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

[Patrick FR]

I have another X-T1 coming early next week, so I'll have an old firmware to compare to the new, that should be interesting!

Looking forward to your comparison

[johndill]

Well the multiple focus points work really well !

[kim]

Low light AF is also better, locking quickly on at F2.8 ISO 6400 1/20 with the XF16-55 F2.8WR

 

Still don't think it's any faster to lock on then before FW4 but it is much better in lower light. Perhaps someone who has two X-T1's can test this to satisfy those who need to know. 

Tracking is very fast and mostly accurate[ish] - might have been me not use to it yet - but I am comparing it to a 5D3 so probably a bit unfair. I'll test it out on some lycra louts tomorrow morning. I've found no bugs yet.

The 35mm does not pulse back and force anymore it just locks on!! amazing!!  The 23mm and 56mm are just as good as before. 

 

Seriously? That would be awesome. I love the way the 35mm looks but the slowness of it all...

[Tommyudo]

If someone would PM me a working link to the beta firmware I'd appreciate it!

 

Thanks,

 

Tom

[Tommyudo]

Thanks to those kind folks who sent me a copy!

Cheers,

This Chinese forum - http://forum.xitek.com/thread-1454990-1-1-1.html - has a working link to the file.

Just tested the new firmware and over all I'm pretty impressed. It turned my formerly pokey Zeiss 50mm macro into a speed demon.

 

Cheers!

Just finished doing some quick tests with various lenses (10-24, 14, 23, 27, 35, Zeiss 50, 55-200 and 56) and I'm  . However, I did come across a lighting situation where the camera struggled to focus with the 56mm. Below is an image of a djembe drum (situated 4' from where I snapped the shot) that gave the 56mm fits. But on the next image of the paint cans (about 14' away) the AF snapped into focus almost instantaneously. Seems like surface brightness is effecting phase detection.

 

 

Cheers!

Anyone can mail me the file? Curious as a monkey!!

[gavingoh7]

Focus finally can said.. Awesome    

But anyone, your machine easy temperature? Mine happened that during ytd test

[CM Works]

Also have to remember that the lens may update too

Seems to no longer pulse (mostly) if you use any of center 3x3 AF points.

Hi all, one question to the ones who has tested the firmware, is it present the feature that expands the T setting on the shutter dial to cover the full range of available shutter speeds (30s – 1/32000s)?

Thanks in advance,

Mguel

[rollypolly]

Here are the ranges for the various shutter modes in the T setting:

 

ES - 1" to 1/32000

MS - 30" to 1/4000

ES+MS - 30" to 1/32000

 

AE bracketing still +/- 1 EV  . Someone at Fuji must hate HDR...

 

Cheers!

I am new to this forum, but would anyone be willing to share?! 

Thanks!

Thanks Rolly!!!!!!, really great news for me. I like to shoot manual, and the top dial is not as handy as use the front/thumb command dial to change settings without taking the eyes off the viewfinder, even more critical when using the battery grip.

 

and yeah, unbelievable the bracketing castration on Fuji... similar to not using face detection AF when using the back button focus on first firmwares.

[reon]

AF-L and AE-L is functioning properly?

[adl]

Can someone please email me the new FW?

I tried on the pposted links but they are not working due to high traffic.

 

Thanks in advance

Surely they fixed this and just forgot to list it with the other updates.

[windandoak]

Can someone share with me too?

[windandoak]

Thanks to all who shared with me. Fw installed! Tested 14mm in very dim lighting and focus was lightening fast! Used the 3x3 zone focus. Can't wait to try the 23, 56 and 18-135 tomorrow morning! This doesn't seem like a beta to me. Even the framing lines are thinner as stated. Looks legit. 

[windandoak]

Just one more thing, I used to use single point AF exclusively, but I must say this new zone focusing is much faster and very accurate. Better than some of the dslrs that I've used. Most of the time I avoid it because it usually locks on random things that I don't want. This seems a lot smarter. I think this is a huge win for Fuji. I wonder if it's faster than the new sony a7rii. I would certainly want to see that test comparison.

Just finished doing some quick tests with various lenses (...55-200....) 

 

 

so what about 55-200mm. Faster?
