Fujifilm has released new firmware updates fixing bug issues and improving operational stability in five models across its catalog of retro cameras and medium format cameras.
The bodies benefiting from the update are the Fujifilm X-T4, X-T3, X-S10, X-T30 II, and GFX 50S II. The updates are slightly different but each is centered around fixing recurring bug issues instead of adding new features – not the expected Kaizen update we were promised at the most recent X-Summit.
The firmware notes can be found below along with the corresponding download links:
• A firmware bug is fixed in that the exposure of the preview image and the recorded image are different from each other when shooting manually with the XF50mmF1.0 R WR, which has a bright aperture F value.
• A firmware bug is fixed in that the images taken were not saved to the memory card in the camera in case the image transfer setting to "Fujifilm XApp" or "Fujifilm Camera Remote" is set to "Auto Image Transfer Order".

All firmware updates are important, even if they only address minor bug fixes, but Fujifilm users will be eagerly awaiting a larger update scheduled for later this year.
During the Fujifilm X-summit, Fujifilm announced a Kaizen update that will see a more significant firmware released for the most recent models of mirrorless cameras. According to Fuji Rumors, this will include improvements to tracking performance accuracy and subject detection, and add a new film simulation. But users will have to wait a little longer for that update…
