Fujifilm Press Release
Regarding Malfunction of FUJIFILM X-H1
To our valued customers
Thank you very much for purchasing and using our products.
We have discovered two malfunctions in the recently launched FUJIFILM X-H1.
They are as follows:
- In the EF (E-FRONT CURTAIN SHUTTER) setting, the warning of “TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN” could appear in rare cases when the FLICKER REDUCTION setting is ON.
- Switching the CUSTOM setting can make the ISO AUTO setting return back to default when the ISO AUTO setting is changed.
We have identified the cause and plan to release an upgraded firmware to address these malfunctions. This firmware should be available near the end of March 2018.
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are always working to improve the quality of our products. Your understanding is very much appreciated.
Thoughtful. Not the splashy norm of reviews.

Video recording capabilities are extensive for a camera that is also strongly stills-orientated. In this area, the addition of DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) video, along with internal F-log recording makes the X-H1 the most professional video-equipped X-Series camera to date.
When outputting4K video to an external recorder via the HDMI port chroma subsampling can be 4:2:2 with an 8-bit colour depth. Recording to an SD card reduces the chroma subsampling to 4:2:0 but retains the 8-bit colour depth.
X-H1 supports also consumer 4K recording at 3840 x 2160 pixels, 'Full HD' at 2048 x 1080 and 1920 x 1080 pixels and HD at 1280 x 720 pixels, all requiring cards with UHS Speed Class 3 or higher. A special high-speed recording mode lets users record Full HD movie clips at up to 100 fps for slow-motion playback, with settings available for half-speed, 1/4 speed and 1/5 speed.
Continuous movie shooting time for X-H1 is 1.5x longer than X-T2, shooting 4K clips requires a lot of processing power, which generates heat. Although the X-H1 has a larger heat sink for releasing heat to the exterior of the camera, shooting times are restricted and the camera becomes quite warm after a few minutes' recording.

Correct, I believe that's a part of the incentive of buying it with the grip. Obviously people have different needs but the camera is only attractive to me with the grip. The X-H1 really should have been delayed and come with the newer sensor once ready, a larger battery and headphone jack in camera. I pre-ordered anyways but it isn't the camera I was hoping for.
I noticed that the kit w/grip comes with 3 batteries but buying the grip alone includes none?

@Manu4Vendetta Odd if there jpgs but common if they are raw conversions. Not all raw converters have the lens corrections built in. I use capture 1 v10 and I see it in my X-T20 files because they don't have the conversions built in. It is easily fixed with light falloff correction tool in Capture 1.
Some stills look like vigneting.

I'm downloading them now but I don't have a 4K monitor to pixel peep.
By idea any video editor has simple way to see video 1:1, even most good players have.
@DrDave Don't know if you saw them but thephotographyblog.com has dowloadable movies of similar scene in true 4K which I believe is slight crop UHD which has no crop and 120fps HD. Be curious what you think seeing the non youtubed files. I'm downloading them now but I don't have a 4K monitor to pixel peep.
If you look at the bass strings of the harp, where the wire is overspun around the string, you can see artifacting running along the edges. It's not bad, but it's not great, either.
Compare the rollout of this camera with that of the EVA-1 and C200. Fuji's presentation and marketing blow the others away.
First, marketing of pro cameras in Panasonic and Canon is separate from consumer stuff like DSC.
Second, EVA1 marketing had been better organized with stepped reveal of stuff.
Here all we have is lot of close bloggers and sites who write fully managed articles and make managed videos that they all publish on same moment.
