Fujifilm X-S10 Firmware 2.00 Announced


Latest firmware update for the FUJIFILM X-S10 Ver.2.00 announced
TOKYO, June 23, 2021 — FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is proud to announce that Fujifilm will release free firmware update for “FUJIFILM X-S10” (X-S10) at the end of June 2021.
The latest firmware reflects feedback provided by FUJIFILM X Series users and address requests for new functions and enhanced usability.

FUJIFILM X-S10 (Firmware Ver.2.00)
-Added support for tethered shooting and gimbal control

1. Support for tethered shooting
The new firmware adds tethered shooting capability, which can be used by connecting the X-S10 to a computer installed with either “Capture One”*1, “Tether Shooting Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®” or “FUJIFILM X Acquire.” The tethered shooting function can be used both via the USB cable connection and also wirelessly over a Wi-Fi network.
*1 See Capture One’s website for information about Capture One compatibility.

2. Firmware enables remote control functionality from gimbal via USB communications
With this firmware update, combining the X-S10 with a compatible gimbal that supports remote control functionality will allow users to start / stop video recording, specify exposure settings for video (shutter speed, aperture value, ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation), and make manual focus adjustments. Guilin Zhishen Information Technology Co., Ltd (ZHIYUN) has announced the intention of offering compatible products for the new X-S10 firmware update.

3. Support for function-specific locking
The new firmware adds a Lock option to the settings for buttons and dials in the Setup menu. By enabling the function, the unintended changes of dial / button settings will be prevented

Lenstip: Fujinon XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Review


The Fujinon XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR has been very well-reviewed since its launch and now lens tips has released its review, which says basically the same things the XF18mm is not to be missed. I’m starting to warm to the XF18mm myself and will likely add it to my collection soon even though I already own the great XF16mm.

After the test the situation is very clear. You get a long list of pros and just one flaw, and, additionally, it’s a flaw to be expected. The tested lens broke the latest resolution record and not just barely so but by a very healthy margin.

Pros:

  • solid, weather-sealed casing, mostly made of metal,
  • sensational image quality in the frame centre,
  • decent image quality on the edge of the frame,
  • negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,
  • excellent correction of lateral chromatic aberration,
  • lack of problems with spherical aberration,
  • slight distortion,
  • low astigmatism,
  • out-of-focus areas pleasing to the eye for a wide-angle lens,
  • sensible performance against bright light,
  • silent, accurate, and fast autofocus.

Cons:

  • a bit too high vignetting.
