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.

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?

Hi, I've been playing with the beta firmware on my X-T1 together with my XF50-140mm at my daughter's soccer tournament this weekend. 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!
 
If anybody are interrested, I have written about my findings in this blogpost:

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.

Updating should be the same - power on with Disp button pressed 

 

On another topic - anyone figured out how to play back video on the camera???

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

    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
    • I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
