Fuji XF 16-55mm firmware update issue

Last week, PetaPixel reported that firmware version 1.30 for the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR zoom lens had been suspended due to a bug that impacted exposure accuracy. At the time, Fujifilm said it was working on emergency firmware to alleviate the issue for users who had updated to version 1.30 before it was pulled. The new fix arrived today in the form of version 1.31. Any users who had upgraded to version 1.30 should immediately download and install version 1.31. Complete installation details are available on Fujifilm’s support page.
