Features of trip meters in Fujifilm X-series cameras

The mystery of stylish cameras: How does Fujifilm record?

Fujifilm X-series cameras (X-T3, X-T4, X-PRO3, X-H2) are loved by photographers for their retro design and chic simulations films. But when they bring a Fujik to my service before purchasing on Avito, we are faced with a feature of the counters this brand.

What is the nuance of Fujifilm shutter recording?

Rounding of the `ImageCount` counter for older models

Unlike Nikon, which honestly records every single shot (`14,532`, `14,533`), Fujifilm Some generations of firmware (especially X-T1, X-T2, X-E2) included **rounding the counter to hundreds of frames**!

  • You took a photo - the site displays `14,500`. We took another 40 frames - the site will still display `14,500`. Only when take more than 100 frames, the number will change to `14,600`.
  • In modern models (X-T4, X-T5, X-H2s) recording is done individually.

Electronic shutter vs Mechanical shutter at Fujifilm

Fujifilm photographers love using the electronic shutter (ES), because the cameras shoot up to 20-30 frames per second absolute silence. In the EXIF report for Fuji, it is important to look specifically at the difference between `ImageCount` and the number electronic shootings.
