edmond_terakopian Posted March 29, 2011 Share #543 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Done :-) AF speed does feel faster and certainly in low light (indoors) it locked on quicker than before. Too early to make any proper comments though; hopefully I'll get a chance to go shooting with it later on today. Â Cheers, Â Edmond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippa Posted March 29, 2011 Share #544 Â Posted March 29, 2011 I had to download from the US site because that in Europe didn't have the new firmware when I looked. Â Thanks Leica for the improvements to manual focusing. The 2 speed wheel and depth of field indicator are are genuine improvements and mean that I'll spend more time using those features. No discernible change to Autofocus though. I hear what's been done but I can't detect any improvement in "low-ish" light performance apart from multiple shots at a similar distance. Â Still it's a great update and should please the Street Shooters:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once downloaded by Safari it automatically unzips the file to a .upd file. You don't have to open it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejeklint Posted March 29, 2011 Share #551 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Upgraded without problems. Have tried it out for a while and so far so good, mostly. AF is indeed improved, less hunting and fewer misses and often, when subject is about the same distance as last picure, it locks on fokus much faster. Feels like an incremental but solid and very noticeable improvement. Â But AF Macro seems to suffer a bit. Sometimes when I'm at or close to shortest possible distance I get green frame in spite of focus being totally wrong. Actually feels like a bug.

patrick parker Posted March 29, 2011 Share #552 Â Posted March 29, 2011 Auto focus seems to be the same speed. But the manual focus is definitely fixed. I would congratulate them if the hadn't taken them so damn long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you got a corrupted download? If you're on Snow Leopard, it'll automatically unzip and put the file you need in the Downloads folder.  Edmond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

py6km Posted March 29, 2011 Share #556 Â Posted March 29, 2011 I've been to'ing and fro'ing between the X1 and my X100 preorder for weeks now, and was waiting to see what any potential fw upgrade brought to the X1. It's difficult to make a call without having used them both, which is a problem wrt the X100 of course as virtually no shops will have any, let alone a demo one. I'm still torn - I think it mainly comes down to price, as the X1 + VF + grip is a fair whack. Â As someone who does not want to manual focus (I say this because I'd be unlikely to use it), but who values image quality, and if you didn't have either camera, which would you choose? For example, if you were expecting a newborn, would the X1 give you any cause for concern in being able to take the images you'd like to be able to take? I'm looking for balanced opinions, this is not an attack on any particular make or model. Although, many X100 images I see look a bit, well, washed out - not sure if it's processing. Also, it seems that all the initial run have a wonky OVF issue which requires the camera to be sent back to Fuji for repair (although some folk with it are clearly trying to ignore the issue). I'm not enormously impressed I have to say. Â As a benchmark, I've previously had a D700, 1D Mark III, and currently have a 5D Mark II with the 85L f/1.2. I prefer quality over convenience, but not to the detriment of 'speed' - i.e. being able to use something that functions in such a way as to enable me to be able to take images of things that may not be stationary.
