A lot has been written about the V3.0 Firmware update for the X-T1 that was made available for free by Fujifilm on the 18th December, so much so I am not going to do a blow by blow report on each change that Fujifilm introduced for the camera that was launched at the start of 2014.  I will say that the update has introduced some interesting additions and some that are actually useful. The one change that I was very interested in was the electronic shutter that allows shutter speeds up to 1/32000th second, a lot faster than the existing 1/4000th second using the mechanical shutter.  Because I love using the fast prime lenses (35mm f1.4 and 56mm f1.2) I, like many other Fuji photographers either had to step the aperture down in bright conditions (negating the main reason for owning these lenses) or fit an ND filter, which I do have for both these fast lenses.  Allowing the camera to shoot at 1/32000 means that I don’t have to do either of these things in the future……
