Update firmware for both body and lens?

Hey all,

 

New here.

 

So, I have a used X-T10 that I just bought. I was looking to update the firmware, but I think I already have the latest (body: 1.21,  lens 3.12).

 

What's got me confused, however, is that the body firmware page says that the lens should be updated as well, but the link for it takes me right to the body firmware update (I have no way, therefore, to verify if 3.12 is the latest). So my question is, are there two firmwares for this camera or just one? Does the main body firmware update the lens as well?

 

Thanks,

As you'd originally thought, bodies and lenses have different firmware and need to be updated separately. To be on the safe side, make sure the body is up-to-date before updating the lens. It should work the other way around, but there have been a couple of unpleasant incidents with certain camera/firmware/lens combinations when the camera wasn't updated first.

 

Here's the page with all of the updates. Scroll down past the cameras to get to the lenses:
http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/fw_table.html

 

As you said, the latest X-T10 firmware is 1.21, which you already have. You didn't say which lens you have, but the only lens with firmware at 3.12 or above is the 18-55, and its current firmware is 3.21.

 

So all you'd need to do is update the lens. Unless you typo'd the version number, and you've really got 3.21 already.

 

Note: Fujifilm's firmware update process will only apply newer updates. It will simply ignore update files for the version that's already installed, and for earlier versions. So there's no way to accidentally (or intentionally) set things back to an earlier version.

To continue here...

 

I downloaded the new firmware for the lens, but I can't get it copied over to the camere; the Paste option isn't available, only View, Sort By, Group By, etc.

 

The card's been formatted (Scandisk SDHC, 32GB) and I can see the card in Windows, but I just can't copy the firmware to it.

 

It can't be, can it, that I have to have a card reader? I sure hope not!

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

I built my own system, and it's a good system, but no card reader came on the box. Further, didn't have to worry about this with my Nikon D3200, if I recall correctly. Either way, I got a card reader - $18.89 at Walmart, which was a wrong price; the online price is half that! Three trips to Walmart today...hip, hip...hurrah!

 

Thanks again.

      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.

      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

      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.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
