What is the normal timeline for Fuji to release bugfixes? This bug is holding me back investing in Fuji, since I use zone focusing, and manual settings a lot. For the last couple of months I have borrowed a x-pro2 from a friend, and like it. But a bug like this should be fixed very soon. Even that you can overcome it only using evf.

I reported it to Fuji Japan last week. No reaction so far, which seems a little strange as they were very good about firmware issues in the past.

I agree, it is still a problem and I cannot believe it hasn't been fixed. This is something that ANY camera should be able to do, and it should have been corrected much sooner than this. Makes me wonder if it will ever even be fixed. 

 

I've called many times, and done my work to report it and make it known. I however, have not gotten any answer back from Fuji myself.

I reset my Pro2. No change!

 

No it won't since it is a software bug introduced in firmware 3.0 and later. A reset will not help. 

 

In general I believe there is a problem with the x-pro2 in manual focus mode. Beside the problem mentioned here, with the moving focusing when pressing the shutter button, I have a lot of times where the shutter does not release when you press the shutter button. Then I have to wait a short second and press the button again to actually take the image. I have lost a lot of shots because of this. It only happens when you set the camera to manual focus. I believe it has something to do with the electronic focus ring, and the communication between the body and lens. But I don't know... Am I the only one who experience this?

Now there is a fix. Firmware 3.11.

Hopefully this will help. I currently don't have a card reader, and the dat file won't copy to my x-pro2 via USB from Windows 10. Don't know why? So hopefully someone can confirm that it fixes the problem. Otherwise I will try tomorrow when I am back home....

The firmware update Ver.3.11 from Ver.3.10 incorporates the following issues:

  • 1.The phenomenon is fixed that in the MF mode, repeated halfway shutter pressing can shift the focus point under a specific exposure condition.
  • 2. The phenomenon is fixed that in the MF and OVF modes, repeated halfway shutter pressing can shift the focus.
  •  

Firmware 3.11, released today (08 Aug 2017).

 

I tested with XF 23mm f/2 R WR and confirmed NO ISSUE anymore.

Does the fix include anything else?

No, it is a minor fix from version 3.10 to  3.11, with only this fix, mentioned in this thread.

 

I installed it also, and can confirm that it now works.

      ISO and exposure dial’s misbehaving. Need help

      By Michaelb5 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help.

      Remote Release suddenly stopped working

      By FSND · Posted

      I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?

      OVF magnification

      By Rich Martin · Posted

      On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
