New Fujifilm firmware updates that add REALA ACE and fix autofocus for the following Fujifilm cameras: X-T5, X-H2, X-H2s, X-S20, and X100VI. I go over the firmware updates for each camera. Get the firmware updates here: fujifilm-x.com...
How to install firmware updates: fujifilm-x.com...
Question: If I didn't get the last few updates, do I need to do that?
Answer: No. Just get the latest firmware update and that will bring your camera up to all the latest features, etc. No need to add the prior ones.

Good content but way too much a Fuji shill. The AF sucks. Really sucks. And he's never admitted it nor tested it. 40mp cameras have unbelievably high false positive rates in all modes. In AF-C taking moving images of cricketers / sports or even ducks in a lake cause absolute chaos. Fuji. Park your film sim junk to one side for a moment. Focus all software r&d into Autofocus. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHERS NEED! Canon, Nikon and Sony don't do film sims yet control 80% of the camera market!!!!

As a wildlife photographer, my heart skipped a beat. I am HYPED to try this out on my X-T5! UPDATE: Tested with the X-T5 and an electronically adapted Sigma 500mm F4 DG OS HSM lens. (notice, the HSM motors are prior gen to current linear ones). Everything shot at 7fps burst mechanical shutter, subject detection, AF-C, Auto ISO, manual shutter and aperture, zone focus, with custom AF-C setting, handheld with the aide of a monopod. I went out shooting birds in motion and sitting still, late afternoon until sunset, so lighting conditions were fair and leading into low-light later. During fair lighting, my keeper rater is now around 80-90% of my shots, from previously around 50% During low-light, the keeper rate is still around 60-70%, versus less than 30% prior. This is a night and day difference from the past, dare I say it is borderline on par with the likes of Sony, almost. The focus hunting and lock breathing is almost completely gone with good lighting, and this is with me testing on an adapted lens that has slower motors than newer actual Fujifilm counterparts and their LM technology, I'd say with those its going to be EVEN better!

@lionheart4424 Ай бұрын

I have not tried a lot for bird photography with my X-T5, lacking a 400mm or longer lens. Once you have tried the new AF please let us know how is the current keeper rate. I have confirmed that bird tracking has false positives two versions prior to the current FW.

I have the XF 200mm F2, 150-600mm F5.6 to F8 and an adapted Sigma 500mm F4, all of which I'll be trying out with this new AF update. I will preface that the previous update had already massively improved AF-C subject detection AF lock, especially for birds, and from that the keeper rate had already increased a decent amount, so I am very curious to see if it'll improve even more with this newest one.

Replaced both the 100/300 and the waterlogged X-H1 with with a new 100/300 and a new (*zero frames) X-H1 via Fujifilm's Pro Service. An awesome value for new gear that's better than buying unknown condition used stuff. If you have a portfolio on a website with a Fujifilm camera that's noted as your work camera, you are golden.

This update really seems to have helped my wildlife videography on the XH2s. Birds in flight are really locking AF now when flying in front of background clutter. Still the occasional lost focus, but I'd say it's 90% accurate now, rather than 40-50% before. So I might actually use AF mode for wildlife now. Yay! :)

I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the download page to see that 'fix on AF area for pupil detection' was on the list. Needless to say, I've updated my X-H2 and happen to have my kid's school sports day today, so it'll be a perfect test to see what improvements have been made.

Several users here and elsewhere have reported difficulty installing the update via the 'old' method of doing so--put file on card, update from card. I am one of them. Using the file from the Fuji download page, the camera sees it and declares that there is no update available. It also writes a .downloadcr extension to the file on the card. Never could get it to work, even removing the lens and trying just body only. What finally worked was the X App. I downloaded v4 through it to the phone, and then the phone to the camera. It takes forever at 104 MB, but it finally did the update.

Reala ACE is just a marketing trick to lure you into buying new camera (i.e. adding it on XT-5 but not on XT-3 or XT-4). You can get any film simulation you want with any Fuji camera in Lightroom, as long as you have LR version that already implements that given simulation. There's a simple and old procedure (requires file editing) to unlock film any Fuji simulation on any Fuji camera. Drawbacks: you have to shoot RAW (obviously - so that simulation is applied during RAW processing on computer, not in the JPG created directly by camera) and this procedure has to be re-implemented after each LR update (files get overwritten during upgrades).

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty wary of the idea that Reala Ace (and Nostalgic Negative) can't be included in cameras with X-trans IV. Computationally, are the new simulations so complex that the previous processor cannot handle them?... I am convinced that it is a completely viable update, and that if Fujifilm does not do it, at least for the moment, it is not for that reason. I can understand that (maybe) it is necessary to generate a different programming to achieve the same simulation using the previous processor, and that for now Fujifilm prefers not to invest in it. I can also understand that the brand considers that the most recent models must demonstrate that they have more advantages and options than the previous ones, and therefore it is only a commercial strategy. Maybe one day they will finally do it, as happened with other older models regarding other simulations released later, and to show again that even after so much time, they take care of their users (which is very good). Love your channel pal2tech 🥰

@rodneytopor1846 Ай бұрын

Nice. But many X-mount users who like wide format images are still hoping for a firmware update that provides a 65:24 (or similar) crop option such as GX-mount users have, so we can pretend we have Hasselblad X-Pan or Fujifilm T-X1/2 panoramic film cameras. With 40MP sensors, this is now practically useful. And I can't see why it should be difficult to implement in a firmware update.

If I recall, a lot of people complained that the previous firmware update for the XH2S (and possibly the XH2) made the eye/face autofocus worse than it was previously. I would hope that this latest firmware version doesn't just improve on the previous one, but on anything previous, especially since it is apparently almost impossible to go back to any earlier firmware versions at home.

I did the X-T5 latest firmware update, v4.0…. I went to an arboretum the other day to photograph flowers. I had the X-T5 in AF-S mode since I didn’t have a moving subject. The camera would not focus properly within the AF box. What the heck, the latest firmware update now has compromised shooting still photography. It’s the first time I’ve had a problem with the X-T5 having focusing issues in AF-S mode. These weren’t even “false positives” images. The camera’s autofocus wouldn’t even give me a green box AF confirmation when focusing on a single, subject flower. I noticed that my focusing box was placed directly on the flower while the camera focused on the background space. Recomposing the scene and half pressing the focusing/shutter release button did not help. I was well within the minimum focusing distance. It felt like the camera wasn’t even trying to acquire focus from the green focusing box. Soon after, my camera completely froze with a black out screen. I took out the battery to reset camera. Focusing seemed OK after that. I suspecting bugs in the new update.

@williambooth1253 Ай бұрын

Good news! I just took my camera to Venice Beach and did some street photography using the X-T5 in continuous auto focus mode at the skateboard park. The camera worked flawlessly with the tracking of the moving subject and acquiring focus quickly. I was impressed with the speed of the camera to re-acquire my subject even after the skateboarder left my field of view at the bottom of a pool and reappearing into the field of view back at the top of the pool lip. I need to examine the sharpness of focus within Capture One. I believe 1/1,800 of a second will be ample enough to handle the motion blur. Overall, I was highly impressed! I generally do more single shot auto focus with recomposing my scene with using focus lock.

I have the X-T4, it came at the end of that tech platform, it was never likely to get significant upgrades through firmware. You really can’t buy a camera on the hopes it’ll get better with firmware because there is no guarantee, you have to judge it on its capabilities and reviews at the time.

Well, in earlier days Fuji did exactly this! Shortly after they had launched the X-T4, they massively upgraded the autofocus of the day X-T3. That was one of the reasons to get a Fuji (X-T4). But since then it seems like they've abandoned the older cameras. And the customers with them. I'm disappointed 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@AwesomeSaussage because the X-T3 used the same sensor and processor as the X-T4, they merely back-ported the functionality from the newer camera. The key reasons for getting an X-T4 were if you wanted the articulating screen, IBIS, and the much improved larger battery.

I can constantly freeze up my T2 (and I think T3) by pressing the play button directly after taking a shot. No amount of waiting will resolve the writing function, and you can't do anything unless you pop the battery out. And I mean, pressing that button DIRECTLY instantly after taking the shot

I have been dealing with this issue for a long time now. Subject detection AI properly detects the object (animal's or human's eye etc.) and marks it green even though it only detected where the focus should be acquired but without acquiring actual focus. Hopefully it will now work better. I have also noticed that subject detection works significantly better in AF-C with Zone AF rather than with Wide/tracking.

5. A minor bug - on my X-T5 I had very randomly behaviour of the IBIS. With the 90mm F2 Only worked on continuous or off - on shooting mode, didn't do anything! With the 100-400 sometimes it worked when half pressed the shutter.. and suddenly gone! I would restart the camera and would not change the behaviour. After some good amount of photographs when I half pressed the shutter button, the IBIS locked again - no settings were changed! I tested it yesterday with both lenses plus the 33mm F1.4 and they all behave as supposed. IBIS continuous.. always stable. IBIS when shooting mode, halp pressed the shutter and the IBIS actuates and smooths everything! More minor stuff that is not so minor I still have to test. So far, much better. Green light confirmation (autofocus) a little slower but OK focus. Before.. more swift response, the camera recognized the subject / face / eye.. and then.. not in focus.

I'm new to Fuji and just purchased the X-T5. Trying to update via an SD card off my MAC just wouldn't work (.dat file on VLC software). I ended up upgrading via Bluetooth from the Fuji app, which was a breeze! Many thanks for this video and everything you do, especially for newbies like me.

I have the same computer running on Sonoma 14.5. Did your .dat file download on VLC?

@eddthirty4065 Ай бұрын

@@bevholbeche-eyre1093 What is VLC? I clicked on the firmware update and it downloaded at dat file, FWUP0030.DAT to be exact. I dragged it across to my SD card, popped the SD card to the X-T5 and initiated FW update, took a few minutes.

yea, wonder what VLC software is, never heard of it. I had no problem updating via an SD card on MAC.

Hello Chris, I'm owner of an XHS 2S for some of the Video Pro uses. I just updated the firmware to 7.0 and I am quite disappointed with the results for the AF update. In addition, this update caused new bugs for me, notably the LIVE VIew (the automatic switching of the LCD - EVF no longer works!). If the engineers who design the hardware at Fuji do a good job, on the other hand the computer developers who program the firmware and software are really bad. When will we finally have an efficient and reliable AF system, which does not also introduce new bugs for other functions? Is there a quality check before new firmware goes live at Fuji? This is no longer possible and it is not a professional attitude, they will lose market share to competing brands with such negligence. Chris thank you for your informative videos! Jean (from Belgium)

Two reasons the film simulations do not trickle down to the older bodies are: you want to reduce the used market from cannibalising the new body market; it costs money to modify and test new simulations on much older sensors, money you probably will not make back because the owners of the old bodies will have another reason to not upgrade, but they can still access the simulation through post.

Very good video, as always and nice to see your beautiful dog. But my autofocus on the X-T5 hasn't really gotten any better. I only use the camera in AF-C mode (children, family, dog + 16-55 f2.8). In particular, the eye autofocus is simply no longer reliable. Even with firmware 4.0, the focus is in many cases somewhere other than on the eye, even though the eye is recognized and a green box is there. It's even worse when I use a flash with manual settings for shutter speed/aperture/ISO. If I use the tracking field without eye autofocus, I always get good results. I also have the impression that it's better at low ISO (100-800) and good light, but why does a green box appear when the focus isn't right? Overall, I'm slowly becoming disappointed with the performance. The Fujifilm X series would otherwise be such a great system with such outstanding image quality.

Great tutorial! Can you persuade Fuji to fix another autofocus bug: X-T5… if you press the joystick it re-centres the focus area to the middle of the screen. Great. But this only works once you have lightly touched the shutter release first. If you turn the camera on and (without pressing the shutter release) try to re-centre the focus box by pressing the joystick it doesn’t work. Very annoying! Please have a word with Fuji

Thanks for the heads-up regarding the firmware update of the X-T5. I do have one questioin for you. How do you handle high humidly situations when shooting our doors? I reside in South Carolina and the humidity is off the charts during the summer months. With the X-T5 being weather proof, can I stop worrying about internal issues and merely tip away condensation on the lens? Thanks and I sincerely appreciate your efforts to air quality/informative programs.

I just updated my XT5. The camera was making a loud vibrating noise during the update….It was the lens. I had a TTArtisans 56/1.8 on . The XT5 Did not like that lens on the camera . Took it off. Noise stopped and firmware finished…..Strange…I think!

Most color precise is Pro Neg STD. Provia always renders skin with way too much magenta in tonality. :) Reala Ace is great balance between Pro Neg STD and Pro Neg High.
