I have missed it; thanks for posting it.

To get some more feedback I googled it and came up with a couple of negative comments:

"Oct 21, 2022
After updating to this firmware, I have noticed that the whirring sound that the OIS normally makes when the camera is turned on has gotten noticeably louder. It was audible in a quiet room from up close even before (with firmware 3.22), but now you can clearly hear it even from a distance of 3-4 feet. It is the same with both of my cameras (X-T2, X-E3).
Anybody else has experienced this?"

Updated the 18-55 and I have a weird noise now, like a motor squeezing with no reason. hear it at start up and it can last as long as 10 seconds, I would advise against updating if you have no problem currently especially when the improvements are not even noticeable."

Not from the most credible sources (I know, you can find lots of weird stuff if you try :-), but just may be worth noticing. Having a very good copy (from 2012) I am somewhat apprehensive to change anything since it is not possible to load a previous update...

Too bad that Fujifilm does not explain the "special conditions" mentioned in the update.
