A French FujiRumors readers spotted the Firmware 4.0 file on Facebook... and for the sake of science, I decided to update My Own X-T1 with Firmware 4.0 and test if it works :)

 

It's really late at night here, and I will do proper testings tomorrow (sometimes even FujiRumors has to sleep). But it's pretty nice to see how well it tracks my dog ;).

 

I'll share my findings about the FW in the next days in this thread... stay tuned :)

 

Although the file is circulating on facebook, I decided to remove it, since it's not the final version.

So far so good.  I really do like the new zone AF system. Feels more responsive.  I haven't had any major issues with is. I'm not sure if this is the way it's supposed to works but when face detection and eye detection are turned on, the back button focus does not work... 

 

I want the back button focus to be the only focus button, but in manual mode you lose zone and wide mode only single point works.

its ridiculous to remove the link.  This firmware will be in XT10 tomorrow.    I bet Fuji themselves release it tomorrow, it does not make sense that lesser camera comes out with Firmware and the owners of a superior camera have to wait for same thing for a week.

Here are my results so far.  I only have 3 Fuji X lenses currently.

 

35/1.4  the most dramatic change.   Lens just gets to focus without rocking back and forth.   Amazing for this lens.  All of the sudden it is like a different lens!!!

18-135.  I tried to lower the light in my bedroom and focus at tele end.  It is usually a slow lens to focus in low light.  Result - much quicker acquisition.   

56/1.2    seems to be no changes whatsoever with how that lens focused with previous firmware.

Went for a lunch walk, practiced with the 35mm 1.4 and 14mm 2.8

 

AF-C Wide Tracking is really amazing for tracking trams, cars, horses, etc. Spot on every frame with minimal effort.

 

The 3x3 zone AF-S focuses very quickly with the 35mm lens. This will probably be my default AF mode from now on.

I liked 5X3 zone AF-S in my short testing here.   Next test which will be the key one -  my 3 year old running!  That wont happen for few days though.....    If that 35 continue its crazy I might seriously consider selling my Sony A7 and 55 1.8 FE lens.

    • agreed on the upload but based on the location and number it sounds exactly like the storage slot 1 status icon
    • All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica). 
    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
