Cascable Remote Control App Update introduces Shutter Robot Recipes… And Time for Fujifilm to Redesign their Camera Remote App!

Share

** thanks to VatArt Photo for sharing ***

Cascable, a small Swedish company working on tools for the modern photographer, released an update to their iOS photography app Cascable that introduces Shutter Robot Recipes — a photography automation tool available on mobile platforms.

Introducing Shutter Robot Recipes! Recipes are an extension to our Shutter Robot feature that allow you to automate your camera in exactly the way you want. Using the Recipes Editor, you assemble a series of camera setting adjustments and shutter triggers together in whichever way you’d like. Once you’ve constructed the perfect recipe, Cascable’s Shutter Robot can run it against any camera that supports the features the recipe uses.

Shutter Robot Recipes works with all of Cascable’s supported cameras and allow complete freedom and creativity when building time-lapse, exposure bracket sequence, or any other series of shots you can think of. You can find out more about the Recipes feature at cascable.se/ios/recipes.

Keep in mind that it does NOT support Fujifilm RAW files, only JPEG. I have asked Cascable about it and they told me:

“Unfortunately, Fujifilm cameras won’t allow access to RAW images over WiFi. If you have your camera set to RAW or RAW+JPEG before connecting, RAW images will be created but you won’t be able to see them through Cascable. We plan to add support for the X-T2’s improved wireless tethering mode later in the year, which should allow access to RAW images for that camera.”

All in all it looks like a lovely app, and definitely something Fujifilm should take as a reference for their own Camera Remote App, which could really need a redesign and improvement.

And btw, I have tested the new geotagging via bluetooth on the Camera Remote app, and I have shared some tips to make it work best here.

Fujifilm X-T3 no IBIS

According to the first feedback from our sources, the Fujifilm X-T3 will not have IBIS.

So, for now, IBIS seems to be a feature reserved for the Fujifilm X-H1, which will be announced on February 15 – full rumored X-H1 specs here.

The Fujifilm X-T3 will be announced around photokina 2018 (probably a bit earlier) and have a new X-Trans sensor with less than 30 Megapixel and a new processor – this and more details in this article.

IBIS, Good or Bad… or Both? We have written comprehensively about it here.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter to follow the Fujifilm X-T3 rumor novel.

Fujifilm GFX is Tough (Tougher Than Sony ;) )

We already reported here, how the Fujifilm GFX 50S faced an extreme blizzard, and came out with absolutely no problems ;).

And knowing that the Fujifilm GFX it’s so tough, also our fellow GFX owners at the facebook group are not scared to use it under extreme conditions.

John Rourke for example is not afraid to let his Fujifilm GFX in the snow, as you can see here. Here is what he says about his GFX.

still shooting strong on everyday temperatures of -8 to -17 in Switzerland“.

Another GFX shooter, Graham Welland, took it out in the rain forest. He shares his experience here.

Weatherproof testing in the rain forest, literally pouring rain and dripping camera.

Only problem area was the EVF. A drop of water blocked the eye sensor enough that the LCD flipped to the EVF. Took a minute to work out what had happened (ie camera hadn’t failed) and once I soaked that up we were back in action.”

Looks like the Fujifilm GFX is tougher than the Sony A7RIII, which failed in a recent weather sealing test made by imaging-resource here on youtube.

Hcam Double Shifter

Our Fujifilm GFX group is also a great resource to find any GFX related news, and inspiration of content not only for FujiRumors ;) .

plus the perfectly matching Mirex M645, P645/ 67
or Hasselblad V/F adapters.

The Kitprice for both adapters is 1695,-€ for all versions.
