Fujifilm just released a new firmware update for the X-T20, which adds some important features. 

Number one, it gets new AF tracking algorithms, which improves autofocus when photographing moving subjects using AF-C Mode.

It also adds some touch screen features which are already found on the X-E3, support for the new FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO software, (read my review here), and "Backup & Restore Camera Settings" via USB, which allows you to copy settings from one camera to the next, using FUJIFILM X Acquire software.

In addition, it adds the RGB Histogram/Highlight Warning feature, improved wireless radio flash usability and more. 

In addition to my upcoming Tanzania VIP Photo Safari in Aug/Sept, 2018, we've just added another FUJIFILM X Photographers Nature & Travel Summit for this fall. 

The 2018 FUJIFILM Summit will be in The Great Smoky Mountains, Oct 31-Nov 4. This three and a half day workshop will be led by Jack Graham, Bill Fortney and me, and we'll be sharing our insight (along with loaner X Series/GFX gear) and help you get the most from your Fujifilm camera system. 

We had a wonderful time on both of our 2017 FUJIFILM Summit, so I hope you can join us for the 2018 version this fall?

Also, I'll be doing three camera store presentations and a photo hike later in a few weeks down in the Southwest. So far, I have three dates set: April 28 in Las Vegas, May 3 in Riverside, CA and May 5 in Palm Springs, CA. These are all free events, but space is limited. See more info here.

This week, Skylum released a major update to Luminar 2018. The "Jupiter" update gives a significant speed and performance boost to Luminar and adds a number of features to the Windows version.

Perhaps the number one improvement is that it opens RAW files WAY faster now. Also, you'll get even better image quality from your RAW conversions.

The Jupiter update is free if you already use Luminar 2018. If you're using an old version of Luminar or if you haven't tried Luminar, you can update/purchase the program for a discount. Be sure and use coupon code DANBAILEY to get the $10 savings.
