In reply to s5600 • Aug 5, 2006. Good luck with requesting Fujifilm for firmware updates! Is it true that the macro option is not accessable??? Manual focus: no luck there, they've implemented it like this on all their MF cameras (with exception of the latest with a focus ring I guess.) RAW: for some reason,. Hi all, If you know about link posted below, sorry for wasting your time. But if you don't, please, visit it! Our camera can reborn with new software! A lot of useful features are locked or not included in S5600, such as live histogramm, graduated scale for manual focus e. Every voice is important!

Following recent updates to the X-Pro1 and X-E1, Fujifilm has released a major upgrade to the X100, the original (now-discontinued) X-series model, which was announced back in 2010. Since its release, the X100 has benefitted from a series of major firmware improvements, and the latest - likely to be the last - offers faster startup time, and improvements to automatic and manual focus. Firmware v2.0 is available for download today. The X100 has benefited from a string of firmware updates, which greatly improved the product over its lifespan. Firmware v2.0 is notable for being released after the camera has been discontinued. This update is significant in two ways. Firstly, X100 owners are going to love it, since it promises to significantly boost the performance of their camera for no cost. It doesn't turn the X100 into an X100S, but we suspect that for a lot of owners of the original model, increased AF speed and a decent manual focus aid will keep them very happy, and will extend their relationships with the X100 for some time to come.

And this leads us to the second respect in which Fujifilm's announcement is significant. We're pretty sure that no one has ever done this before.

We've seen major updates to relatively old products before (Canon's venerable EOS 7D was given last year) but never to a camera that has been superceded and discontinued. Updates to 'end-of-life' products are generally released to ensure compatibility with newer dependent accessories or software. It's worth noting that reenergizing the X100 in this way won't in itself make Fujifilm any money. In fact, if it prevents some X100 users from upgrading to the X100S, the company might even lose out in the short term, without even taking the cost of research and development into account. Florida Driver License Font. This looks very much like a gesture of goodwill.

Plus, knowing Fujifilm's engineers as we do, we suspect that there's a degree of simple, gleeful enthusiasm here - they figured out how to do something, got excited, and went ahead and did it. Not every manufacturer would take this kind of a risk. But if there's one thing that we've learned, it's that while gestures like this might have a short-term cost, keeping your customers happy always pays off in the end.
