UPDATED: Notification of FUJIFILM Camera Remote with “iOS13” Smartphones

Share

December 20, 2019 updated

About the compatibility of FUJIFILM Camera Remote with iOS13 devices, we are still checking it. We have confirmed the case that the Camera Remote cannot recognize a camera’s SSID * due to the change of the OS.

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.

“Soon the Fujifilm GFX System will Make Full Frame Difficult to Choose” – Fujifilm GFX100 Review

Share

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.

Back in October he published this captivating and controversial video called “Bye bye full frame“, as he believed the X-T3 was one good reason not to go full frame. If you want to see and read his arguing, check out this article.

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

Friidesign Trilens for Fujifilm X Available

Share

Back in August we reported about the Friidesign Trilens for Fujifilm X.

Now a limited number is available at the Friidesign Trilens page here.

We’re currently shipping a small batch of Fuji mount TriLens™ before Christmas. This batch is limited and will resupply in the beginning of 2020.

A similar product for Fujifilm X is already offered by Fotodiox. It’s the Fotodiox Pro lens cycler with mounts for 2x Fujifilm X series lenses. But that one holds only 2 lenses, and not 3.
