Never fear, the latest Fuji X-Pro1 firmware is
here!
This is actually a significant development for X-Pro1 users and it would give
you a rather huge upgrade in overall camera performance should you download it.
Now, a complaint of the initial Fuji X-Pro1 firmware was the apparent slowness
of the system especially with start-up time and more importantly the autofocus.
This firmware update once installed on the X-Pro1 and Fujinon XF lenses
corrects this and much more, as explained in Fujifilm’s Press Release:

Improved
Auto Focus¹ Speed
Auto Focus mode will offer faster focussing
in challenging lighting conditions where light is low or bright. Focus distance
has also been improved, allowing you to capture a great shot closer to the
subject without switching to Macro mode.
Improved
Manual Focus Performance
When turning the focus ring, the speed of the
image coming into focus has been greatly improved. It is also much easier to
focus when adjusting the focus ring using the electronic viewfinder or the LCD
panel on the back of the camera, always displaying the image closer to full
aperture with minimum depth of field.
Additional
3x Magnification for Checking Focus
An extra 3x magnification is now available
with the new firmware, adding to the existing 10x magnification focus check on
the X-Pro1. It is now also possible to find the optimum focus point when
viewing the entire screen.
Improved
Writing / Processing Speed
The new firmware provides improved writing
speed to a memory card. At maximum speed the X-Pro1 can now write to a memory
card twice as fast².
Improved Playback Speed
Image playback now takes less than one second
after pressing the image playback button.
Additional Feature
The ISO setting now includes Auto (6400).
Users: For best results, update the firmware on both the camera and the Fujinon XF lenses at the same time.
