New firmware (v2.20) is available for Fringer EF/FX smart adapters

Finally, X-H1's IBIS works properly!

The new firmware has changed IS control logics of both IS lenses and camera's IBIS functions.

- For lenses with IS (or OS/VC)

When IS switch on the lens is on, IS function is controlled by camera menu. Mode 1 (Continuous): IS function is always on. Mode 2 (Shooting only): IS function is activated when shutter release button half-pressed and deactivated about 2 seconds after its release. Be noted that if camera body has IBIS, it will be disabled if a lens with built-in IS function is installed.

- For lenses without IS function installed on a camera with IBIS.

Begin with V2.20, IBIS function of X-H1 works properly. It’s controlled by the menu, i.e. Mode 1 (Continuous), Mode 2 (Shooting only) and OFF, which is similar to native XF lenses without built-in IS function.

Be noted, IBIS performance of lenses longer than 100mm may be poor.

In addition to IS function change, following lenses have been added to tested and opimized lens list.

  • EF100/2L
  • EF-S10-22/3.5-4.5
  • Sigma105/2.8 EX OS HSM Macro

And following lenses have been improved in AF performance or new lens firmware compatibility.

  • Sigma 50/1.4 ART
  • Sigma 85/1.4 ART
  • Sigma 17-50/2.8 OS
  • Sigma 50-100/1.8 ART
  • Sigma 24/1.4 ART
  • Sigma 135/1.8 ART
