GFX 50R Firmware update

The maximum number of frames that can be recorded in a single folder has been changed from 9,999 to 999.

If you are using a macOS computer to process recorded files in the SDXC memory card, make sure to follow the procedure below before upgrading the firmware.
Follow the instructions in “II-2. If using an SDXC memory card with existing files or one that　has not been recently formatted:” in the article titled “Important notice for consumers processing FUJIFILM digital camera files using macOS” that was published on Feb. 2 in this web site and then format the SDXC memory card before using it.

•[AUTO+MANUAL], [AUTO] and [MANUAL] selection will be available at [APERTURE SETTING] in [BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] menu under the [SET UP MENU], so that you can adjust the aperture with the command dial in case that no aperture ring lens, GF35-70㎜F4.5-5.6 WR is mounted.
Note-1:[APERTURE SETTING] button will be added with new firmware, and it will be activated
in case that the above lens is mounted (It will be gray out without the above lens).
•“ROTATE THE ZOOM RING TO EXTEND THE LENS” message will appear before photo taking for the customer to avoid miss-shooting since GF35-70㎜F4.5-5.6 WR is retractable.

In P and A mode, this firmware makes the slowest shutter speed slower than 1/8 sec. for the shooting used in a scene where relatively long exposure is required (ex. a flash shooting with night view background). In case the shutter speed setting is AUTO, the shutter speed becomes max. 4 sec in P mode and max. 30 sec. in A mode.

1)Addition of the new Film Simulation modes below.
　・“CLASSIC Neg” mode, simulating color negative film traditionally chosen for snapshots.
　・“ETERNA / CINEMA” mode, which replicates the colors and tonality of Fujifilm’s motion picture film.
2)“Smooth Skin Effect,” featured on the GFX 100, will become available, smoothing the appearance of human skin, ideal for portraiture.

1)Addition of the Low Light Priority AF-S mode, extending exposure time during autofocus to improve AF accuracy in low light.
2)Improvement of the Face / Eye AF performance.
　The face / eye detection accuracy and stability are improved when shooting multiple people, so as to make portrait photography easier than ever before.
3)Auto mode will be added to focus bracketing.
　Specify the starting and ending points and shooting interval, and the camera can automatically determine the number of frames and steps required.

1)The firmware will allow users to adjust exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture value, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation) for still images from a computer when using software that supports some tether-shooting functions.
2)More photo-editing applications will support the import of rating information, assigned in camera.
3)The maximum number of photos that can be saved in each folder on an SD card will increase 10 fold from 999 to 9,999.
4)When setting the color temperature in the White Balance setting, the value of the color temperature is also displayed.
