I haven't seen any reviews/impressions of firmware 5.00 for the X-T1.

I have updated, and generally happy about the new flash menus, but overall it was an underwhelming FW update this time around.

However, I have several questions while I ponder updating/supplying my EF-42 flash:

 

  • Does HSS still work with the Nissin i40 ?
  • With/without a Nissin firmware upgrade ?
  • Anything non-flash related improvements included with the upgrade?

This might be determined by the fact that few people (only flash users) have bothered to install this upgrade which, per Fuji info,:” Compatibility with the Shoe Mount Flash EF-X500"

 

contains only Flash related matters.

 

Many users, like me, don’t really do any flash photography and for us, this upgrade was totally irrelevant.

Hi,

 

I'm with Milandro on this - although the added features can never really be moaned about as I'm sure I'll use them in the future, (especially the manual control of down to 1/64 power) what I was REALLY hoping for was increased latitude in  exposure bracketing mode.

 

Limiting the only option to a max of  + / - 1 stop on a 3 stop bracket is keeping the X-T1 miles behind other competing cameras still, even when it is widely criticised as such. I know there are easy steps to manually create the 3, 5 or 7 shot brackets I'd like to work with using exp. comp. but to have the camera bracket quickly and in succession would be ideal (and only up to par really). 

 

Whilst on a mini rant about this, I'd also add that if Fuji were to eventually get round to adding this, they should also add the options of which exposure order sequence is to be shot. e.g -2 stops, 0 stops, +2 stops being preferred to the usual order.

Hello,

 

Since the firmware version 5.0 was updated for the Fujifilm X-T1, it seems that the front command dial no longer works.

In two cases (1 and 2) . It was not the case in ver 4.31

Two cases in which the front command dial is now inactive:

- 1) When you want to change the option for an item in a sub-menu: for example, it is impossible to vary -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 for noise reduction.
-2) When using the Q Menu

 

Could you say if you noticed it, please ?

Or are you left in version 4.31 and have you this problem or not?

 

Regards

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By PoorAlchemist · Posted

      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 😕

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      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

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
