a little bug on the latest X-Pro2 firmware ver.4.00. The camera locks up when you shoot advanced filters at lossless compressed + JPEG.

Well, Fujifilm read about the bug you guys reported here on FujiRumors, checked the firmware, and now confirms here that firmware 4 has indeed this issue.

Notice for customers
We have confirmed that X-Pro2 with the upgraded firmware (ver.4.00) released on Dec 22 2017 stops working in certain settings.
We deeply apologize for your inconvenience this may cause. The symptom will happen only when all three conditions below are set at the same time.

1) IMAGE QUALITY : FINE+RAW or NORMAL + RAW
2) RAW RECORDING : LOSSLESS COMPRESSED
3) DRIVE : any of ADVANCED FILTER
* This is not factory setting. If the symptom happens, please remove the battery once for recovery. We are preparing a revised firmware as a solution and plan to release it as soon as possible.

Fujifilm will soon deliver a fix for the bug.

Thanks to the FR-reader for sharing this news with me via email.

Fujifilm X-T20 Will Get Extensive Firmware Update Early 2018 – Fujifilm Germany

There Will Be Kaizen… for X-T20

*** NEW FIRMWARE TODAY ***
for X-T1, X100F and X-T20.
All details here

Fujifilm just ended 2017 with a bunch of firmware updates, some definitely worth to be called Kaizen, like the one for the X-T2 last month and the upcoming X-Pro2 firmware.

However, X-T20 owners were not so lucky, and basically could enjoy just the new EVF/Touch screen feature. Hence, all X-T20 were disappointed not to get the faster AF-tracking, the highlight blinkies, the RGB histogram and more.

But there is hope :)

Fujifilm Germany said in the comments (back on December 1) to one of their facebook posts (google translated):

“The x-T20 will get this feature [X RAW Studio support] with an extensive firmware update. The update is expected to be available early / spring 2018. Unfortunately, implementation is not possible for all models at the same time.”

If Fujifilm Germany has correct information, then it is just a matter of time, and also Fujifilm X-T20 owners will get their Kaizen Love. And considering how successful the X-T20 line is, the “extensive X-T20 firmware update” in early 2018 will make many photographers happy.

Thanks to the FR-reader, who just dropped me this link. As you can see, it seems a news only exists once it is on FujiRumors. So even though the comment is old, there were no reports about it on the web.

However, what I don’t see, you see it. Thanks a TON for your support. It means everything to me. Feel free to keep up sharing :)

Fujifilm X-H1 “4K Photo” Feature is Basically a Timelapse Feature

X-H1 Mock-ups based on accurate sketches of our Japanese Source

Fujifilm X-H1

Recently I reported about a new feature on the Fujifilm X-H1, but I had so vague information about it, that I specifically told you to hold on for more details. All I knew is that it might combine movie and stills… somehow.

I speculated here that it could maybe be something like Panasonic’s “4K Photo” feature, where you can extract a photo out of a 4K video.

Now another source contacted me with a further hint, and told me that it is basically a timelapse feature.

I will try to dig up more details for you guys, and thanks to the source for showing me the way ;)

And feel free to join our hyper-active Fujifilm X-H group.

Meet the Fujifilm X-H1… Now also Top & Backside View

Fujifilm X-H1 Sketches

We already leaked the front of the Fujifilm X-H1 here.

Now the Japanese source finally shared also the Back and Top side of the camera.

This is no technical drawing, but a manual sketch, made quickly for us from our Japanese source, but you guys won’t really notice any relevant difference to the real camera, once we see the first pictures.

I would like to say a big thanks to the Japanese source and to all other source, who keep up helping me on FujiRumors. A virtual hug to all of them out there.

What we See

Please note that the viewfinder protrudes backwards. It is not that easy to see, due to the perspective of the sketches, but it’s basically a little block protruding from the back of the camera. It’s great to have a bit more distance between nose and screen ;).

For comparison, I show you also the X-T2, where the viewfinder is basically perfectly in line with the back of the camera.

Overall, the X-H1 looks like an X-T2 with a GFX handgrip.

There is the joystick, the Q button the very right of the camera and all the other buttons you already know from X-T2 and GFX. There is also AF-ON button.

 

New Size Comparison

There is also a new size comparison X-T2 Vs. X-H1 made by a FR-reader at our exploading X-H facebook group. Check it out below. In this size comparison it seems that the difference between X-T2 and X-H1 is a bit smaller than in the one we shared earlier.

Fujifilm X-H1: EVF with 30%+ Higher Resolution than X-T2!

This has to be one of the best rumor X-mas we ever had :)

While we are waiting for our trusted Japanese source to give us the top and back sketch of the Fujifilm X-H1, we can enjoy more specs :)

Earlier today we not only shared the first accurate sketch of the X-H1, but also the full 4K video specs here.

Now it’s time to talk about the viewfinder of the Fujifilm X-H1.

There will be huge increase in resolution of over 30%! And indeed, one of my major complaints with my X-T1 is that the viewfinder is actually too big for the resolution it offers. So I am very happy to hear that finally the X-H1 EVF received the resolution boost that also the X-T1 and X-T2 would need.

A very long list of rumored specs can be found below.

Fujifilm X-H1: 4K with 1.17x Crop… and more Video Specs

One of the biggest and never answered questions until right now was: will the Fujfilm X-H1 have full sensor readout at 4K?

Well, I have to tell you, that it will have the same 1.17x crop of the Fujiflm X-T2, and since it uses the same X Processor Pro of the X-T2 (as we reported first here on FR).

The full 4K specs are: 4K, 1.17x crop, 30p, 4:2:0 8 bit 200 Mbps (the X-T2 has 100 Mbps)

LEAKED: This is the Fujifilm X-H1

** Join our X-H1 facebook group **

Christmas is that time of the year, where our trusted Japanese source wants to make us all its traditional present in form of some nice leaks :) . And this time, it shared with us its self-made accurate sketch of the Fujifilm X-H1.

If you think it’s just a fake, then see how it sketched the X-Pro2 two years ago here… identical to the real thing, right?

Also in this case, that’s how the X-H1 will really look like. On the day you will see the real thing, you won’t notice any difference over this sketch… except maybe for a few almost invisible “errors” I asked the Japanese source to make, in oder to track back those site, who copycat. Changes are almost invisible, don’t worry ;)

We see:

  • the much bigger hand grip compared to the X-T2. Look basically identical to the one of the Fujifilm GFX 50S.
  • the lack of exposure compensation dial.

Top and Back?

And the back and top sketch? Wait a bit… there is a reason for the delay. Will explain later.

But don’t miss it when it goes online, and click on the “bell-icon” on the bottom right of your browser to enable browser push notifications and follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter, Instagram as well as our Fujifilm X-H1 facebook group, which is gaining hundreds of X-H1 interested people every day.

X-T2 Vs. X-H1 Size

This is a very accurate sketch, but there could millimetric proportion differences to the original, since it’s drawn by hand. And yet, I decided to match the sketch with the mount of the real X-T2, to see if it confirms that the X-H1 is bigger. A comparison that does not pretend to be 100% perfect, because it’s a sketch and also because it’s not easy to match 100% perfectly the mout size. You can try it by your own if you want and then share in the comments (with fujirumors.com watermark ;) )

But before we share the size comparison…

…. KNGO just dropped me this image from Cambodia and wanted to say a quick “Thank You” to all of you guys.

They received all $5,000 from the various charity initiatives we have made on FR such as our fair trade T-shirts and your support went 100% into free education for these kids. And I want to assure KNGO, that our support won’t end here :)

Of course, you don’t have to wait the next FR-charity action to support these kids. KNGO has a Donate Page, where you can drop a few bucks via paypal. If you were looking for a X-mas donation to make somewhere, I can warmly recommend to support KNGO.

Fujifilm X-H1 will have Same X-Processor Pro of X-T2… Film Simulation “Eterna” X-T2 Kaizen Update Possible?

X-Processor Pro

According to our sources, the Fujifilm X-H1 will have the same X-Processor Pro of the Fujifilm X-T2.

This is great news for X-Pro2, X-T2, X-T20, X100F and X-E3 owners, as it gives us hope that “Eterna“, Fujifilm’s new film simulation, will come also to those cameras via Kaizen update.

Let me explain it…

but before that… our X-H group is exploding… you are welcome to join :)

Film Simulation Kaizen Update for X-T2 & Co?

Now, film simulations are a “processor thing“.

This means that cameras featuring an older processor will not support film simulations, that have been introduced in cameras with newer processors. So, for example, the Acros film simulation on the X-T2 & Co cameras with X-Processor Pro, will never be implemented on Fuji cameras with older and slower EXR processors like the X-T1.

But since the X-H1 features the same same X-Processor Pro of the X-T2 and friends, there is hope that “Eterna” will come also to older X-Processor Pro cameras.
