New Firmware Updates Coming Soon (see X-T5 with Reala Ace) and New Surprise App Coming too

Share

What you can see above is the lovely Fujifilm X-T5 with Reala Ace on its Film Simulation menu.

And if you are looking on your X-T5 if it has that too, then do not waste your time.

Mere mortals like you and me, will have to wait a few more days for the Reala Ace firmware to come to X Processor 5 Fujifilm cameras.

The firmware should also fix the annoying autofocus bug we reported about.

One last thing: there should soon be also a new “surprise” App coming.

Fujifilm to Bring Back Color Film Production in China

Share

Fujifilm is said to resume negative color film production in Nanning, China.

The first films to go in production will be the Fujifilm C200 and Fujifilm C400 and made by Yes!Star, which is known for making medical film.

The news has been shared first on Chinese social media Xiaohongshu and also reported at kosmofoto.

Now, it’s nothing new that Fujifilm delegates the manufacturing of its film to other brands. The “new” Fujifilm 400 (made in USA) is also made by Kodak. Although in this case it looks like it’s more just a rebranded Kodak Ultramax 400.

I am not sure if all these moves by Fujifilm contribute to the health of film photography (delegate other companies to make film Fujifilm does not want to do anymore), or if they are just a way for Fujifilm to make a quick buck out of selling their iconic film stock brand names to third parties.

Share

For the next 20 dazes you save 20% on all DxO software!

It’s our 20th anniversary! 20% off everything for the next 20 days!
Dear photographer,

20 years ago in June, something remarkable happened: DxO Optics Pro version 1 was born. This was the predecessor of today’s DxO PhotoLab, built to give passionate photographers a completely new level of image quality.

Driven by a love for photography, our innovations have kept coming: image processing chips for smartphones, the DxOMark website (a global reference for image quality evaluation), the DxO ONE (a wonderful little connected camera), the revival of the Nik Collection, the creation of groundbreaking noise reduction technology, not to mention our range of unique software full of advanced features, and much more.

Discover the full story here.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we are delighted to give you 20% off all of our products for the next 20 days!

DxO has grown in popularity among Fujifilm shooters especially since they added support for X-Trans with their DeepPrime XD technology.

You know I am so far into Capture One as far as editing software goes, but I don’t really support the “changes” they made lately. And since I have the perpetual license of C1, it will no longer work once I upgrade my Mac to the latest operating system.

So I am forced to make the switch to other software sooner rather than later, or to stick with Capture One but go for the subscription model.

DxO is definitely an alternative I am looking into.

Fujifilm Says Firmware Autofocus Bug Fix and Reala Ace are Coming End of June

Share

Fujifilm USA manager Victor Ha was a guest at the latest Adorama live show.

When asked about the autofocus bug fix on a few Fujifilm cameras, the manager says first of all thanks to the Fujifilm community for reporting about it, but especially he says there will be a firmware fix coming on the end of June.

Also, the Fujifilm X-T5 & Co will finally get Reala Ace film simulation with this update on the end of June.

That’s in contrast to what Fujifilm China said, who announced the Reala Ace firmware coming in August.
