Stolen from the Fuji forums

https://www.fujifilm.e​u …jifilm-x-pro2-coming-soon (external link)


FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) will release free firmware updates for the FUJIFILM X-Pro2 ("X-Pro2") and FUJIFILM X-T2 ("X-T2") double flagship models of the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras. The first one is due in late March and the second will be due late May 2017, reflecting users' requests for improving operability and adding new functions. Applying the firmware updates will add new functions such as "Voice Memo" and "Copyright Information", and dramatically improve operability in autofocus, video recording and viewfinder handling.

X-T2 version 2.00 & X-Pro2 version 3.00 - due late March 2017

1. Shooting RAW in Bracketing and Advanced Filters
The update enables you to use the RAW format when shooting not only in AE Bracketing but also in other Bracketing modes (ISO, Dynamic Range, White Balance, Film Simulations) and also in Advanced Filter modes.

2. Extended ISO 125 and 160 selectable
The update adds ISO125 and ISO160 to extended ISO levels available.

3. Programmable long exposure of up to 15 minutes

Long exposure in the T mode currently goes only up to 30 seconds. The update will allow users to extend it up to 15 minutes.

4. ON/OFF for 1/3-step shutter speed adjustment (X-T2 only - already in X-Pro2)
The update allows you to turn off the Command Dial's function to adjust shutter speed by 1/3 steps in order to prevent unintended adjustments.

5. Full-range ISO adjustments with the Command Dial (X-T2 only)
With the update, set the ISO "A" position to "Command" to adjust ISO sensitivity across the full range, including extended ISOs, with the Front Command Dial.

6. "AUTO" setting added for the minimum shutter speed in the ISO Auto setting
The update adds an AUTO option for the minimum shutter speed in the ISO Auto setting, that allows the camera to automatically define the minimum shutter speed according to the focal length of the lens attached.

7. Faster "Face Detection AF"
The update enables the use of Phase Detection AF for faster performance in Face Detection AF.

8. Improved in-focus indication in the AF-C mode
The update reduces focus hunting in the AF-C mode, making it easier to track a subject.

9. Addition of a smaller Focus Point size in Single Point AF
The update adds a smaller Focus Point size in Single Point AF, bringing the total number of available sizes to six. The new smallest size facilitates pin-point focusing.

10. Addition of "AF Point Display" (X-Pro2 only - already on X-T2)
With the update, you can choose to have AF Points constantly displayed in Zone AF and Wide / Tracking AF, making it easier to track a subject.

11. Addition of "AF-C Custom Setting" (X-Pro2 only - already on X-T2)

The update adds "AF-C Custom Setting" for specifying focus-tracking characteristics. Choose from five presets according to your subject's type of movements.

12. Addition of "Portrait / Landscape AF Mode Switching" (X-T2 only)
The update allows you to specify separate AF mode and AF point settings for portrait orientation and landscape orientation.

13. Change of focus frame position while enlarging it
The update allows you to move the position of focus frame while enlarging it in Single Point in the AF-S mode or in the Manual Focus

14. Activation of the Eye Sensor in video recording (X-T2 only)
The update allows you to use the Eye Sensor during video recording to automatically switch between EVF and LCD.

15. Change of ISO sensitivity during video recording (X-T2 only)
The update allows you to change ISO setting during video recording.

16. Re-autofocusing in video recording
With the update, half-press the Shutter Release button or press the button assigned to "AF-ON" function during video recording to re-do autofocusing.

17. Display live histogram during video recording (X-T2 only)
The update allows you to display a live histogram during video recording.

18. Optimization of external microphone's input level (X-T2 only)
The update optimizes external microphone's input level (lower limit revised from -12dB to 20dB) to reduce white noise when an external microphone with preamp is connected.

19. Addition of "Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display" in the View Mode
The update gives the "Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display" option in the View Mode that allows you to shoot through the viewfinder and check images on the LCD, just as you would with an SLR.

20. Shorter EVF display time-lag (X-Pro2 only - already in X-T2)
The update shortens EVF's display time-lag in the AF-C mode so that you will not miss a photo opportunity.

21. Constant "Dual" mode display (X-T2 only)
With the update, the small window in the Dual mode stays on even when you half-press the shutter release button.

22. Automatic vertical GUI for LCD (X-T2 only)
With the update, when you hold the camera in the portrait orientation, the camera will automatically display the GUI on the LCD in the same orientation.

23. Name Custom Settings
The update allows you to assign a specific name to Custom Settings 1 - 7.

24. Copyright information in EXIF data
The update allows you to register the photographer's name and the copyright holder's name in advance so that the camera automatically adds the information to EXIF data for each image.

25. Voice Memo function
The update enable you to record 30-second "Voice Memo" clips in the Playback mode.

26. Extended AE Bracketing
The update extends AE Bracketing from the current 3 frames +/-2EV to up to 9 frames +/-3EV.

27. Addition of "Shoot Without Card" mode
With the update, you can have the "Shoot Without Card" mode turned OFF so that the camera can not shoot when there is no SD card inserted.
X-T2 version 2.10 & X-Pro2 version 3.10 - late May 2017

28. Support for computer tethering via Wi-Fi (X-T2 only)
The update adds support for computer tethering via Wi-Fi.

29. Addition of "All" AF mode (X-T2 only)
With the update, select "All" in the AF mode so that you can select the AF mode and Focus Area size by only using the Command Dial.

30. Function extension for "Shutter AF" and "Shutter AE" (X-T2 only)
With the update, you can specify different settings for AF-S and AF-C in "Shutter AF" and for AF-S / MF and AF-C in "Shutter AE."

31. Addition of "-6" and "-7" to EVF's brightness setting
Additional options of "-6" and "-7" to the "EVF Brightness" setting so that, even in an extremely low-light condition, the brightness of the EVF does not distract you from shooting.

32. Switchover of the main and sub displays in the Dual Display mode (X-T2 only)
The update allows you to switch between the main and sub displays in the Dual Display mode.

33. Function assignment to the Rear Command Dial
With the update, you can assign a specific function to be activated when the Rear Command Dial is pressed.

Wow, that's a update. I'll have to play with it all over again to learn all the updates. Is that both updates or just March.

Lots of lovely Fuji goodness there.

Having shot with Sony's A7, their face tracking, eh, tracks really well, so happy Fuji are enabling phase detection for their face tracking AF. Pinpoint AF I'm also looking forward to, used that quite a bit at weddings when I was shooting 5D3's. And the big one for MF is 32, long time request.

ISO on the command dial, I know [can guess] why Fuji are not enabling this on the X-PRO2 but I wish they would give the option, it's not to difficult to change ISO on the the PRO2 once you get the knack, just a little more tackle to use your thumb, like manual AE comp as it were.

It's funny, I really love shooting with my X-PRO2, but having read the update list I find myself wanting to replace my X-T1 with the T2 and not the Pro2. Till the next few days then...

#7 is already found on the X-T20 so I knew it was a matter of time before Fuji added it to their other cameras.

My camera will be almost new again

Welcome to the world of Fuji ;)

When I bought my X-E2 it was at the end of it's life-cycle. I didn't expect anything more from it, I knew exactly what I was getting... then just a couple of weeks after I bought it Fuji came out with an update that completely changed the camera, made it basically a corner EVF version of the X-T20/T1, and this was either after or shortly before they launched the X-E2S, which is what most companies would consider the replacement model.

Fuji's dedication to their products post release is honestly one of the biggest draws to their system, I just straight up like them as a company... not a lot of companies I can say that about.

Going to load it up later this week. Hopefully my Nissin flashes still work after the update. Using wireless TTL has been nice :lol:

Bracketing is a huge improvement up to nine shots in three steps, giving -12 to +12 EV down to -1 & 1/3 to + 1 & 1/3 or anything in between in 1/3 steps.

Cool little addition for manual focus, now showing you where you focus point is in the frame. Shorter lag time is great, just a little blackout with the first shot then none at all, add that to the faster tracking and the AF-C options from the X-T2 and the X-PRO2 is more prepared for action.

Just love the new bracketing option, and 15 minute T mode. No more additional accessories to extend the 30sec Bulb mode. RIP Triggertrap

I normally never use face detect but the X-T2 certainly feels like it's locking on a face instantly with zero hesitation. Haven't tried the eye detect yet.

I really do not like using these functions as it takes away my control. Neat thing to try though.
