FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) will release free firmware updates for the FUJIFILM X-A5 (“X-A5”) X Series digital camera. Due for release in June, the updates are based on feedback we have received by FUJIFILM X Series users wanting improved usability.

Firmware Version:

FUJIFILM X-A5 (Ver. 1.10) – due in June 2018

1.Introducing a new PDAF algorithm

Applying the newly developed PDAF algorithm first featured on the FUJIFILM X-T100 which was announced today. The improvement in autofocus speed and accuracy ensures that you capture those beautiful photographic moments quicker.

2.Extended movie recording time

The optimized movie processing algorithm extends the individual movie recording time up to approximately 30 minutes in any movie quality.*

*Although movie recording will continue without interruption when the file size reaches 4GB, subsequent footage will be recorded to a separate file which must be viewed separately.

3.Other improvement

Improved HDMI output usability – eliminated the time limitation and modified graphic interface when the main LCD monitor is inverted by 180 degrees.
