Fujifilm has released a firmware update for its midrange X-T30 mirrorless camera. It aims to reduce the likelihood of accidentally pressing the Q. Menu button which, as we pointed out in our review, is one of the most frustrating things about an otherwise-great camera.
Fujifilm says that the update makes the button slower to reaction to being pressed, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidentally opening the Q. Menu.
An additional update coming in June will allow you to redefine the function of the Q. Menu button, or disable it entirely.
We've installed the new firmware on our X-T30 to see how well it works at reducing accidental button-pressing, and will update our review as needed.
The firmware update Ver. 1. 01 from Ver. 1. 00 incorporates the following issue:
1. Improved operability of the Q (quick menu) button
To avoid accidentally opening the Q (quick) menu, the button reaction time has been increased.
*FUJIFILM Corporation plans an additional firmware update in June. This will allow customers to use the Q button as a Fn button. This planned update also allows the user to disable the Q button and adds it as a choice in the Function (Fn) Settings enabling the option to assign it to a different Fn button.
