Fujifilm X-T3

Fuji shooters: Do not use the app to update your camera’s firmware or it could freeze your camera

It seems that Fuji is having a bit of an issue with firmware updates through the Camera Remote app on either a smartphone or tablet, according to an announcement put out by the company. It doesn’t seem to affect every camera, although, with some, the camera freezes after installing the firmware update from the app. It’s expected to be updated and fixed in the next few days, but for now, if you own the Fuji X-T30, X-T30 II, X-S10, X-T3, X-T4 or X-T5, you’ll want to avoid updating the firmware through the app for now.

This doesn’t mean you can’t update your firmware, however. Fujifilm has made the firmware updates available for download so that you can still update from your SD card. Fujifilm says that the freezing issue does not occur when using the SD card.

Shooting street photography in Ethiopia with the Fujifilm X-T3

Africa has been on my radar for a while. Having shot around Europe, India and South America, I was up for a completely new challenge, and also for exploring a continent that in many ways was different to anywhere I’d experienced. I knew it wouldn’t be easy – I’ve heard stories from fellow photographers on how certain African countries weren’t the most camera-friendly of places, and Ethiopia was one of them. In spite of this, I still wasn’t fully prepared for the intensely challenging experience I was about to embark on.

Fuji finally fixes the 4GB video clip limit in the X-T3 with new Firmware 2.10

One of the things that many video shooters will be very familiar with is the 4GB file size limit in place on many cameras. This is due to the limitations of the file systems used within most cameras. Many get around the issue by splitting long clips up into smaller files, with each seamlessly carrying on from where the last one ended. But it’s a lot less hassle if each clip is in its own individual file, isn’t it?

Well, the firmware update that Fujifilm X-T3 video shooters have been waiting for to solve this issue, first shown off back in November, is finally here.

The ultimate Fujifilm X-T3 disassembly and teardown

You might have thought the Fujifilm X-T series was finished with the release of the X-H1, that Fujifilm was digging into the competition and leaving their love of style behind as was evident with that monstrosity. (We mean that lovingly.) But, the X-T3 is here, and it’s as beautiful as ever. Not only that, but the X-T3 even outperforms the X-H1 in many areas as far as their spec sheets are concerned. Fujifilm’s approach to the mirrorless camera war of 2018-20?? is a two-pronged assault on the flanks. They’re releasing powerful cameras with APS-C and medium format sensors in multiple iterations while skipping full-frame entirely. Fuji’s alternative strategy is a very interesting pincer attack on the market, and we definitely shouldn’t count them out just because they’ve officially rejected full-frame.

The AF features of Fujifilm X-T3 are pretty impressive, judging from the tests so far. But it doesn’t only work well with native lenses: the X-T3 nails focus even with a 600mm lens paired with a Fringer adapter. In this video from Fringer, check out how well the Fujifilm XT-3 performs even with a non-native, adapted telephoto lens.

Many photographers are thinking whether to switch systems or gear brands, and it’s a kind of a big decision to make. In this video, Mark Denney discusses three very important things to consider before you make the final decision. Because, when you take everything into consideration – you may not need to buy the new gear after all.
