Notice and Apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users: Serial Number of X-T50’s Affected by Firmware Bug and Fix Coming Soon

Just 2 days ago, Fujifilm released a bunch of new firmware updates.

Well, there firmware is buggy for some Fujifilm X-T50 cameras. Fujifilm promises a fix coming soon.

This has to be one of the most curious bugs I have ever seen, as it affects only silver colored Fujifilm X-T50’s. And only certain serial numbers are affected. You can read the details down below.

If you already updated and had no issues, then your firmware is perfectly fine.
