Fujifilm Instax SQUARE SQ10 Firmware Update

Share

The Fujifilm Instax Square SQ10 just received the following firmware update.

Details of the upgrade – Ver2.0

  1. Add the “Part color” function
  2. Shorten the time from the start of autofocus to shooting (approx.30% faster).
  3. Edited images (such as Photoshop) can also be printed from ver. 2.0.
  4. Automatically switch from playback screen image mode to the shooting mode in a few seconds
  5. Add the function to delete the print history
  6. Display the Illustrations of auto printing setting when user switch on

The square format is putting Fujifilm in trouble right now, because Polaroid says its borders look essentially identical to the iconic design of the original Polaroid film. Read the full report here.

Fujinon XF80mmF2.8 Macro Now Shipping

Share

BHphoto is now shipping the Fujinon XF80mmF2.8 1:1 Macro.

The official shipping embargo is November 30, but I guess given the XF80 support firmware that has just been released for 11 Fuji X cameras, stores might have received permission from Fujifilm to ship it earlier than originally planed.

Thanks to the FR-readers for letting me know :)

Fujifilm X-T20 Firmware Postponed: “Update More Complicated Than Expected” says Fujifilm Netherlands

Share

As you know, Fujifilm announced that in late November, the Fujifilm X-T20 will get a firmware update, that will allow you to use the touch screen in EVF mode. In fact, the official Fuji news here still says it will be available in late November.

However, that might change soon.

FR-reader Özgür contacted Fujirumors (thanks), and told us that Fujifilm Netherlands informed him via facebook here the X-T20 firmware update has been postponed. They say (translated by a Dutch speaking FR-reader)

“The update appears to be more complicated that initially anticipated and has been temporarily delayed, however, it is sure that it will come. It is important, of course, that this update works well without problems or errors.”

FujiRumors already reported about some technical difficulties with the X-T20 firmware update a few weeks ago. Now, the X-T20 will continue to be covered with Kaizen love for as much as possible, but Fujifilm has to invest a considerable amount of time and money into proper coding.

I have asked Fujifilm Netherlands in the comments on facebook, if also the X-T2 firmware will be delayed, and they answered here:

“For as far as we know the date for the X-T2 FW update will remain the same“

And in the meantime, today 11 Fujifilm cameras got a firmware update. It only adds support for the upcoming XF80mm macro, but we explain here, why should update your camera anyway, even if you don’t plan to buy the XF80.

And again, here are all the download links for the 11 Fuji cameras

Fujifilm Releases Firmware Updates for 11 Fuji X Cameras

Share

11 Fujifilm X series cameras just got an update to support the Fujinon XF80mm 1:1 macro. The lens itself will be released on November 30

The compatibility is added with XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro. The accuracy of AF function is improved when the lens is attached.

Not included in the updates are the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T20 (which will get an update in “late November”), X-Pro2 (to be updated “late December”) and X-E3 (X-E3 Firmware Rumors here).

FUJIRUMORS RECOMMENDS: update your camera in any case, even if you do not plan to get the XF80mm. Fujifilm often implements “undocumented fixes“, which can be as small as a typo in the menu, but also more significant bug fixes and improvements.

Automatically Convert RAF to DNG in CaptureOne :: Luminar 2018 First Looks :: Lightroom Vs. Photo Mechanic & More (X-Trans Zone)

I have received some emails, asking me if I ever heard of RAW Power. Sure I have :). Actually FujiRumors was the first site to report about it 10 months ago here. I included it also in my 10 Lightroom alternatives article lately. So at least for regular FR readers, it’s old news.

What nobody told you until now is that you should keep in mind RAW Power uses the Apple RAW engine, which so far, to my knowledge, does not support Fujifilm compressed RAW files. This could be a dealbreaker for many out there, who like to shoot lossless compressed.

With that said, let’s jump over to today’s X-Trans conversion roundup… hope you can find something useful for you :)
