SUMMARY
The Fujifilm X-Half compact camera has been updated with firmware version 2.0, which adds a new 'Soft Glow' filter designed to replicate the look of diffusion filters or older, softer film lenses by softening highlights. This update also introduces 12 and 24-frame options to the camera's film mode, allowing for shorter shooting rolls. Additionally, the firmware includes performance enhancements such as improved start-up times, autofocus timing, and reduced shot-to-shot delay.
