Shedding some light on the sources of noise. Most bookmarked in this forum. Fn button and the firmware version is displayed at the top right corner. If all else fails, each products Instruction Manual should detail how the firmware version can be accessed. Back To Download. G1 Software Install Procedure Godox have released the much anticipated new G1 firmware update software, which very much simplifies user firmware update procedures.
Free 7-Zip software can extract. They don't seem to care. I was disappointed that the rumored update to the X-E2 allowing WiFi control from a smartphone did not materialize, that will teach me to pay less attention to the rumors ;-. How come they need a firmware update for every camera to support a new lens? And what other lens makers are supposed to do, who cannot upgrade a firmware in every Fujifilm camera as soon as they release a new lens?
And what will happen to old bodies when they go out of support eventually - no compatibility with new lenses for them? Seems like a bad standard. It doesn't seem to be a bad standard, it IS one. A serious design flaw, related to the way these lenses are focussing. Fujifilm tries to keep up some masquerade: each new lens update also contains other, completely unimportant features that are being changed and enabled to make it look 'generic'.
The X-Pro1 has gone through about 15 FW updates now, well this must be a sad note in the Guiness book of records. Also in the opposite sense, if I want to use a first gen lens on a X-series I'm a day 1 user, to be honest, there are days I like the system, but also moments I detest the issues, problems, quirks that I have NEVER encountered with any other system. Even firmware-updates require sometimes a bit of manipulation, as I experienced with this last one on Mac.
That's reality. It's like an exotic sportscar, where the driver needs to be an engineer and garage technician at the same time, to keep the thing on the road and yes, there are also a lot of fans for this type of cars. Fuji's firmwares are a story of its down, and who doesn't see there is something very weird with it, is blind.
Your comments don't make any sense. I can tell as I own X-T1. These cameras work perfectly well. Never had any of the flaws you mention. Most of the fuji firmware updates just ADD extra functionality. Most of those extra's are additions and requests from photographers wishing that their camera can do that 'extra' thing. Then in one of those firmware upgrades in many times you can indeed do that 'extra thing' that was broadly requested.
Now how many camera manufacturers do actually listen to their customers? Reason for the firmware updates with each release of a new lens has nothing to do with camera flaws, but is because Fuji does in camera barrel distortion, chroma removal and other kind of 'repairs' to lens flaws.
You'll probably will call that cheating, while others just like the fact that they don't have to do those things in post. How bad is it? You are buying a shiny new expensive lens, and it does not work as it should without a firmware for all your cameras? Why the data for the lens making it work optimally is not stored in the lens itself, as it is done in m43 for example?
Everybody does that, but competent standards store the profiles needed in the lenses themselves and communicate everything to the camera when the lens is mounted and camera is turned on. Just wondering How many firmware updates has the Hubble Telescope endured by those pesky NASA engineers just to eek out a little more resolution?
Couldn't they have predicted every eventuality that was to happen over the next 24 years! NASA where was your crystal ball in ? Talk about a masquerade and design flaw! What will happen when there is no compatibility - serious design flaw. Really Guy's?
Also, I was wondering if the XP1 lockup bug was ever fixed; where you have to switch off and then on again every now and then.
The image processor in the X-E1 and X-Pro1 hasn't been updated and won't be updated, so there won't be any plastic skin coming to those models. Since this isn't seen in RAW on the newer cameras, only jpeg, it's arguably a firmware effect. No it couldn't. It's the image processor in the X-E2. And of course it's not seen in RAW.
RAW isn't processed. And ASICs are themselves often programmable, such as floating point or matrices processors. Therefore, it is quite possible that this problem could be addressed in a firmware update. Without further info from Fuji we can't tell either way. A better question is why are you so paranoid? The X-E1 and X-Pro1 firmware has been updated numerous times with no change whatsoever to image quality.
Yet here you are Thanks for that. Are you some kind of fuji fanboi that you need to be so aggressive and personal in their defence? There have been few updates since the introduction of the XE2. And since the plastic skin textures are a strategic and perhaps marketing ploy, then there is every reason to fear such an update. And fear it one must as a jpeg shooter as it makes high ISO people shots unusable.
Well, actually, a lot of us Fuji users use JPEG much-much more frequently than would do the same on other systems for example Sony. This issue is for sure the biggest since X-E2 come to the market based on how many user's coplains about it and are waiting to fix it by Fuji Fuji is indebted even this to many X-E2 customers, I think. Again, I hope Fuji works on it to fix it and we will all be happy soon including me : If it will not be fixed High quality EVFs, or electronic viewfinders, are pretty ubiquitous these days, but that wasn't always the case.
This week we take a retrospective look at several cameras that raised the bar for EVF performance. After the official launch of the X-Pro2 recently in Tokyo, Fujifilm invited a select group of press to visit its Taiwa assembly plant in Sendai, to see the camera being put together.
