Fujifilm announced a batch of major updates for the GFX100 Medium Format camera that includes some significant performance improvements for autofocus. The company also launched an updated pixel shift combiner and a new digital camera control software development kit (SDK).
Last year Fufjilm announced a firmware update that would bring pixel-shift multi-shot to the GFX100, allowing it to jump from 100-megapixel photos to capturing whopping 400-megapixel photos. In this 12-minute video, ZY Productions shows exactly what that looks like.
Fujifilm has announced a firmware update the brings pixel shift multi-shot functionality to the GFX100. The camera combines with newly-announced software to combine 16 RAW images into a single 400-megapixel image.
Fuji has just dropped "the biggest firmware upgrade in the history of the Fujifilm GFX system," complete with several major photo and video improvements for all of Fuji's medium format mirrorless cameras: the GFX 100, GFX 50S, and GFX 50R.
Fujifilm has released an interesting update for the fixed-lens X100V. After users complained that the new camera was unexpectedly shutting off due to overheating issues, the company has added an "Auto Power Off Temp" option in the menu that actually lets you set the temperature level at which your camera will overheat and turn off.
Fujifilm is making a name for itself as a company that truly supports the cameras it puts on the market. By delivering major firmware updates for existing models (even ones that have been discontinued and replaced) they make it less likely that people will upgrade, but simultaneously build fierce customer loyalty.
Today, Fuji continues down this road with firmware 2.0 for the X-E2: a major update that brings the X-T1's nearly no-lag EVF performance and more to the older shooter.
