Fujifilm GFX 100 II, X-H2, X-H2S, and FT-XH Firmware Updates Released – AF Algorithm Tweaked

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 21, 2024


Fujifilm GFX 100 II Firmware Ver.2.30 – Download Here

The firmware update Ver.2.30 from Ver.2.21 incorporates the following issues:
⋆Regarding the details of No.1 and No.2, download the “GFX100 II New Features Guide［Ver.2.30]” from our website.

  1. “F-Log2 C” has been added to the movie shooting menu.You can get more wider color gamut using “F-Log2 C” mode than using “F-Log2”.
    The expanded color gamut allows for the reproduction of high chroma colors that was difficult to reproduce with “F-Log2” and expands the color editable range in ACES space and BT.709.Note：“F-Log2 C 3D-LUT file” and “F-log2 C IDT file” used for movie editing software, can be downloaded from the following download page.
    Download page for “F-Log LUT file and IDT file
  2. “TIME CODE SYNC. SETTING” can now be synchronized with the time code of USB devices.This makes it easy to synchronize multiple movie clips at post-production during multi-camera shooting or separate audio recording. Moreover, “CONNECT TO ATOMOS AirGlu BT” in the Quick menu and function buttons assignment menu is changed to “TIME CODE SYNC.SETTING”.Note：In addition to the Bluetooth connection with “Atomos UltraSync Blue”, “TIME CODE SYNC” via USB-C connection with Ambient devices is now available.
  3. The AF algorithm has been partially revised to improve focusing accuracy and subject tracking performance.
  4. A firmware bug is fixed that the focus position is shifted when turning the camera off and on after focusing with manual focus.
