Faster "Face Detection AF"įor street photographers, fashion photographers, wedding photographers, and sports photographers, faster face detection and focusing is a great added update.
15 minutes is a long time, but if you know there is not a chance of getting car lights that you didn't plan for you'll get some amazing star trails in-camera. When I shoot star trails or astrophotography, I often comp the long exposed images using an application called Star-Stax. Light pollution has always been a concern for me. I've only exposed up to 30 seconds with my Canon 5D Mark III.
With the update it can expose for up to 15 minutes. These cameras had the capability of exposing for 30 seconds. Programmable Long Exposure of up to 15 Minutes
Ilford FP4 Plus is a black n white ISO 125 stock that gives a silky smooth look and it'll be great if the ISO update to the Fuji cameras can do something similar.
The Kodak 35mm Professional Portra Color Film stock has incredible colors and a smooth grain that give the images the "other-worldly yet real" look. These ISO sensitivities were mostly written off by the DSLR brands, but it used to be the films many professional photographers used to shoot with. Just like in the film days, you can now choose ISO 125 and ISO 160 to shoot in. You can shoot in other bracketing modes too, like ISO, Dynamic Range, White Balance and Film Simulation modes and Advanced Filter modes. When shooting raw, you now have the ability to not only shoot in Aperture Priority mode (AE - Automatic Exposure). Shooting Raw in Bracketing and Advanced Filters I am not affiliated with the brand, by I'm really considering getting the X-T2.Īlthough there are 33 updates in total and all of them are great, I chose the top 10 updates that stand out to me as possible game changers: 1. You're not buying a camera, you're buying a photographer lifestyle. The speed and thinking of the Fuji team is really a benefit of owning one of these cameras. What I found interesting, and a first brands that I know of to do so, is the possibility of adding voice notes while paging through your images.įor photographers always on the go, you don't have to keep your journal with you anymore, you can record as you page through your photos. The update, as stated by them, is reflective of user requests that they have received. The first update is due end of March, and the second one will be released end of May. 2 in this web site and then format the SDXC memory card before using it.Fujifilm will soon release a firmware update for their flagship cameras, the X-T2 and the X-Pro2. If using an SDXC memory card with existing files or one that has not been recently formatted:” in the article titled “Important notice for consumers processing FUJIFILM digital camera files using macOS” that was published on Feb. If you are using a macOS computer to process recorded files in the SDXC memory card, make sure to follow the procedure below before upgrading the firmware.įollow the instructions in “II-2.

The following specification has been revised to improve compatibility with SDXC memory card format. “Revised specification from Ver.2.10/2.11 to Ver.2.20 Here is the proposition of upgrading the X-S10 firmware Will be venturing into Manhattan this weekend to meet up with other "X" shooters to photograph in the lower east side, Chinatown, Bowery etc so will be my first genuine test with my new gear. I'm still just a week into this X-T2 and recovering from pneumonia so my break-in has been limited to in-house and being driven to/from the doctors. I'm up to speed on the focus stacking capabilities, custom settings to change exposure display size in the EVG & monitor, and improvements within the AF tracking/speed/accuracy. If anyone can provide details and real-world uses on what Fuji enhanced within photography since the 3.0 version that would be wonderful. Seems most of the update has improved VIDEO capability, which I have no interest in at all. So I've gone ahead and installed the Ver.4.30 firmware without a hitch. Thanks, George, and Merlin again for the feedback. No feedback - I would say everybody is happy with it, otherwise there would be plenty od feedback for sure. X-T2 / 4.30 - I have absolutely no problems, recommended.
