You might or might not remember, that already back in early August, I’ve spread rumors saying that, after the amazing FW 4.0, the Kaizen Love for the X-T1 was not over. In fact, I got a hint that another Firmware is right now in the works, maybe to be named Firmware 5.0.
And I have elements to trust this rumor. There should indeed be more Kaizen love for the X-T1. What I’m trying to find out at the moment is which changes/features it will bring and when exactly it will be released. And I’m also trying to find some fellow X-tester willing to share the Beta-Firmware-file with all of us 🙂 .
So what I think is this: the customizable Video Button will come. It will be one of the features of Firmware 5.0 (if Fuji will number it 5.0). In my eyes, the source just mixed up things a bit. It knew about the new FN-button via Firmware, but confused FW 4.10 with 5.0.
Sure, Firmware 5.0 will tell if I’m right with my assumption. And if I am, then also the second part of the rumor this source shared, the new rumored lens roadmap, could still be correct. If not, then sorry guys. I’ll try to fix it and give you a more reliable rumor about the next Fuji lens roadmap.
However, even if the source is right, and just mixed up FW 4.10 with FW 5.0, fact is that I told you that FW 4.10 will bring the customizable video button. This is why I’ll move it right in the “wrong rumors” section of my big rumor overview. I’m merciless with myself. So this rumor will join the other few wrong rumors, like the Adobe tethering update, that I said will come in August, but came 3 days too early, on July 29. Wrong is wrong!

…and what is Kaizen love for the X-E2 🙁
Fujifilm France said they are working on it: http://www.fujirumors.com/kaizen-is-back-fuji-france-says-firmware-update-for-the-x-e2-will-come-release-date-not-yet-fixed/
Fujifilm confirmed it will come at the end of this year: http://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-confirms-new-af-system-also-for-fuji-x-e2-at-the-end-of-this-year/
A new source said it will bring new AF system: http://www.fujirumors.com/the-fujifilm-x-e2-will-get-the-new-af-system-at-the-end-of-this-year-new-source/
and where is Kaizen love for the X100s?
Seconding this! Patrick, do you have any info at all on an update for the X100S?
no
I can only hope they add a function that checks for a memory card inside the card slot.
Why on earth did they implement the option to check for a lens attachement and forget to check the memory card inside the cardslot?
Its soooo easy to forget to insert a memory card, but its much harder to forget to attach a lens to the body….
Hope @Fujifilm is listening.
Who had Fuji do we have to spam with requests for +/-3 stop auto-bracketing??? It should be a REALLY EASY software fix for them! WHY don’t we have it yet??? Makes ZERO sense!
I’d like a HDR function…will it come true?
Your rumor page is the best so go easy on yourself Patrick.
thanks 🙂
3 stop bracketing is on a lot of people’s mind.
Record button function is also a good idea.
What else is on you Christmas wishlist? 🙂
About the firmware, is anyone out there doing a third party firmware for Fuji cameras (jailbreak?!). I’m just curious 🙂
That would be great.
The firmware is probably encrypted.
The title for this rumour post aptly describes the first question I had when the whole rumour about re-assigning the video button started.
Are you in any way sponsored by Apple?
I was reading your post on my iPhone 6 and then switched to my iMac 27″ to ask what made you suggest such a thing.
