The [Fujifilm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilmxe5) X-T1 [mirrorless camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sigma) comes with a significant firmware update that allows users to enjoy numerous great enhancements particularly in the realm of autofocus. The camera now has New Zone and Wide/Tracking modes, which use 77 points across a wider area, making moving subjects easier to capture. The camera also has Eye Detection Autofocus, Auto Marco mode and various other enhancements.

This updated camera also features boosted [Shutter Speed Dial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-zs99) which allows for use of an Exposure Compensation dial while shooting in Manual exposure mode. In a subtle but useful change, Silent Mode has also been renamed to 'Sound & Flash Off' to avoid confusion.

The Fujifilm X-T1 is a camera that offers photographers a range of tools, helping them to capture the best image possible.
