Heads up if you download and update the 1.12 firmware update to your XC 16-50 OIS II lens.

The download is not the firmware .DAT file that you normally copy directly to memory card for the update process. The file you download is a .ZIP file containing a sub-folder which in turn contains two .DAT files. The files are named XFUP0022.DAT and XFUP0030.DAT. XFUP0030.DAT is the one that works. Copy that file to your memory card and proceed per Fujifilm's instructions.   

I updated three lenses: XF 18-55, XC 16-50 OIS II, and XC 50-230 OIS II. I didn't see any difference in the XF 18-55. The XC 16-50 seems to focus faster and quieter at distance; it hiccups to focus up close, which it always did. The XC 50-230 continues to impress me as my favorite lens for every reason you can name. After the firmware update, it seems faster and quieter to focus.

This could be my imagination too, since Fujifilm says these are minor bug fixes. In any event, at least two of the three lenses I updated give me the perception of improved performance. Thank you, Fujifilm.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By Tvir · Posted

      True. For me the problem is that it is quite difficult to infer from EVF what the outcome will be. Of course, you can get some impression as to how the scene will be exposed, and then you can adjust the settings (exposure). To me, you need to make several different exposures in certain situations, as you cannot, however, determine correctly the one by just looking at EVF. I find this laborious for some holiday pictures etc... The "important" pictures I always take in Raw. I din't find this problem with my Nikon D7100. So I have needed to adapt to this new situation. 😃

      Settings for sunsets?

      By iplayitofflegit · Posted

      I only started at 400 ISO to trigger the dynamic range setting on the X-H2 and agree higher ISO will be good for capturing crisp waves I depend on exposure compensation a lot too. For sunsets at the beach, I usually shoot them on a tripod, rarely handheld. At higher ISO, the noise can be considerable when rescuing shadows so I will probably only go up to ~1200.  The closed aperture is to control the amount of light from shooting direct in the sun and create a wide depth of field, but I also agree, dialing back to f/11 or f/8 could work when the sun is very low on the horizon.  I spot meter on the sun, then dial in the exposure compensation to bring up the shadows. Maybe this isn't a good approach, but it seems to work. I think I just need to be more aggressive with the exposure compensation and see what happens. I may have a chance tonight at a different location on the coast and will post my findings. Thanks for the advice.

      having trouble with XApp

      I recently updated my Pixel 6 to a Pixel 10. Now no more connection issues. I'll never know why. Both phones were running Android 16.

      having trouble with XApp

      It's similar to what happens to my XT-5 and Oneplus phone. For those of us with OnePlus/Oppo phones we get told the connection has been lost. So it might be another aspect of the problem, though so far at least it has looked like Samsung and Google phones were working OK. Judging by the number of people who have problems after firmware updates, I find it difficult to understand why Fuji can't make it possible to downgrade. At least then you could back out of something nasty.  Good luck.

      EVF on XPro2 dimly lit.

      By garyfallon · Posted

      Well I have seemed to found the solution. SetUp-Screen setup-EVF Brightness-Auto/Manual. It was set on auto. However, when I choose "manual" and tried to make an adjustment is said "check the finder." While this did not allow me make any adjustments the EVF was substantially brighter. Problem solved. I wish to thank all the help I gave to myself concerning this matter. 🙄 (Actually I just got lucky before someone pointed all this out.)
