Nikon F mount to Fujifilm X mount Smart AF Adapter New Features and Coming Soon

Fringer Nikon F to Fujifilm X Smar AF Adapter

Press Release

New feature of Fringer NF-FX adapter: LaCA correction

Fringer NF-FX (Nikon F mount to Fujifilm X mount) smart adapter will be released soon. Today we’d like to introduce an interesting feature of the adapter, i.e. LaCA correction.

LaCA, stands for lateral chromatic aberration, is resulting from a difference of image scale at different wavelength of red, green and blue light. LaCA causes colored fringes at high contrast edges of the image.

When we shoot RAW, LaCA can be easily removed by post processing. However, a key feature of Fujifilm cameras is their film simulation. In other words, we usually use the jpeg files directly out of the camera with few post processing. When using native X mount lenses, there is no problem since Fujifilm cameras will correct all the LaCA automatically. But when using adapted lenses, LaCA become a problem.

Fringer NF-FX has a built-in LaCA correction profile data base for all the lenses that have been tested and optimized (see this list). When shooting jpegs, the adapter will provide the LaCA correction profile of current lens to the camera automatically. The latter will use that profile to correct LaCA when generating jpeg pictures. Finally, user get a jpeg photo directly out of the camera which is LaCA free.

Please see the following example.

Fuji Guys Explain Fujifilm Camera Remote App and How to Fix Connection Issues (Sort of)

 

Fujifilm Camera Remote App

The Fuji Guys published a short video, where they talk about the Fujifilm camera remote App.

They say this video is for those, who download the App for the first time or if you are having any troubles with the App itself.

The issues can happen for example if you updated your smartphone.

In this case, the Fuji Guys recommend to delete the App as well as to delete the pairing registration in your camera menu connection settings.

Then download the Fujifilm Camera Remote App again and pair camera and smartphone again.

When you try to transfer images on your phone, the camera might ask you to start up the Fujifilm camera remote App. If the camera does not connect to the smartphone, click “Change – OK” on the camera.

Why this? Francis says:

because if you use the camera on your iPad and on your iPhone, you need to change the registration for which device is going to be using

Done that, click on “join name of your camera  wifi network” and wait for the camera and phone to connect.

In my experience this works sometimes to get things going, but not always. Sometimes I can try whatever I want, and it does not connect. Usually I fix it by getting a beer, waiting a while, and try again. Sometimes that works!

Anyway, thanks Fujifilm, we appreciate the effort in explaining the issue. But do you want to do really something cool? Well, then check out the Panasonic camera remote App and copy that one 1:1.

Lots of things make me happy in the Fuji world… the App is not one of them.
