New Firmware Updates For Fujifilm X100V, X-T30, and X-Pro3 Coming In February


January 27th, 2021
FUJIFILM Corporation

To our customers

FUJIFILM President Kenji Sukeno is proud to announce that Fujifilm will release free firmware updates for FUJIFILM X100V (X100V), FUJIFILM X-T30 (X-T30) and FUJIFILM X-Pro3 (X-Pro3) X Series cameras at the end of February 2021. These updates reflect feedback provided by FUJIFILM X Series users and address requests for new functions and enhanced usability.

Main updated features:
Support for FUJIFILM X Webcam has been added to X100V and X-T30, while X-Pro3 receives a slight usability enhancement to the OVF/EVF.

■ FUJIFILM X100V (Ver.2.00)
1. Support for FUJIFILM X Webcam
This update adds compatibility with the FUJIFILM X Webcam (X Webcam) software, which allows the camera to be used as a high-quality webcam by installing X Webcam on a computer and connecting the camera to a computer via a USB cable.
2. Apply Film Simulations through X Webcam
Apply Fujifilm’s one-of-a-kind Film Simulation modes to provide a personal touch to any web meeting or interaction.*1
*1 This upgrade does not provide the capability to make adjustments to camera settings from a tethered computer.
3. Use the built-in ND filter in the video mode
The built-in ND filter can now also be used in video mode, while recording video, which will let image makers use wide apertures in bright light or slower shutter speeds.
4.Set the Position of the Bright Frame to its Shifted Location
In optical viewfinder mode, the Bright Frame shifts to the actual shooting area when the shutter button is pressed halfway. This update adds an option to set the camera to remember the Bright Frame’s shifted location. Turning the setting to ON means the camera will not need to readjust the frame’s position every time focus is acquired.
5. Expanded Functionality
When using the digital teleconverter function, you can save still images in RAW + JPEG to the memory card.

■FUJIFILM X-T30 (Ver.1.40)
1. Support for FUJIFILM X Webcam
This update adds compatibility with the FUJIFILM X Webcam (X Webcam) software, which allows the camera to be used as a high-quality webcam by installing X Webcam on a computer and connecting the camera to a computer via a USB cable.
2. Apply Film Simulations through X Webcam
Apply Fujifilm’s one-of-a-kind FIlm Simulation modes to provide a personal touch to any web meeting or interaction.*1
*1 This upgrade does not provide the capability to make adjustments to camera settings from a tethered computer.
3. Rating Information is Now Saved
Rating information assigned in-camera, is now visible in third-party software to allow for enhanced catalog management.

■FUJIFILM X-Pro3 (Ver.1.20)
1.Set the Position of the Bright Frame to its Shifted Location
In optical viewfinder mode, the Bright Frame shifts to the actual shooting area when the shutter button is pressed halfway. This update adds an option to set the camera to remember the Bright Frame’s shifted location. Turning the setting to ON means the camera will not need to readjust the frame’s position every time focus is acquired.

  • Work cameras are usually too heavy to play but the GFX100S is a camera that can be used for work and play
  • It took 2 years to figure out how to reduce the size of the GFX100
  • XF27 f/2.8 is clinically sharp
  • Comparing the X-E4 having a flat front to Leica and how you can add a thumb grip if you want and Fujifilm is even making one
  • Sony A1 is an impressive camera by all accounts, but not sure why you would want to go there with the GFX100 having better IQ and color
  • If you shoot Canon it is easier to switch to Sony, but if you shoot Nikon it is easier to go to Fujifilm

Fujifilm GFX100S Specs Compared


Now that we have the specs for the Fujifilm GFX100S we can see how it differs from the GFX100S. It looks like the GFX100S has improved IBIS by 0.5 stops, which is surprising since IBIS shrank, but the GFX100’s ratings haven’t been updated since launch so they may be equal due to firmware updates. RAW is limited to 14-bit, but the GFX100S can make 16-bit TIFF files out of your RAW files. There is also a slightly deeper buffer for rapid shooting.

Physically it looks like the EVF is slightly smaller and lower resolution than the GFX100 and GFX50S in addition to not being detachable. The GFX100S is also very light at 900g and has decent battery performance at 460 shots per charge. It also looks like a GFX50S price drop won’t be far off so the GFX100S fits between the available GFX cameras better. Beyond that, you can take a look at the specs for yourself here.
