Fujifilm X-T50 Bug Fix Firmware Released

Now that was fast!

Last time there was a bug, Fujifilm needed two months to issue a fix. This time they needed 2 days. Now that’s what I call an improvement ;).

Anyway, the Fujifilm X-T50 bug we reported here has now been fixed. Happy download!

Firmware Details

Fujifilm X-T50 ver. 1.02 – download here
The firmware update Ver.1.02 from Ver.1.01 incorporates the following issues:

  1. The firmware bug is fixed that the error message, “THIS FIRMWARE IS NOT FOR THIS MODEL TURN OFF THE CAMERA” is displayed on the LCD during the firmware update from Ver.1.00 to Ver.1.01 for specific serial numbers and the firmware update cannot be performed.

    Note-1: Refer to the “Notice and apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users” for the details.
    Note-2: Although there are no differences of features and performance of the camera itself between Ver.1.01 and Ver.1.02, all X-T50 users can update this firmware (ver.1.02) even who had already completed the update to Ver.1.01.

SmallRig Cooling System for Selected Fujifilm Cameras

Cooling system for cameras are nothing new.

Of course there is Fujifilm, with its own (and best) offering, the FAN-001, but that one is limited to X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20 and GFX100II. It won’t work on other cameras.

Other brands jumped into this space and offer their own cooling systems, such as the Ulanzi cooling system for Fujifilm cameras. And also Tilta is known for its solutions.

Well, we now have more options available.

In fact, SmallRig just launched the SmallRig Cooling System.

  • Rapid Cooling System
    Utilizes a high-efficiency fan paired with a TEC cooling module to swiftly cool down the camera, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Intelligent Temperature Control
    Features an automatic temperature control design that intelligently regulates the camera’s temperature for consistent operation.
  • Effortless Snap-On Installation
    Easily install and remove the device with a snap-on mechanism, enhancing compatibility with a wide range of cameras.
  • Versatile Usage
    Can be used independently or with a camera cage, offering a lighter and more flexible shooting experience.
  • Power Flexibility
    Compatible with the V-Mount Battery Mount Plate Kit 4064B/4063B, supporting V-Mount batteries and various power supply options for convenient use in diverse settings.

Notice that on their website, SmallRig only mentions the Fujifilm X-T4 and X-S10 as being compatible. So I am not sure if it will work with other Fujifilm cameras that have a selfie screen (X-S20 etc).

Fujifilm X App 2.1.2 released

Fujifilm has updated the X App software to version 2.1.2 for iOS. Down below are all the details.

Btw, what’s you experience with App? For me it is working quite well so far. Definitely a more pleasing experience than the old app. I actually also used it to update the firmware on my X-T5 the other day.

What’s New

  1. The following software bugs are fixed.
    (1) Live View is not displayed in the correct aspect ratio depending on the smartphone settings.
    (2) The “Number of lifetime shots” is not displayed correctly in “Equipment Status” When using X100VI.
  2. The item name is revised as follows.
    (1) The item name, “MECHANICAL SHUTTER (current module)” displayed in the “Equipment Status” is changed to match the “Number of shutter movements” used in some camera menus.

You can download the latest Fujifilm X App for iOS here and for Android here.

Fujifilm June Announcements: New Firmware Updates (Reala Ace), New Tether Software and New GFX Challenge Grant Program 2024

Fujifilm is back with three announcements:

You can see all details in the video above.

Usually Fujifilm also teases new X summits in these videos, but this time they did not say or hint anything about future X summit.

Personally I am so excited to finally be able to shoot in Reala Ace. Will it be able to dethrone Astia as my favorite allrounder film simulation? I will let you know here on FujiRumors. :)

New Fujifilm Tether App Launched and X RAW Studio Updated

It’s Update Day

Fujifilm just released major firmware updates for several cameras and also for a lens.

But that’s not all.

There are updates also for Fujifilm X RAW Studio and also a brand new software has been launched, the Fujifilm Tether App.

So let’s look at what happened.

Fujifilm X RAW Studio

Fujifilm has released an update for the Fujifilm X RAW Studio software.

Fujifilm X RAW Studio Ver.1.24.0 – download here
The software update Ver.1.24.0 incorporates the following issues:

  1. “REALA ACE” RAW development is now supported.
  2. A software bug is fixed that the “COLOR TEMPERATURE” of “WHITE BALANCE” set in “Profile” is not reflected to the preview and recorded image correctly with macOS 14.

Fujifilm Tether App

We told you something new would happen also on the software front, and here it is: the brand new “Fujifilm Tether App”.

”FUJIFILM TETHER APP” provides functions to utilize digital cameras (GFX/X series) by connecting them to a computer. Even if your camera does not support the tethered shooting function, you can use the function to save/load camera settings.

You can read all the details below and download it here.

New Firmware Updates Coming Soon (see X-T5 with Reala Ace) and New Surprise App Coming too

What you can see above is the lovely Fujifilm X-T5 with Reala Ace on its Film Simulation menu.

And if you are looking on your X-T5 if it has that too, then do not waste your time.

Mere mortals like you and me, will have to wait a few more days for the Reala Ace firmware to come to X Processor 5 Fujifilm cameras.

The firmware should also fix the annoying autofocus bug we reported about.

One last thing: there should soon be also a new “surprise” App coming.

Fujifilm Says Firmware Autofocus Bug Fix and Reala Ace are Coming End of June

Fujifilm USA manager Victor Ha was a guest at the latest Adorama live show.

When asked about the autofocus bug fix on a few Fujifilm cameras, the manager says first of all thanks to the Fujifilm community for reporting about it, but especially he says there will be a firmware fix coming on the end of June.

Also, the Fujifilm X-T5 & Co will finally get Reala Ace film simulation with this update on the end of June.

That’s in contrast to what Fujifilm China said, who announced the Reala Ace firmware coming in August.
