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

All these, and I'd also like to see improvemnts to the AF assist lamp. I often find it activates fairly randomly. Sometimes it activates in low light (good) sometimes in good light (not needed) and sometimes it fails to activate in low light (when I need it). I'd like to see something like: if the AF fails to lock and focus is retried within 3 seconds, the AF lamp automatically activates.


- - 2.a Shutter Lag with the remote RR-90. Arggggggh! 3/4 of a second with the remote. The lens is prefocused in manual mode. The exposure is manual too. Everything should be lightning fast. And when I press the remote's shutter button, I have to wait 750 millisecond for the camera to fire. Unacceptable!!!

I don't have this problem, the lag with my RR-90 is the same as using the on camera shutter button in all modes (AF, MF, manual exposure, auto exposure etc)

I bought my RR-90 a feew months ago for about £30 from fujifilms online UK shop. for the build quality I thought that price was a bit too high, however I noticed a few weeks ago the price is now £99. The only explanations I can think of are either a recent (unanounced?) redesign, or the put the price up to coincide with the release of the X-T1
