Re: X-M1 and X-A1 Complaints and 5 Firmware upgrade requests.

I agree with those and would add a few more:

Exposure bracketing
At least allow bracketing in 2EV increments, and preferably allow bracketing up to 7 images.

Image review with RAW
RAW files can't be reviewed closely because the embedded JPEG is reduced size. Either record full size JPEG previews in the RAW files or don't embed JPEG previews when set to shoot RAW+JPEG.
Or use the same system as the S5 Pro, where with image review after shot turned on, you can view the full size image from the buffer. I'd prefer either of the first two options though.

Rear curtain flash sync with non Fuji flashes
I realise that this can be tricky with non-communicating flashes since the camera can't tell how long the flash duration will be. But I'm pretty sure something like trigger the flash 2ms before the shutter closes would be fine with most flashes.

Manual flash
Allow setting the power of the built-in flash manually, so no pre-flash is fired.
