Today, Fujifilm has rolled out firmware versions 2.40, 3.00, and 3.40 developed for its X-E1, X-E2, and X-Pro1 digital cameras, respectively, which add support for the new AF + MF function.

This added feature enabled for all 3 cameras seamless manual focusing, by half-pressing the shutter to autofocus and then making fine adjustments using the manual focus ring.

Beside this addition, Fujifilm’s X-E2 unit will also benefit from an “Interval Timer Shooting” function, thus allowing their owners to capture time lapse photos. To use this option, just set shooting interval and number of frames, and you’re done.

In addition to that, through firmware 3.00 the wireless function for remote capturing (using smartphones or tablets) will be improved, and X-E2 users will be able to use “Classic Chrome” option from the Film Simulation modes to add a vintage touch to their captured videos.

When it comes to installing these releases, first check your currently installed firmware and make sure it isn’t either newer or matching this update, and only afterwards download the proper package for your camera model.

Now, copy the .DAT file onto an empty SD card, insert it into your X-series camera, power it on while holding the “Back” button, and select “Yes” as the next dialog. Also, make sure no XF lens are attached and the battery is fully charged (if not, keep AC adapter connected during update).

All you need to do now is to select “Body” item, choose “Ok” at all next popups, and wait for the unit to perform the installation. After 90 seconds or so, upon completion, simply turn off your camera and remove the SD card.

That being said, download Fujifilm X-E1 Firmware 2.40, download Fujifilm X-E2 Firmware 3.00, or download Fujifilm X-Pro1 Firmware 3.40, take into account all aforementioned aspects, and upgrade your camera to the latest software version.
