How about +/- 3 stop auto bracketing?  Seriously, I don't see how that could require any more than 5 minutes worth of programming time by their software developers!

I only miss individual longest shutterspeed with Auto-ISO depending the focal length of the lens.

I wouldn't mind seeing a more specific B&W film stock, too. Even punching up the contrast a bit, I find the Monochrome a bit flat and awkward. I'd love to see something like Tri-X.

 

Last for me, I wish you could choose to make the AF-L/Instant AF button work like the AF-On that DSLRs have. AF-S is fine as is, but I don't like how with AF-C, you have to use the shutter button for continuous focus. I find I can't shoot and keep focusing, I have to pick my finger up and re initiate focus. With back button AF, you can keep focusing and shoot when you want.

+1 to this, I would love the ability to do 5 or 9 +/- 1 Stop increment brackets. As much as I can get around this using the Exp Comp dial I would rather not have to.

+1 - using this way of back focusing (on a nikon D750) is SO convenient !

Honestly I am loving the camera, I can't really think of anything major that can be done by firmware unless I am wrong. The only two things I can think of are.

 

1) Better video - I have been led to understand by people far more knowledgable than me that the video issues are related to sensor/processor combo, so unlikely to be resolved by firmware. However if Fuji have found a way to improve this, maybe up bitrate or remove some of the moire that would be awesome but I am not holding my breath.

2) Improve battery life. Lot of features added recently in Firmware v4 that suck battery life, a release that was more efficient in terms of power consumption would be very welcome.

well, since the firmware update 4.0, the one that was announced long before it became available and the one which made people salivate for days and days before it finally arrived turned out to be a little less spectacular than we were given the impression that it was going to be, this other one will probably be just some minor correction here and there.

 

I am not going to be holding my breath about it and this time I will even wait before installing it, just in case it add more problems than it solves.

+1 for HSS (i don't know if it's possible). Or make some change so we can use third party (HSS compatible) wireless triggers.

Hi

 

I agree with all the things above.

 

I'll suggest also:

 

1) a choice whether delete raw+jpeg or only raw (in case of lack of space)

 

2) a quicker way to link the phone via wifi

 

3) a consolidated pdf user manual with all the (wellcomed!) past and (more wellcomed!!) future updates

 

4) in the already perfect raw conversion function:

 

  4.1) the option/case to retain the last options selected to process a new jpeg (then easily overrided by 'reflect shoot condition' if not needed); for istance, because of I'm a newbie, quite often I change film simulations and other parameters (sharpness, highlight and shadow tone, etc) to make a new different jpeg; then I'd like to see, ceteris paribus, what happens with another film simulation (for example or whatever parameter). Now I've to re-change all the other option to do this (and remember them during the process...).

 

  4.2) once the new jpeg is created, before to save it, the option to use focus assist to magnify it to better decide on saving it or not.

That's the number 1 thing i want!  AF-L be independent from the shutter button. 

 

And better battery indicator

This plus better bracketing and I will be a happy camper. I think both can be achieved with the current hardware and the software changes wouldn't be too deep either.

 

HSS and wireless TTL would be nice but I don't know if the current hardware can support it.

      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.

      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.

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.
