As it promised it would back in November, Fujifilm has published the firmware updates for its X-T3 and X-H1 cameras, as well as a little firmware update for the Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lynx.
Fujifilm X-T3
Firmware version 2.0 for the X-T3 addresses a number of issues and features present in firmware version 1.02. Most notably, it’s now possible to record 4K HDR video in Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) when shooting in 10-bit H.265 (HEVC) mode and simultaneously output Film Simulation while capturing F-Log footage under certain conditions. It can also now shoot video files larger than 4GB without splitting the file up, so long as the SD card being used is 64GB or bigger. Other small additions include the ability to display the color temperature on the EVF and LCD displays in Kelvin and compatibility with ALL-Intra and maximum bitrate 400Mbps in 8-bit, H.264 mode.
The update is available on Fujifilm’s X-T3 firmware download page.
Fujifilm X-H1
Firmware version 2.0 for the X-H1 also addresses the file size limitation issue as well as the color temperature display, but focuses on one feature in particular — image stabilization. With firmware version 2.0, the X-H1 will now work better when used with optically stabilized lenses. Fujifilm says in the update notes that ‘[Firmware version 2.00] has a new image stabilization algorithm to allow the in-body image stabilization to work in all 5 axis and to achieve more than five-stops (up to the equivalent of 5.5 stops) image stabilization by cooperative control according to the types of frequency and blur amount.’
The update is available on Fujifilm’s X-H1 firmware download page.
Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro
In addition to the two major firmware releases, Fujifilm also threw in a small update for its 80mm F2.8 macro lens. Firmware version 1.11 adds improved compatibility between the in-body stabilization of the X-H1 and the optical stabilization inside the Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro lens when used in conjunction with firmware version 2.00 for the X-H1.
