Firmware Ver. 1.10 for the X-E3

Adds support for automatic geotagging and time/date synchronization by Bluetooth tagging when the camera is connected to a smartphone. Note: To use this function, the application software “FUJIFILM Camera Remote” needs to be upgrade to the latest version Ver.3.1.0. The new firmware also includes a fix for the live view blinking that could occur with face detection enabled when the dynamic range was on the 400% setting.

Thumb thing for X-E3

Review

The Fujifilm X-E3 shoots 4K video at up to 30p from the full width of its sensor. To achieve it uses pixel binning, hence footage isn't as crisp and detailed as the X-T2's, but it does mean you get the full field-of-view for al lenses. In result, it can't match the level of detail provided by Sony a6300(which oversamples and downscales its 4K footage), but in real-world shooting it's not too far behind the Nikon D7500's output

Review

The sensor is partnered with an X-Processor Pro image processing engine that claims to provide roughly four times the processing speed of previous processors, including the EXR II processor chip in the XPro2. Together, the sensor and processor enable the X-E3 to offer 4K movie recording. In addition, ACROS has been added to the Film Simulation modes, which are available for both stills and 4K video.

The X-E3's performance in movie mode was better than the X-T20's but still fell a little short of expectations. The AF system appeared able to keep track of moving subjects and pick up new subjects as they entered the frame. But the camera's exposure system could be slow to react to changing conditions and tended to favour shadowed areas, leaving highlights to become over-exposed. The auto dynamic range often prioritised low contrast, which amplified the problem.

There were fewer glitches in the footage we recorded and the small number of times where unsharpness interrupted a clip were largely attributable to operator error (camera and/or shooter movement). Audio quality was much the same as we found with the X-T20 and generally good, given the small size of the camera's microphones.
