Fujifilm has released a significant firmware update for its 18MP 1-inch sensor compact camera. The update focuses on enhancing connectivity, improving touch controls, and resolving several technical glitches.
Key New Features & Improvements
Enhanced Instax Integration: You can now print directly to instax™ Evo and LiPlay series. A new "Direct Print" icon has been added to the playback screen for quicker access.
Improved Handling: * Touch Focus: In [AREA] AF mode, you can now move the focus frame using swipe gestures on the LCD.
Manual Workflow: The Frame Advance Lever can now be used to prepare the next shot even while the camera is still recording images in [FILM CAMERA MODE].
UI Updates: The smartphone pairing screen has been redesigned for better usability, and movie icons are now visible in the nine-frame playback grid.
Logic Change: Users can no longer "develop" film in the app if no photos were taken while in [Film Camera] mode.
Major Bug Fixes
System Stability: Fixed a critical bug where the camera would freeze during movie recording if Face/Eye detection was active while using the viewfinder.
Display Issues: Resolved preview flickering in certain lighting and fixed a bug where 2-in-1 images would get "stuck" halfway when swiping.
Hardware Accuracy: Fixed an issue where the shutter count increased unnecessarily and corrected the battery charging indicator light staying on after a full charge.
Time Sync: Fixed a synchronization error between the smartphone and camera date/time settings during initial setup.
