FUJIFILM X-T3 Firmware Update Ver. 3.20

FUJIFILM continues to improve its best-seller mirrorless camera, the X-T3, with a new firmware update version 3.20. The overall autofocus performance of the camera should significantly improve with this firmware. Here is the complete changelog:

• Improving the tracking performance of the eye AF frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus on the eyes.
• Better face-detection performance when there are faces of different sizes within the same frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus.
• Improving autofocus capability on a foreground subject even when there is a mixture of foreground and background subjects within an AF frame, causing the foreground subject to go out of focus, e.g., when shooting flowers against a busy background.
• You can now save up to 9,999 pictures in each folder. The number of images that can be saved in a folder on an SD card was limited to 999.
• In movie recording mode, this firmware fixes bugs, including focus hunting at the minimum aperture and a black line that can sometimes appear on the bottom of the center.
• Fix of minor bugs.

This FUJIFILM X-T3 firmware update is free for all users, and you can download it directly on FUJIFILM’s website.

If you are an X-Pro3 shooter, this update fixes a phenomenon that, in rare cases, could freeze the camera. FUJIFILM also fixed a bug that could occur in AF-C mode and continuous shooting that caused color tone incorrect recording issues.
