1.1 THE BASICS (1): THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR CAMERA
In case you have misplaced your user manual, or if you want to update to a newer edition of the manual, you can obtain downloadable PDF versions [01] in all supported languages. You will also find supplementary material that covers new features and changes based on firmware updates.
Please do yourself a big favor and thoroughly study this manual to get acquainted with the different functions of your X-T20, and don’t forget that your lenses come with a user manual, as well. This book doesn’t replace the X-T20 camera manual; it serves as an enhancement to the manual, and offers valuable tips and background information about how to use the various features and functions of the X-T20 and make the most of your equipment.
The X-T20 is a very compact camera, which means that the rechargeable battery is also rather small. Depending on how you use your camera, a fully charged battery will last for 250 to 400 shots.
I recommend setting the camera to High Performance Mode (SET UP > POWER MANAGEMENT > PERFORMANCE > HIGH PERFORMANCE) in order to secure the best autofocus and overall performance.
Please note:
Unlike previous models, the X-T20 features an accurate battery indicator with five bars and a percentage display.
In shooting mode, the percentage display is only available in the INFO display of the LCD monitor. To activate the INFO display, (repeatedly) press the DISP/BACK button until the INFO display appears on the monitor. In playback mode, the percentage indicator is also available in the INFO display, which can be accessed with the DISP/BACK button or by pressing the upper selector key to cycle through two extended image information pages.
When the battery indicator shows one remaining red bar, it’s almost time to replace the battery.
Your X-T20 is using NP-W126S rechargeable batteries. This type of battery is also used in Fujifilm’s X-Pro1, X-Pro2, X-E1, X-E2, X-T1, X-T2, X-T10, X-M1, X-A1, X-A2, X-A3, X-A10, and X100F cameras, and can be interchanged between these models.
You can also use older NP-W126-type batteries. The difference between the regular and the S-type batteries is their ability to manage heat. For high-performance applications such as long 4K video recordings in a hot environment, the newer NP-W126S type, which is more efficient at managing heat, may be favorable. However, if you already own a bunch of older NP-W126 batteries, there’s no reason not to use them in your X-T20.
You can obtain NP-W126S batteries from Fujifilm, or you can use compatible products from a variety of third-party vendors. Sadly, not all aftermarket batteries offer the same quality, safety, and capacity as the more expensive Fujifilm batteries. You are likely to experience inaccurate battery life displays with third-party offerings, and the camera may unexpectedly switch off with an empty battery even though the indicator shows there was some power left. To avoid such trouble, use original Fujifilm NP-W126 or NP-W126S batteries.
If you store your camera for a longer period without a charged battery, the X-T20’s built-in emergency power source may run out of juice, and all camera and user settings will reset to factory conditions.
Fig. 4: Fujifilm’s original NP-W126S battery is without doubt the safest and best performing choice for your new X-T20. It’s also the most expensive.
Along with spare batteries, the aftermarket also offers chargers that work with regular power outlets, USB ports, or a car’s cigarette lighter jack. This way, you can charge your batteries not only at home or in your hotel room, but also on your computer’s USB port or when you are traveling in a car or plane.
While traveling, don’t forget that different countries use different formats for power outlets, so you may want to carry a suitable travel adapter. A particularly small and practical solution is the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit [02]. It contains adapters for North America, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong. The adapters connect directly to the charger that comes with your X-T20 (no cable required). You can also use them with chargers for your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, etc.).
Fig. 5: Some third-party chargers can get their power from more than one source, such as power outlets, USB ports, and car cigarette lighter jacks.
As an alternative to external battery chargers, the battery can also be charged inside the X-T20 via the camera’s USB port. Use a USB 2 micro cable to connect the X-T20 to pretty much any power source with a USB port, such as your laptop or your cell phone charger.
Fujifilm keeps improving the firmware of the X-T20 and XF/XC lenses.
To check which firmware version is installed in your camera and lens, switch the camera on while pressing and holding the DISP/BACK button.
Find and download the latest firmware versions [03] for your camera and lenses. While you are there, can also download current versions of Fuji’s application software, such as RAW File Converter EX.
A step-by-step video guide illustrating the firmware upgrade process is available online [04]. At this Fujifilm support website, macOS [05] and Windows [06] users can also find detailed firmware download instructions for their operating systems.
If you can’t find a new firmware version on Fuji’s firmware update page, there’s a good chance that your web browser is still caching an older version of this page. In this case, either delete your browser cache or force your browser to reload the webpage from the server.
Make sure that your computer doesn’t change the name of firmware files you download due to naming conflicts caused by previous firmware versions that are still residing in your download folder. The correct file name of the camera firmware for your X-T20 is always FWUP0013. DAT.
Make sure your battery is fully charged when updating your firmware.
Always copy new firmware
