Fujifilm has officially announced the Fujifilm TG-BT1 Tripod Grip.
The TG-BT1 allows you to record movies, take photographs, or adjust zoom on compatible power zoom lenses (XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR and XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ) while holding this Bluetooth tripod grip.
Recently Fujifilm and Adobe announced Frame.io support for the Fujifilm X-H2s.
Down below you can find a few videos explaining and showcasing how it will work.
To me it looks like there is a huge potential in this. It might even revolutionize the workflow of many photographers in future.
Imagine you shoot a wedding. Connect the camera to your phone or the local WiFi network, and while you shoot all your RAW files are instantly uploaded to the cloud as a backup. Then you come home and all the images are already available on Frame.io with no need to download them from your memory card.
Or sports photographers, who need to get the images to their editor as quickly as possible. No more dazzle with uploads. Just connect the camera and shoot. Your editor will pick live the images he needs.
Or if you are in conflict zones and a simple connection will allow you to instantly secure all your files.
And all the technology needed to make it work, already exists.
Fujifilm will be Adobes first partner in this regard along with RED. The Fujifilm X-H2S C2C support will come via a firmware update in spring 2023. You’ll need the new Fujifilm FT-XH file transmitter grip for this purpose.
In the talk with CineD, the manager does not exclude the possibility that it might work also on Fujfilm X-H2 one day, although he was very vague on this, elegantly eluding to give a clear answer, but also not wanting to totally rule out any possibility for that to happen.
In the lastest Fujicast episode, Kevin and Neale have, among the others, a talk with Fujifilm UK manager Andreas Georghiades and they also go to the Fujifilm headquarter in Japan and talk to product planers.
Needless to say, the talk mostly gravitates around the Fujifilm X-T5. Down below is a summary as well as the podcast to listen.
It’s not a dealbreaker, but a dubious choice Fujifilm made: on the Fujifilm X-H2S and the Fujifilm X-H2, the front and rear command dial are not clickable.
From what I have read, this was done to prevent accidental change of ISO value, and some even say it helps for even better weather sealing.
Quite frankly, none of these explanations convinces me.
And this is why, when I asked what you’d like to know about the Fujifilm X-T5, the question if the X-T5 will have clickable dials or not came up quite a bit.
Well, today I can give you the answer: the Fujifilm X-T5 front and rear command dial will be still clickable.
Personally I am very happy about that.

Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-H2 and the Fujifilm X-H2s.
It is mostly about proper support for the Fujifilm FT-XH file transmitter grip, which starts shipping in these days, but there are also some bug fixes.
You can check out all details below.
One of the questions you guys asked me, was if the Fujifilm X-T5 will use the joystick design we find on the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T4 or if Fujifilm will move to the newer design they use on the Fujifilm GFX100S and Fujifilm X-H2 and X-H2s.
Well, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X-T5 will use the “older” design we have on the X-T4.
I have cameras with the “old” joystick design (X-E3 and X-T4) and with the newer one (GFX100S). Personally I am fine with both designs. As long as I have an AF joystick I am happy. But feel free to let us know in the comments which one you prefer.

We have just share the rumor about the Fujifilm X-T5 having a 3 way tilt screen.
But I realized that I never made any Fujifilm X-T5 rumor-recap list in the various X-T5 rumors, so I thought I make one now that I will re-share and keep updated in future Fujifilm X-T5 rumors
