Firmware Update Issues for Fujifilm X-T5 and X-H2 Cameras

TapTechNews reported on June 7th that on April 25th, Fujifilm pushed firmware updates for the X-T5 and X-H2 cameras. After the update, the firmware version of the X-T5 rose to 3.01, and the firmware version of the X-H2 camera rose to 4.00. The official log mentioned that the relevant firmware mainly improved the stability when connected to the "FUJIFILM X App".

However, the relevant firmware made a "negative optimization" in auto-focusing. Since then, a large number of users have reported that the "tracking auto-focus" function of their cameras is inaccurate after the upgrade. TapTechNews comprehensively received feedback, and the relevant problems mainly manifested in two aspects: "not being able to focus" and "unable to track the face".

At present, Fujifilm has responded to the foreign media FujiRumors, admitting the relevant problems and announcing that it will release a firmware for repair in July this year. However, the official has not temporarily withdrawn the relevant update package. Before that, if users receive an update message in the App, they should not upgrade their cameras to the latest firmware.

Fujifilm launched the X-H2 camera on September 9, 2022. This is the world's first APS-C camera capable of internal recording in 8K 30p Apple ProRes format. The camera is equipped with a 40.2-million-pixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and an X-Processor 5 processor, and the single-body price is $1,999 (about 13,390 yuan).

And two months later, on November 2, Fujifilm launched the X-T5 camera. This camera also adopts the back-illuminated 40.2-million-pixel sensor "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" and the "X-Processor 5" processor. The single-body price is $1,799 (about 11,990 yuan), and the 16-80 kit price is $2,350 (about 15,690 yuan).
