Fuji X70 registered in China!

707070

The X70 is a perfect example about how Fujifilm can plan a new product (and FR sources tell you about), then drop plans (and FR sources tell you about), and then, a few years later, change opinion again and work on the same product again and this time really lauch it (and FR sources tell you about). Makes 2 wrong rumors anyway ;)

I’ve shared the first rumor about the X70 back in September 2013, saying it would be smaller EVF-less X100S.

Well, we are almost in 2016, and the camera might finally come. As spotted by digicame-info, it has been registered at the Chinese radio wave authentication institution. You can download the EXCEL file here.

4.20 kaizen

Good Coffee + New Firmware… a great way to start the day :-)

_ _ _

I’ve received a few emails from X-shooters, asking why I didn’t report about the new X-T1 FW 4.20.

Well, actually I shared the post 5 seconds after Fuji released the Firwmare, because a super-kind anonymous source told me at what time it would have come (so I set my alarm clock accordingly). Thanks :)

But since it’s now the second news on the frontpage, it can happen that some miss this news. So I thought it could be a good idea to post a reminder to this post.

It happens to miss something, with the huge news/rumors/deals/review stream here on FujiRumors. I recommend you to follow FR also at the Fuji X Forum, Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter, so you’ll get the news via other channels, too.

So, don’t forget to upgrade your X-T1 with Firmware 4.20 while drinking your your morning coffee. Download it now here.

IT’S HERE! Fujifilm X-T1 Firmware 4.20 available for Download NOW!

Share

alsjdajsd

First off, thanks a lot to an anonymous source, who gave me the hint about the time of the Firmware release. I’ve put my alarm clock at 01:55 AM MEZ thanks to your hint ;)

So here it is, the new Fujfilm X-T1 FW 4.20. It brings all the improvements tha leaked FujiUSA announcement promised.

Special note to the Video Button becoming a function button: I’ve shared this rumor already back in October, and it comes from the same source, who told us that “there is an internal fujifilm lens roadmap that includes a 8mm, a 200mm and the 33mm.”

Happy Download here :)

P.S.: There is also an announcement of support for Microsoft Windows 10 (Digital camera) – Read here

Over $3,000 raised for Charity with the X-shirts… keep it up :-)

1. Using a flashgun in Bracketing/Continuous shooting

Optional flashguns can now be used for bracketing and burst photography. When using the EF-X8, which is bundled with the X-T1, the flash fires in ISO, FILM SIMULATION and WHITE BALANCE BKT modes.

2. Instant AF Setting in manual focus

Focus and exposure can now be locked when the AF-L button is used in manual focus mode. You can shoot after locking AF and AE with your thumb.

3. AF+MF operation with AF-L button

The AF-L button can be used to lock focus in AF+MF mode and you can adjust the focus more accurately using the lens’s focusing ring.

4. Focus zoom in AF+MF

The FOCUS ASSIST button can be used for focus zoom and you can fine tune focusing using the lens’s focusing ring with focus zoom activated.

5. Additional Custom Display options

Functions have been added to the DISP. CUSTOM SETTING option in the setup menu. Choose the information you want, then concentrate on shooting.
(Additional items)
Focus frame/Shooting mode/ Information background/Focus mode/Shutter type/Continuous mode/Dual IS mode/Movie mode /Blur warning

6. The Fn7 Button

The movie-record button now doubles as an Fn button (Fn7). Press and hold DISP/BACK to select what it controls.

Good News (hopefully ;) ) – BUG FIXED! Fuji X-T1 Firmware might be ready for X-mas (and probably the 17th)

Share

photo KAIZEN_zps1fdb780f.png

On December 11 Fujifilm USA published the official announcement of the X-T1 FW4.20, sharing all the details of the update and saying it will be available for download on December 17.

But then something strange happened: Fujifilm USA had to remove it!

Why?

Because, according to my sources, the firmware was not planed for December 17 but later.

However, the article here on Fujirumors made thousands of X-T1 shooters cheer for joy for the nice Kaizen X-T1 Firmware X-mas present…. and this suddenly made a lot of pressure on Fujifilm, so they stepped on the gas pedal and worked hard to get it ready for the originally planed date: December 17.

And hear hear!!! I just got the following message from the same source, who is keeping me up to date with the latest evolution regarding the X-T1 Firmware. I quote:

“the thing [new X-T1 FW] that was supposed to happen in a few days and then not, might still happen – fixed ;)”

I know, to dissipate any doubt on this little rumor-drama, it would be great if Fujfilm would tell us why they removed the official FW announcement, but I doubt they will ever officially confirm what I wrote in this post (for some reason they don’t like me ;) ).

On the other hand, you might understand that I have to protect my sources 110%, so I will never ever share more about this story than I do now. You can trust me or not, up to you… and in case you are undecided, this post might help you to take your decision.

Sometimes that’s the way it is: I have to pay for the confusion/changes/mess inside Fujifilm. But I’ve fastened my seatbelt and put on my helmet…

Is this the final thing?

While there are now again hopes to get the new X-T1 FW on Dec.17, you should always keep in mind, that Fuji can change release date of Firmware even in the last hours. Fujifilm absolutely wants to avoid the problem that occurred with X-Pro1 FW 3.00, which had to be taken off shortly after its release, because it was faulty. That’s why Firmware rumors are the trickiest to work on… there is nothing that can change so quickly like Firmware release dates.

It was a little bit of a drama, but at the end of story, we might get our X-mas present right in time :-).
