GFX Firmware download Cant Open Up .......
« on: July 27, 2018, 09:39:46 am »

I currently have Ver 3.0 and trying to Update to 3.2   Went to Fuji Website and downloaded it
  When I tried to open it this is the message I got:   Safari cant open the file      GXUP0001-3.DAT because no available application can open it.   
  What can I do to get the Update ?  Thank you

Did you mean to post here?

Isn't the idea that you copy the file onto a flash card and run it on the camera, not open it in Safari? There are instructions on the download page.

John is right here.
- You copy the .DAT file onto an SD card.
- Put the SD card in your GFX
- Hold down the Display button and turn on the camera
- The camera will offer to update, asking if it's the lens or the body you are updating, choose body
- Follow the steps on the camera from there.

You don't need to click on the "download to open it" if it is a dat file. Simply copy it onto the SD card.

I have done this firmware update with my XT2 and Fuji's instructions were very precise. You really need to follow them to the letter.

If you're still struggling it might be easier to watch a video -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hllQbI0Fduw

This covers the X-T2 but the X-H1 should be no different.  He copies the file over at about 3 minutes in.
