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 Firmware 4.00: First Looks, New Features Test and Follow Up on Possible External Monitor Recording Bug

So the Fujifilm X-T2 firmware 4.00 is out since a few days now, and we can now find more and more people enjoying the new features and sharing their testings on the web.

You will find a selection of X-T2 firmware 4.00 testings down below.

But first, a mandatory update to a possible bug we reported here. The issue is that 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.

Now Josh uploaded part 2 of the video, and he shows the different settings he used. A bug? Or maybe something wrong with the settings? Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments.

And here is more feedback and testing.

Fujifilm X-H1 Vs. Sony A7III Vs. Sony A6500 Comparisons

Sony A7III Vs Fujifilm X-H1

This is probably one of the hottest camera comparisons currently on the web: Sony A7III Vs. Fujifilm X-H1.

Now also mirrorlesscomparison compares the two cameras, and it’s as usual a very in depth comparison, so make sure to check it out all.

From the conclusions:

The A7 III ticks all the boxes: great image and video quality, stunning autofocus performance, excellent speed and buffer, lots of customisation, superior battery life, a dual SD card slot and more.

Is it perfect? No camera is, and this one is no exception. For example, the choice to keep the design compact means that the camera isn’t as comfortable with large lenses, and the image stabilisation – while useful with non-stabilised lenses – is the only thing that hasn’t really improved in over three years.

The X-H1 is a different product in many ways, last but not least because it has been designed for a different audience. […]

The X-H1 may sound less exciting than the Sony, but it would be wrong to undermine it. It got some basic yet very important things right, like the comfortable grip, the user-friendly interface and a better implementation of touch screen capabilities. It also shows that Fujifilm is capable of delivering on the video side, not only in terms of quality but also with its clever features and settings.

The X-H1 is also the camera debuts 5-axis stabilisation on the X series, which […] in many ways, is already better than the Sony’s stabilisation system.

The reason the X-H1 doesn’t impress me as much as it should – despite being the most advanced and complete product from Fujifilm to date – has to do with the things that haven’t changed.

Fujifilm X-T2 Firmware 4.00 First Looks, What SONY Thinks About Firmware Updates and Kaizen Makes LOTS of Sense

Fujifilm X-T2 FW 4.00 is Out

If you follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter (and also allowed browser push notifications!!!), you will have received notification about the new firmware 4.00 for Fujifilm X-T2 about half a second after Fujifilm made it officially available for donwload.

You can download the new firmware here.

Does it Make Sense? – Part 2 :)

In case you missed it, make sure to check out our previous post about it and the huge discussion we are having there.

Of course the “it makes no sense” in my previous article is in part a provocation and surely ironic… but it’s also a bit of a reminder, that we should not take for granted what Fujifilm is doing. These updates cost money and upgrading old cameras means current customers are less likely to buy the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.

But of course there is also the other side of the medal.

Fujifilm Kaizen firmware updates create brand loyalty and might even attract customers from other brands, who don’t get nearly as much firmware love as Fujifilm X and GFX shooters.
