Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f2.8 Firmware Version 1.30 download has been suspended
We have reported about the firmware update that Fujifilm released for its popular XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens here before.
The company recently released a statement about the issues that were caused by this update on the lens official support page:
Fujifilm: In Ver. 1.30 released on January 22, 2024, it was confirmed that the exposure of images taken with certain focal length and aperture value combinations became abnormal.
For this reason, the firmware download has been suspended.
We are preparing an emergency firmware for customers who have updated to Ver. 1.30, so please wait for it.
The firmware update originally promised to improve exposure tracking during zoom operation when paired with the the Fujifilm X-H2S (Ver.5.10 or later), X-H2 (Ver.3.10 or later), X-T5 (Ver.2.10 or later), X-T4 (Ver.2.10 or later), X-T3 (Ver.5.10 or later), X-S20 (Ver.1.20 or later) andX-S10 (Ver.3.10 or later) cameras.
