XE-1 FW Ver. 1.04 - Can't seem to find download

[Lawrence Sheperd]

I only seem to be able to find the 1.05 update on Fuji's website, which requires 1.04, which I don't have (still at 1.01)...hmmmm.

Anyone know the secret handshake?

There is going to be a firmware update, I forget which number, that will coincide with the release of the 55-200mm zoom lens. I believe it will be in July.

Thanks Keith. I believe that is 1.05 ("AF speed is improved when used with XF55-200mmF3.5- 4.8 R LM OIS."), which is the current offering. I'm still at two versions ago and can't update to 1.05 unless I have 1.04, which I can't find on Fuji's website.

RANT on ---- The Fuji upgrade process scheme including naming convention is stuck in the last decade. Working in embedded fw, I am simply aghast at their lack of current understanding... Their website for upgrading process is just as bad.. I think we have all discussed this in the past. RANT off 🙁

To the OP

I keep all my previous copies of the fw.. Since it is 38mb, if someone has a drop box I can upload to, I can provide it, if no one can find a site for down load.

Good luck
Gary

Thanks, Gary. If no one chimes in I'll sign up for a dropbox and take you up on your offer.

Gary, I've set up a dropbox.com account. I'm going to private message you the info. I'm at ver. 1.01 for the body, so I'd guess that I'll need all versions after that. Thanks again for the offer.

Problem solved. Finally parsed the convoluted download scheme and have successfully updated to v1.05. Thanks to those that helped.

Thanks again, Gary, for your kind offer. You're right; the firmware update procedure at Fuji's website is arcane, to say the least.

I'm quite sure that you don't need to do incremental firmware upgrades. I know that I've skipped at least one whole version in the past.

On the Fujifilm website for 1.05 it says to ensure your camera is running 1.03 or former but I believe that is a typo and should be 1.04 or former. http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xe1/download.html
