In addition, the size of the AF area can now be adjusted during video recording. The update will bring new life to the X-T3, adding greater speed to make a great camera even better.<\/p>\n<h2>Main updated features:<\/h2>\n<p>Due to be released on October 28, 2020Firmware version: FUJIFILM X-T3\uff08Ver. 4.0\uff09<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>1. Faster autofocus performance<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The fastest AF speed has been improved from 0.06 seconds to 0.02 seconds, equivalent to the performance of the X-T4. The algorithm for predicting subject movements has also been updated which means the expected \u2018hit rate\u2019 is now 90% or more , making it even more likely that users will capture that precious moving photo moment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AF tracking performance has been doubled<sup>*<\/sup>. Press the shutter button halfway down when a subject is in \u00a0the focus area to maintain focus on the subject with a higher level of accuracy.<\/li>\n<li>The Face Tracking \/ Eye AF performance has also been upgraded. The algorithm has been re-written to double* the tracking performance of the Eye AF in continuous shooting modes. The camera can attain focus on a face or eyes quicker and more accurately even when shooting portraits that involve some movement.<\/li>\n<li>The update also allows the camera AF to work in low light levels down to -7EV<sup>**<\/sup>, facilitating fast and highly-accurate phase detection AF even in near darkness.<\/li>\n<li>The new firmware adds the \u201cFocus Limiter\u201d function which gives a pre-define specific focus range.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><sub>*When compared with the Firmware Ver. 3.30<br \/>\n<\/sub><sub>**When using the FUJINON Lens XF50mmF1.0 R WR<\/sub><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>2.
