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.

    • I am very tired of Fuji as a whole... They automatically deny responsibility on issues, quote crazy high repair prices and timeframes and when I accepted a (refurbished" replacement 100-400 instead of a repair because to would be cheaper and faster it developed the exact problem a couple years later, My XT4 is absolutely unreliable because of the turn on turn off issue that has persisted through numerous attempts to fix it and my 10 to 24 would not focus at infinity and struggled to focus at all, and I went through two of them because of focus issues. My sigma is much better.

    • The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.
    • I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕  
    • Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don
