Download Firmware Fujifilm FinePix X-T1 3.00
Fujifilm has released new firmware for its FinePix X-T1. This high-end system camera has an X-Trans cmos II image sensor with 16 megapixels, an EXR II processor, has Wi-Fi on board and can shoot full HD video. The update, which has been given version number 3.00, contains a large number of new functions. However, some of them only apply to the Graphite Silver Edition. The release notes for this release can be found below.
Detail of the update
The firmware update Ver. 3.00 from Ver.1.10 (X-T1) / 2.00 (X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition) incorporates the following issues (X-T1 / X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition):
- High-speed electronic shutter with a maximum speed of 1/32000sec. (This function is incorporated in X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition.) The FUJINON XF Lens series lineup includes a number of fast fixed focal length lenses which boast very high sharpness with the aperture wide open, producing excellent out of focus “bokeh”. However, fast apertures are difficult to use if the light is too bright, so to ensure users can create shallow depth-of-field effects, the camera is now equipped with a fully electronic shutter offering a maximum shutter speed of 1/32000sec. The mechanical shutter will not operate at all when any speed for the electronic shutter is selected, which also delivers a completely silent shooting experience; perfect for shots of sleeping children, pets, weddings, and more. In addition, it is possible to set the electronic shutter in 1/3 steps from a range of 1sec to 1/32000sec.
[How to set]
Select “ELECTRONIC SHUTTER” or “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” or the new “SHUTTER TYPE” option in the shooting menu.
Shutter speeds faster than 1/4000 sec can be chosen by rotating the shutter speed dial to 4000 and then rotating the command dial.*Some functions are restricted when the”ELECTRONIC SHUTTER” or “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” is selected.
- The shutter speed and sensitivity are restricted to values of 1/32000-1 sec and ISO 6400-200 respectively.
- Regardless of the option selected, the mechanical shutter is used for motion panoramas.
- In the burst mode, focus and exposure are fixed at the values for the first shot in each burst.
- In the range where the electronic shutter works, the long exposure noise reduction doesn’t work.
- In the range where the electronic shutter works, the FLASH MODE is fixed to the “SUPPRESSED FLASH”.
(In X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition, the flash is suppressed if “MECHANICAL+ELECTRONIC” is selected. With this upgraded firmware, the flash can be used when the mechanical shutter works.)
*Notice when using the electronic shutter.
- Distortion may be visible in shots or moving subjects.
- Band-like unevenness may occur in shots taken under fluorescent lights, other flickering or erratic illumination.
- Shutter Sound
The shutter sound can be muted if desired. (This function is incorporated into X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition.)
[How to set]
Select the new “SHUTTER SOUND” and “SHUTTER VOLUME” options in the setup menu to choose the type and volume of the sound made when the shutter is released.*Note
- When taking pictures with the shutter muted, respect your subjects’ image rights and right to privacy.
- Classic Chrome Film Simulation mode brings more creative power to the X Series
(This function is incorporated into X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition.)
The X Series’ Film Simulation modes represent Fujifilm’s wealth of experience in color reproduction technology. New to the suite of effects is Classic Chrome, which delivers subtle colors and beautifully muted tones reminiscent of vintage reversal film. Using Classic Chrome on cityscapes, for example, will give shots a historic feel, while fashion photos gain an emotive, nostalgic look. Classic Chrome strengthens the film simulation line up and enhances the creative power of the X-T1.
[How to set]
Select the “CLASSIC CHROME” option of the “FILM SIMULATION” in the shooting menu. - Natural Live View function is just like the naked eye.
One of the great benefits of an electronic viewfinder is that ‘what you see is what you get’; the final image is displayed in real-time so any Film Simulation modes or other effects can be checked while shooting. But users sometimes need to see colors close to how they’re viewed with an optical finder, or to focus on shadow detail, which some high-contrast effects block out. To aid this, the Natural Live View function has been added and, when “PREVIEW PIC. EFFECT” is turned Off in the menu, an image close to the naked eye is displayed during live view.
[How to set]
Select “ON” in the “PREVIEW PIC. EFFECT” of the new “SCREEN SET-UP” in the setup menu. - EVF / LCD Color Control
“EVF COLOR” and “LCD COLOR” options in the setup menu to adjust the hue of the electronic viewfinder and LCD monitor.
[How to set]
Select the “EVF COLOR” and “LCD COLOR” options of the new “SCREEN SET-UP” in the setup menu. - AF+MF
“AF+MF” function enables seamless manual focusing. After half pressing the shutter to autofocus on the subject, fine adjustment can then be made using the manual focus ring. - Direct selection of AF area
The update will let users select the focus area using the 4-way controller, without pressing the Fn key.
[How to set]

As well as the existing 60fps and 30fps selections, 50fps, 25fps and 24fps options will be available with the update. 50 fps and 25 fps allow video editing in the PAL regions, such as Europe, without converting the frame rate. 24 fps offers a cinema-like view. - Manual Shooting in Video mode
The update will enable ISO sensitivity selection prior to shooting videos, as well as the ability to adjust aperture and shutter speed during movie recording. - Phase detection AF support for Instant AF
In Instant AF mode, which is operated by pressing the AF-L button during manual focusing, the update will enable Phase Detection AF, providing faster focusing speeds. - Interlocking of Metering and Focus areas
