Fujifilm X-T2 will NOT have Pentax K1 alike flex Tilt Screen! – Trusted Japanese Source

pentax K1

When here on FujiRumors we first leaked the images of the X-T2 (back in April 15), we all could see that the tilt screen is definitely different compared to the one of the X-T1

My very personal guess was, that it could have a mechanism like the one we can find in the [shoplink 45357 ebay]Pentax K1[/shoplink].

But I was wrong!

The trusted Japanese source noticed my wrong guess and invited me to correct it: as the image shows, the X-T2 will indeed have a different tilt mechanism over the X-T1, but it’s not like the one of the Pentax K1.

That’s it for now… stay tuned for more

RUMOR: Bug Fix Firmware for Fujifilm X-Pro2 coming!

FW

According to a trusted source (thanks for sharing), Fujifilm will release a bug fix Firmware for the X-Pro2! This Firmware comes after FW 1.01, which fixed the Reset Issue.

What will it fix? It will probably fix black frame issue (Black Frames between shots in single shot mode) and maybe some other bugs (Full list of X-Pro2 Bugs here)

When will it come? I’m not sure yet. Maybe there will be a dedicated Firmware very soon or maybe it will be bundled with the EF-X500 or 2.0x Teleconverter support Firmware later on. The latter option could allow Fujifilm to “hide” the bug-fix behind a regular support Firmware.

Good to see Fujifilm fixing these bugs… so the Fujifilm X-T2 won’t have these issues at its launch.
