Fujifilm has released the latest firmware for five models of its mirrorless camera X series. The announcement date is June 27, 2024. The models include 'X-H2S', 'X-H2', 'X-T5', 'X-S20', and 'X100VI'.

Improvement in Eye Detection

The latest update fixes an issue where focus would shift to other subjects within the face frame during eye detection. This allows for more accurate focusing on the subject's eyes. Additionally, an issue where the camera would occasionally freeze when the shutter button was half-pressed simultaneously with AF assist light metering has been resolved.
