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

by Leave a Comment

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.

Fujifilm rumoured to be announcing the X-T30 II (?) and GFX50S II on September 2nd

by 1 Comment

Well, this is an odd one. Rather than making the Fujifilm X-T30 successor the X-T40, as logical numbering would dictate given Fujifilm’s history, they’re apparently going to be calling it the X-T30 II, according to a report on Fuji Rumors. There aren’t many details on this at all, really, or any, but it’s expected to be announced on September 2nd, alongside the much anticipated Fujifilm GFX50S II.

Exactly what the two cameras will bring to the table over their predecessors is unknown, but knowing Fuji, it’ll probably be something pretty awesome. Then a few weeks after the pre-orders open up, they’ll announce firmware for the old ones to bring them close to the spec of the new ones.

Fujifilm X-T20 Vs X-T30 and why you should still buy the X-T20

by 1 Comment

Not too long ago I wrote an article on why I think the Fujifilm X-T20 is still the camera I recommend in 2021. It had great response, but some people thought the X-T30 was clearly the superior camera. In this article we’ll look at the positive and negatives of each camera.

Fuji’s new X-T30 shoots stills up to 20 frames per second and 10-bit 4K DCI video

by Leave a Comment

The Canon EOS RP isn’t the only new camera being announced today. The hotly anticipated (and much rumoured) Fujifilm X-T30 is now officially here. It sees some rather nice upgrades over the previous generation X-T20 announced back in January 2017. It maintains the same size 1.5x crop APS-C CMOS X-Trans sensor, but with a bump from 24.3 to 26.1-megapixels.

The X-T30 sees some new shooting aspect ratios, along with slight increase in video shooting resolution, offering 4K DCI. The autofocus system also gets a boost, going from 91 Hybrid AF points in the X-T20 to 425 phase detection AF points in the X-T30. And when it comes to stills shooting speed, that’s increased from an already impressive 14fps up to 20fps.
