The X-T1 gets the biggest update by far. This update adds some amazing new features, including\u00a0a high speed electronic shutter that has a maximum speed of 1\/32,000 sec. This function was built into the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/buy\/fuji_x_t1_graphite_edition\/Ntt\/fuji%2Bx-t1%2Bgraphite%2Bedition\/N\/0\/kw\/search\/BI\/5871\/KBID\/6746\/DFF\/d10-v1-t12\">X-T1 Special Graphite Silver Edition<\/a>, and now it&#8217;s available to the regular X-T1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The X-Pro1, X-E2 and X-E1 also see some improvements as well, although not nearly as many as have been given to the X-T1. Consider them early Christmas presents that make your X cameras even better. If you have any of these models, I highly recommend downloading and installing the update. You can find all the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/support\/digital_cameras\/software\/fw_table.html\">appropriate files and instructions on the Fujifilm website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">X-T1 Updates<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In all, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/support\/digital_cameras\/software\/firmware\/x\/xt1\/index.html\">27 new features for the\u00a0X-T1<\/a>\u00a0that increase the power of this amazing little camera even more.\u00a0Here are some of the updates that v.3.0. adds.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single-button direct AF activation:\u00a0<\/strong>you no longer have to press a Fn button first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The new Classic Chrome film simulation:\u00a0<\/strong>reportedly a tribute to vintage Kodachome film.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Natural Live View Mode:\u00a0<\/strong>this shows you the scene &#8220;as is&#8221; in the EVF, regardless of what film sim you&#8217;re using.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unlocked AE-L\/AF-L buttons<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Seamless AF+MF manual focusing<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Q-Menu customization<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>New video frame rates:\u00a0<\/strong>50p\/25p\/24p<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manual shooting in video mode<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional options for Fn button settings:\u00a0<\/strong>Flash compensation, shutter type, preview picture effect and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lock Mode:\u00a0<\/strong>Prevents accidental changes to cameras settings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3 New White Balance Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>PC tethered shooting support<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>X-Pro1 Update<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/support\/digital_cameras\/software\/firmware\/x\/xpro1\/index.html\">X-Pro1 v.3.40 update<\/a>\u00a0adds the seamless AF+MF focusing function.<\/p>\n<h2>X-E2 Updates<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/support\/digital_cameras\/software\/firmware\/x\/xe2\/index.html\">X-E2 v.3.00 update<\/a> adds the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AF+MF focusing<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wi-Fi Camera Remote Control<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Classic Chrome film simulation<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Interval Timer Shooting\u00a0<\/strong>for time lapse photography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>X-E1 Update<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/support\/digital_cameras\/software\/firmware\/x\/xe1\/index.html\">X-E1 v.2.40 update<\/a> also adds the AF+MF focusing function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the things I really like about Fujifilm is that they develop their cameras and lenses with the Japanese philosophy\u00a0of &#8220;Kaizen&#8220;, which refers to the concept of continuous improvement.
