(Digital Photography Review)

Fujifilm has announced plans to release future firmware updates for its X-T3 mirrorless camera. The first update to version 3.10 will arrive in mid-December, according to a release from the company published on Wednesday. The update scheduled for release in mid-December will bring `controls for video recording from Gimbal / Drone via USB communications,` according to Fujifilm, meaning X-T3 owners will be able to remotely operate their camera when mounted on a drone and gimbal setup that supports the function. This same functionality will also be released for the X-T30 and other models not specified at this time. Up until now, the cameras have only offered remote video start/stop via the 2.5mm remote socket, rather than offering control over USB. The firmware version 3.20 update is scheduled for release in January 2020 and will bring `enhanced autofocus` with better eye AF frame tracking and face-detection performance, as well as improved autofocus when it comes to foreground subjects. Additionally, version 3.20 will add support for saving up to 9,999 images in each folder on the SD card, a dramatic increase from the current 999 limit.
