If you install the Beta version 4.0 can you over write the new FW when it comes out?

I think this "beta" is the official fw 4.0 but the Fuji does not want to release it officially yet... the X-T10 (sales) need a bit "uniqueness". 

The X-T1 users will be receive soon but the X-T1 is still the best sales Fuji X body... with or without FW 4.0. The X-T10 needs a little marketing.

 

I saved the "beta" 4.0, will save the "final" 4.0 and I will generate md5 to both (as soon the Fuji release the 4.0). If the checksum is identical the firmware is identical.

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“   Andreas

F4 had to be announced before the X-T10 to avoid a shitstorm of epic proportions. Fuji knows very well that many of their customers are quite unreasonable and complain about everything, not only the w

Face detection does recognize my cat's face, does not my own face :angry: ............. :D

I've been away from home on business for 10 wks, I hope my cat has face recognition installed...!!!

 

Jokes aside, I've had mixed results with face recognition on the current FW, so I look firward to trying the official release when it finally becomes officially released!

 

You brave testers have made it seem well worth the wait!

To Fujifilm... little improvement proposal

 

It took us a long time to get rid of the term "silent mode" - which disabled also flash - but we are still getting a, in my eyes, potenially confusional formualtion "Sound and Flash OFF"

 

So, when you have "Sound and Flash OFF" turned to "OFF", sound & flahs are actually ON

When you have "Sound and Flash OFF" turned to "ON", then it's OFF.

 

Why not simply call it "Sound & Flash" and then you turn in ON or OFF, how you prefer?

 

Does it make sense for you?

I also stumbled into a local MTB race when I was picking up my second daughter at a band camp yesterday and got to shoot some of the racers. I'm very impressed with this upgrade. AF-C and Zone focus are working great!

Wow, can't wait for the update, and the 50-140 I'm hoping to get ... Nice write-up and pics.

That's not quite right... if the checksums are different then the files are different, but if the checksums are the same then the files are not necessarily the same.

 

You should just compare the files...

Thank you :) . Can't blame the gear for not getting the shot anymore...
 

 

I'm also curious if Fujifilm will launch firmware updates for some of the lenses on the 29th aswell. I wish for faster low light focus with my 56mm which struggles a bit under some lighting conditions... Fingers crossed.

ES is not indicated for moving subject... you'll get distorted images. So Tracking works with MS only

Patrick thank you very much.  went to the park with my 3 year old today.   He was running and I changed my XT1 with same 56/1.2 to MS only.   Every shot in focus at 1.2!!!!   He was running, and everyrthing was in focus!  MS only, no Face Recog, CH.   The only thing is Continuous High is rated at 8FPS, but I was not getting 8FPs clearly, even though my shutter speed was close to 1/4000....  I was getting at most 4-5fps (more like 4) but all in focus, camera took time focusing between shots with that 56/1.2 which is not the fastest focusing lens.  But I was getting everything in focus, so thanks again.  I was using 5X3 boxes which I think is the largest Fuji allows you in accordance with their new Firmware 4.0 AF chart for continuous AF

I have the leaked firmware and used it at a sports event. very impressed, however found that the tracking and eyetracking doesn't work together - once you lock on the tracked object the detection box doesn't track with it....

 

Face Recognition on a Fuji does not work in Continuous AF mode.   That's a Fuji thing.   Works fine in all the m43 and Sonys.

it used to be press play and then down button, now there is no option to playback...

Mine is down button once you're in playback mode.

Oh boy.  I hope this delay doesn't go past 6/29.  I wanted to use the X-T1 to photograph my grandsons' birthday party instead of my D800

 I just did a test with the 50-140 trying to track birds in flight; result is not very good compared to my D810, but this is a very hard test and probably I'm still not used to this new AF system as for the D810

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      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

      Thank you. I will research it.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
