Fujifilm Patents Touch Sensitive Top LCD Panel

Fujifilm has patented a touch sensitive top LCD panel, that should avoid erroneous operation when turning the command dial.

As I have understood it works basically like this:

If your finger touches the top LCD panel, the command dial is activated and you can adjust your settings. If no finger is on the touch panel, then turning the dial won’t change anything.

This is supposed to help operation with smaller cameras featuring a top LCD panel.

Set your camera, and once your finger is on the shutter button, your settings won’t change if you accidentally hit the command dial.

Moreoever, the top LCD panel adjust the display depending if a finger is detected or not. There is also an option to display fake dials, more or less like we see today already on the Fujifilm GFX100.

These are patents, that may or may not see the light of the day.

But it’s concept Fujifilm is studying, and here on FujiRumors we are always happy to give Fujifilm some feedback :).

Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T4: How Should Fujifilm Time their Release? POLL

Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T4

A Fujifilm manager recently said it here: the Fujifilm X-H line will continue to evolve separately from the Fujifilm X-T line.

To me that makes sense, both lines appeal to different type of photographers, and both lines have all the potential to be successful in future.

But the big question is: in order for both the X-H2 and X-T4 to be successful, how should Fujifilm time their release?

The FujiRumors community is pretty split on this topic, so I thought I launch a poll to see what most of you guys think is strategically the best move. And keep in mind, as proven multiple times, Fujifilm manager do read you! So, vote wisely and comment elegantly ;).

NOTE: Fujifilm has said multiple times that one of their goals is to bring IBIS into smaller cameras, so I guess this means they will try to give us a Fuji X-T4 with IBIS. Keep this in mind when voting.
