XT-3 FIRMWARE UPDATE January 29th

Fuji today released their long awaited XT-3 firmware (version 3.20) which includes the following updates (download it here) –

  1. Enhanced autofocus.
  • Improving the tracking performance of the eye AF frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus on the eyes.
  • Improving face-detection performance when there are faces of different sizes within the same frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus.
  • Improving autofocus capability on a foreground subject even when there is a mixture of foreground and background subjects within a AF frame, causing the foreground subject to go out of focus, e.g. when shooting flowers against a busy background.
  1. Capability to save up to 9,999 pictures in each folder.
    Until now, the number of pictures that can be saved in a folder on an SD card was limited to 999. This update will raise the limit by ten times to 9,999 pictures.
  2. The phenomena below during a movie shooting are fixed.
  • Focus hunting at the minimum aperture.
  • A black line can sometimes appear on the bottom of the center.
  1. Fix of minor bugs.
