Since first being announced a month ago (here’s our original write-up), Fujifilm has finally dropped its V2.0 firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T3 (as well as the X-H1). The X-T3 in particular has been a hot commodity for filmmakers and video professionals as it stacks up quite nicely in comparisons with the other mirrorless offerings on the market.

Here’s a good 4K Mirrorless Video Quality Comparison (EOS R, BMPCC 4K, Z7, A7III, X-T3) to check out.

So we’ve been excitedly waiting on this new update for the Fujifilm X-T3 and its updated 4K HDR and clip limit. Full details and download instructions below.

Fujifilm X-T3 Firmware Update V2.0

The big news for the X-T3 is definitely the addition of supporting 4K HDR video recording in Hybrid Log Gamme (HGL), which allows for capturing richer and more dynamic footage with a wider highlight shadow range.

However, many film and video professionals have really been interested in news about the V2.0 firmware update dropping the 4GB clip limit. There is a caveat though as you’ll need to make sure that you’re using SD cards 64GB or larger, and your clips will no longer be split past 4GB.

  • 4K HDR video recording in Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG)

  • In-body image stabilization and optical image stabilization now work together to improve overall stability.
  • Recording over 4GB movie file as one file (Movie files are no longer split when the file reaches 4GB file size. The file is recorded as one file providing an SD memory card greater than 32GB is used)
