In addition to announcing a camera, lens and more, Fujifilm has also revealed it will soon release a free firmware update for its X-T3 that will improve autofocus performance and more. The firmware update will go live on October 28, according to Fujifilm’s press release.
The improvements should see autofocus speeds more than double, taking focus times drop from 0. 06 seconds to 0. 02 seconds, bringing the X-T3’s autofocus performance more in line with the X-T4.
Fujifilm says it’s also improved the algorithm for predicting subject movements, which should result in a >90% ‘hit rate. ’ The Face Tracking and Eye AF algorithm has also been re-written to double the tracking performance in continuous shooting modes.
Other improvements include the ability to use AF in low light levels down to -7EV with the new Fujinon XF 50mm F1. 0 R WR lens, a new ‘Focus Limiter’ feature for setting pre-determined focus ranges, the ability to change the size of Single AF points while recording video and improvements that make it possible for third-party programs to read the ratings applied to pictures in-camera.
We will update this article when the firmware is released.
