THE Fujifilm X-M5 is a new camera scheduled for release later this month, already sparking interest among budding content creators and vloggers for its high-performance AF and 6K video recording.

The objective of the accompanying kit is to Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lensand Fujifilm has just released a firmware update that optimizes compatibility between the lens and the Fujifilm X-M5 and X-T50 cameras by fixing a recurring issue.

The official firmware notes are as follows:

“Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens (Version 1.12)

Updating firmware Ver.1.12 from Ver.1.11 includes the following issue:

The following software issue is supposed to be resolved with version 1.11, but the same issue is observed to still occur in rare cases under certain shooting conditions. This is the revised firmware to fix the bug even in the above conditions.

• The lens initializes unintentionally and automatically retracts once and returns to its original position frequently when using the latest X-T50 and X-M5 cameras.

The new Ver.1.12 firmware update comes just days after Fujifilm released the Ver.1.11 update, which, judging by the new notes, was not as effective in fixing the issue as expected .

The issue, hopefully now resolved, is lens compatibility with the X-M5 and X-T50. A phenomenon would occur where the lens would automatically extend and retract frequently without indication, as if involuntarily searching for focus. Of course, this affects the shooting experience and prevents the camera and lens from performing to their full potential.

This is a significant update, especially since the Fujifilm XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens is the new kit lens for the new Fujifilm X-M5. Many new users will purchase the camera kit lens pack and may only have the kit lens to use. So it’s a good job that the update was released by Fujifilm before its release!
