X-T1 FW 4.0 BETA: I have it and share my findings soon ;)

[gavingoh7]

Can anyone share it?

[drb]

Link please

[drb]

Does it improve 14mm f2.8 focus also?

[rjmvandermeulen]

I want the link to the file........

[keoniahlo]

Why is the link such a secret??? Or maybe this is a publicity stunt? If it is, it's working LOL!

[andrewlee]

My findings:

 

Tested with 35mm 1.4 @ 1.4

 

AFC works! It never worked for me before the update. Even for relatively static subjects. But now its great! Way more accurate. I can finally use AFC.

 

Eye detection didn't work so well. But my lounge is dimly lit so that could be why.

 

Overall it seems faster! I took a whole bunch of pics and they seemed to write to the card faster?? Usually my camera would blink for ages if I did that. Also reviewing pictures seems to be a bit faster.

 

The new zone af feature is nifty. Works well. I prefer the accuracy of the single af point though.

 

Overall awesome update. More testing for me now.

Hello,

 

Is there any kind soul can send me the link to the file in private, please?

 

I'm getting sick to read you. I want to try the miracle in my 35mm f1.4

 

Thanks a lot

Sorry, I had to delete this link - for several reasons:

• We don't know this software - can be a virus too
• If it's Fuji firmware, we don't know what status it has (final / beta / alpha)
• Depending on the status a buggy firmware can harm your hardware too

Muchísimas gracias, luismanibarro 

[actupsp]

hi, is it possible to have the link please ?

many thanks and good job to fuji

 

 

edit; thanks for the dropbox

[keoniahlo]

Thank you, Luismanibarro!

I am curious if AFS mode gets any better. And while in AFC mode with tracking, Eye Detection and every other improvements, how much additional stress gets on the battery autonomy?

[chaosboi]

Am I paranoid to think maybe the 'leaked' firmware is a beta? Or something else maybe wrong with it? Can you downgrade back if something isn't right with the linked firmware?

Just read in another forum that apparently this is a beta. I think best leave it alone till it appears officially. (Very tempting though)

if this firmware is a beta, when the official firwmare done, can we upgrade it over the beta ? or not ?

 

thanks

[Hans K Aspenberg]

@actupsp Hard to tell. You should try ...

 

;-D Hans

[Sakini]

It would be the best to wait for more testers, the official release is very near. I will see what Patrick will find out, before I try this. But I think that when the official fw comes it can be installed - the fw from this link looks exact like the last official one, and is also named FWUP0005.

Good question - I don't know.

I saw no evidence in the installation procedure that shows this is a beta version. It states v. 4.0. Period.

Wait, my camera's just exploded         

The best review is the one you do.

[drb]

It is not beta. It was ready for 18/6.

 

It was announced for 18/6 initially and delayed because it would impact x-t10 sales which already has the new firmware. Either way, thank you Fuji for the support of the xt1!

Actually I downloaded it from Fujistas also, if anybody doubted, I've just pasted the link I found there.

[nar53]

Thanks for the link  luismanibarro. Not sure I'll install it though. Only got my T1 yesterday & still finding my way around it at the mo. Big step up from my E1 though.

[FearTheXNoob]

Did anyone try its effect on the 16-55 yet?

[Sakini]

I will, when I find the courage to install it :-)

No problem, I'm sure you wanted the best for the community - thanks for that!

 

Sorry if I'm a little bit paranoid, but I'd like to avoid a shitstorm „Fuji X Forum spreads virus“
