X-Pro1
http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xpro1/index.html
X-E1
http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xe1/index.html


Details of X-Pro1 update
(1) Firmware version: 2.05
(2) Change from ver.2.04 to ver.2.05
1) Operability is improved to change settings easier and quicker by “single-hand”.
a. “Focus Frame Selection” option is added to “Fn” (function) button.
b. One more “Fn” function (No.2) is added to the down key of the “Selector”.
In the “Fn BUTTON” on the SHOOTING MENU, selection of “Fn BUTTON” or “▼SELECTOR” is
added. The default setting of the added Fn function (No.2) is “Focus Frame Selection”.
2) Function to enable “Command dial” to control aperture setting for XF lens without an aperture ring is
added.
This function is for the XF27mmF2.8 and XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS which don’t have an aperture
ring. On the Shooting Mode, “APERTURE SETTING” is added and one of “AUTO+MANUAL”,
“AUTO” and “MANUAL” can be selected.
<Note>
The “APERTURE SETTING” will be newly appeared, but it is not selectable unless either
XF27mmF2.8 or XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS is attached to a camera.

3. Detail of X-E1
(1) Firmware version: 1.06
(2) Change from ver.1.05 to ver.1.06
Same as the change of X-Pro1.
 

4. Updating steps for X-Pro1 and X-E1
Steps of updating are as follows:
1) Copy the file of the updated firmware to the root directory of your SD card.
(Copy the file directly to the SD card.)
2) Put the SD card into the camera without any XF Lens attached.
3) Turn on the camera while pressing DISP/BACK button.
<Notice> Use fully charged batteries.
4) Follow the direction in the LCD screen.
5) When the update is completed, turn off the camera.
6) Turn on the camera while pressing DISP/BACK button to check the firmware version.
