X-Pro1 Firmware V2.0 Released

[Chris Dodkin]

Fuji have just released V2.0 Firmware for the X-Pro1, and for each of the three current lenses.

The new firmware provides an excellent AF upgrade with faster AF on all 3 lenses, as well as Auto ISO 6400 Mode.

Firmware for X-Pro1 | Fujifilm Global

You download 4 files in total from Fuji - body first, then each lens is updated via an SD card.

Take care on Mac that the file system does't rename files if they have the same names as existing files - renamed files will not be recognized by the X-Pro1.

Firmware update was easy, and the upgrade on the AF is fantastic - most welcome.

1. Improvement of Auto Focus Performance

(1)Auto focusing speed has become much faster under a various shooting condition such as dark scenes, bright scenes and so on.
(2)The shortest focusing distance without switching to macro mode has become shorter.

2.Improvement of Manual Focus Performance

(1)The speed of images coming into focus when turning the focus ring has become faster.
(2)When adjusting the focus with the EVF or the LCD, displaying live view with the minimum depth of field in full aperture has made it easier to focus on subjects.
(3)In addition to the focus checking with the 10-time magnification function, the checking with "3-time" magnification function has been added.

3. Improvement of Writing and Processing Speed

(1)Writing speed to a memory card has become faster with the maximum speed doubled.
<Note> The speed may vary depending on card type and sizes of images.
(2)The waiting time of viewing image after shooting has become shorter.
(3)An image will be displayed approx. one second after pressing the playback button.

4.Other improvements

(1)The ISO setting of "Auto (6400)" has been added.
(2)When EVF or OVF is used, the indicator lamp will turn off because the lamp comes to just in front of your right eye if you see the finder with your left eye.
(3)When shooting in low light situation, a recorded image will look like more natural atmosphere you saw.

when they said they were improving the autofocus they weren't kidding. holy crap the 60mm flies in my dark bedroom. manual focus isn't bad either, but it makes some odd chattering noises.
