Fujifilm releases X Raw Studio and updates X-T2, X-T20, GFX 50S firmware
(Digital Photography Review)

Fujifilm has announced its X Raw Studio Conversion System software, which it first teased back at Photokina. The software is essentially a viewer for the in-camera Raw converters that already exist on X and GFX series cameras. In fact, the software doesn`t actually do any processing - the camera does, over a USB connection. Fujifilm claims that X Raw Studio is more than twenty times faster than the SilkyPix-based converter. The macOS version is available for download today, with a Windows application to follow in February. The software adjusts exactly the same parameters as on the camera and supports batch processing and saving conversion profiles. As you`d expect, a side-by-side viewer is available. As of today only the GFX 50S and X-T2 are supported, with the X-Pro2 and X100F to follow in December, all via firmware updates. Speaking of which, the company also posted firmware updates for the X-T2, X-T20 and GFX 50S that were announced at Photokina. Changes include: FUJIFILM X-T2: V.3.0 Key Features: New AF tracking algorithm enhances AF-C to track moving subjects half the size, or moving twice as fast as previous models. Supports FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO which enables users to convert RAW files with X Processor Pro. Supports Instax SHARE SP-3 and higher resolution prints for SP-2. Allows users to choose RGB and brightness histogram with or without highlight warnings. Improves radio flash controller usability allowing users to shoot with compatible third party studio flash in high speed sync or TTL mode via their radio controllers. Supports backup and restore of camera settings from one camera to another via FUJIFILM X Acquire.
