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

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
