Fuji X-T1 Firmware 4.3 update problems - how to handle?

[thesquire]

I have been reading about the X-T1 FW update 4.30 causing multiple problems for owners. How much truth is there to this, and, if so, should one just run the 4.2 FW update and wait for a fix?

I haven't heard or read anything about firmware 4.30 causing problems. I am also not aware of any 4.3 related issues that would need fixing, so waiting for a fix for something that probably doesn't exist doesn't sound like a good strategy.

Btw, can you elaborate in the exact nature of these multiple problems?

Flysurfer - Thanks for the information. You are correct. I dug a little deeper and discovered that the person who described erratic behaviours from his X-T1 after the 4.30 upgrade finally had to send his camera to Fuji for a repair to its electronics which were the real cause of the problems he was having. FW 4.30 was not the culprit. The posts I had encountered were on the Fuji-X-Forums site.
