How to Install the Firmware Update

Updating your cameras takes only a few minutes. Follow these official steps provided by Fujifilm:

1. Download the correct firmware file (.DAT format) for your specific GFX camera model from Fujifilm’s download portal.
2. Insert an SD or CFexpress memory card into your computer via a card reader and format it.
3. Copy the downloaded firmware file to the root directory (top level) of your card without placing it inside any folders.
4. Insert the memory card along with a fully charged NP-W235 battery into your camera body.
5. Hold down the DISP/BACK button while turning on the camera to access the update menu.
6. Select Firmware Update, follow the on-screen prompts, and allow up to five minutes for completion.
7. Once complete, turn off the camera, remove the card, and recheck the firmware version in the menu to confirm installation.

Should You Update?

Yes. Although version 1.22 (GFX100S II) and version 2.51 (GFX100 II) do not introduce new Film Simulations or shooting modes, applying routine stability patches prevents unexpected camera lockups during critical assignments. For owners of the GFX100RF Fragment Edition, installing version 1.13 is strongly recommended to maintain seamless smartphone connectivity via FUJIFILM XApp.
