Fujifilm’s X and GFX Series Cams Get a Ton of New Updates

The year 2024 was a busy one for Fujifilm, with the Japanese multinational conglomerate releasing several new cameras and lenses into the greater filmmaking, video production, and hybrid digital content industry. And now 2025 is looking like it might be more of the same, as Fujifilm has teased some new cameras and gear to drop soon.

But, perhaps more notably for right now at least, Fujifilm has just dropped a huge bundle of firmware updates set to hit a wide range of the company’s X-series and GFX-series cameras. The updates will bring some new features, functions, and improvements to Fuji cameras, including the X-T5, X100VI, X-H2, X-H2S, X-T50, X-M5, GFX100S, and GFX100.

If you’re an owner, renter, or fan of any of the above, check out the latest firmware updates below and see about getting your Fujifilm camera (or cameras) updated today.
