With 4 cameras and 4 lenses released in 2019, Fujifilm has a little bit slowed down, if we compare it to the Fujifilm year 2018 (7 new cameras and 6 lenses) and to the Fuji year 2017 (4 cameras and 8 lenses).
We apologize for your inconvenience and would appreciate it if you could understand the current situation.
For your reference, tentative solutions below can make the Wi-Fi connection more stable.
1. Change the Location setting to ON.
Settings＞Privacy＞Location Services ON
Settings＞Cam Remote＞Location＞“While Using the App” or “Always”
2. Change the Bluetooth setting to ON.**
Settings＞Bluetooth＞Bluetooth ON
Settings＞Cam Remote＞Bluetooth ON
3. Change the setting of “Auto-Join Hotspot” to Never.
Settings>Wi-Fi> Auto-Join Hotspot >Never
4. Change the Wi-Fi Assist to OFF.
Settings＞Cellular＞Wi-Fi Assist OFF
5. Turn off a smartphone and turn it on again.
* In case that the tentative solutions don’t work.
Upgrade the OS to the latest version.
If the camera and the Camera Remote are paired via Bluetooth, carry out the “RESET WIRELESS SETTING” of the camera and “Reset APP settings” of the Camera Remote and connect them again from the initial setting.
* When FUJIFILM application software communicates with a camera, it tries to recognize the network name of the camera (SSID) for WiFi connection.
** Try the solution only when the camera and the Camera Remote are paired via Bluetooth.
Fujifilm has a clear strategy: do not join the overcrowded mirrorless full frame war, dominate APS-C and MF, and then attack full frame from both sides.
If that will work, only time will tell.
But GxAce seems to be one of those, who thinks this strategy could actually work out well for Fujifilm.
Now he also reviewed the Fujifilm GFX100, and he says that:
in a few years, when the features and reliability and performance of the GFX100 trickle down to cheaper cost models, it really will make full frame difficult to choose over the alternative
Looking at the fact, that already now 70% of GFX users come from Full Frame, as a Fujifilm manager officially said here, he might not be too far off with his prediciton.
You can see the full review above and read a summary below.
it surprised him how similar it was to a Fujifilm X-T3, in the way it performs and handles
10,000 seem much, but it’s priced around a top tier DSLR
it’s by far the easiest and most reliable medium format to use
images are just ridiculous
it’s actually a light camera
futuristic and modern looking design, he likes that
he’d like that “cyper-punk” design also for the X-T line
very good battery life
AF is not as good for video as it is for stills. He shoots manual focus in video anyway
he used an anamorphic adapter
the GFX100 opens up doors to get similar aesthetic look to an Alexa 65 or an Imax camera, for a fraction of the cost
he’d live Indie filmmakers to make videos on GFX100 instead of a Red or Blackmagic. You get a look that isn’t possible with those cameras, unless you go up an spend $100,000 for an Arri Alexa
this camera is a paradigm shift in photography
first MF camera that functions and works just as easily and as conveniently as your tipical mirrorless camera
a huge step in terms of bringing medium format to the everyday person
in a few years, when the features and reliability and performance of this camera trickles down to cheaper cost models, it really will make full frame difficult to choose over the alternative
