FUJIFILM Camera Remote 4.7.1 Adds Fujifilm X-H2S Support

Fujifilm Camera Remote 4.7.1 update has been released with support for the Fujifilm X-H2S.

  • Now it supports X-H2S.
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements.
    *Above feature varies depending on the camera you use.

You can download the iOS version at the AppStore and for Android at the Google Play Store here.

I find the App useful for very basic features like transfer images on my phone or updating my camera firmware, but it remains an overall rather disappointing experience. Please Fuji, copy Panasonic!

Fujifilm X-H2S Tracks Frogs, Dragon-flies, Butterflies (using Bird Detection)

We know that the Fujifilm X-H2S has now awesome animal and subject tracking (as well as a terrific eye AF).

But Gökçe Coşkun went a bit beyond testing the official subjects the Fujifilm X-H2S can recognize.

In fact, used it to track frogs, dragon-flies, butterflies and he noticed that it actually works very well when set in the “bird detection” mode.

So in case you photograph animal that are not in the official Fujifilm list, try with bird tracking first. You might get lucky.

You can scroll through the video below to see it in action.

Nikon Z9 Sport Photographer Test Fujifilm X-H2S and Fujinon XF18-120mmF4 and XF150-600mmF5.6-8 Tests

Here is a little roundup to catch up with the latest first look reviewers about Fuji’s newest gear trinity.

It includes a Nikon Z9 shooter going hands on with the Fujifilm X-H2S and explaining us why 40fps do matter. It’s the first video in the “video section” down below, and it is also summarized for you in case you don’t have time to watch it right now.

And of course we got also the XF18-120mmF4 and XF150-600mF5.6-8 covered.

So, I guess you have now something to read and watch… I’ll jump in the Mediterranean water while you get through this all ;).

Fujinon XF18-120mmF4

  • alwinkok – XF18-120mm -A Good Zoom Lens for Photographers?

Overshadowed by the Fujifilm X-H2S…

smashed by the Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8…

obscured by the latest Fujinon X mount roadmap…

the Fujinon XF18-120mmF4 entered the Fuji world with little fanfare.

But here on FujiRumors we treat all lenses with the same dignity, so we will start the roundup with this lens. More precisely, the with the coverage of Taylor Jackson, who says:

  • there are four ways to zoom
    1) a zoom ring designed to feel like a manual zoom ring
    2) behind the zoom ring, there is a zoom lever
    3 )there is a zoom button to zoom at a constant speed
    4) ou can zoom via touch screen controls
  • exposure stepping still exists [on this pre-production copy]
  • minimal focus breathing
  • very versatile

LEAKED: First Image of Fujifilm X-H2 Shows No Markings on Front of the Camera

As we know since the Fujifilm X Summit, Fujifilm introduces the 5th generation cameras with two sensors:

  • 26MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HS
  • 40MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR

The first model to come was the “HS” version, hence the Fujifilm X-H2S.

In order to mark this specific model, Fujifilm printed the letter “S” on the front of the camera.

All this considered, there was a wide-spread belief out there that the “HR” model would therefore have an “R” printed in front of the camera.

However, as we can see from the first leaked image of the Fujifilm X-H2, there is nothing at all on the front. Where the X-H2S has the “S”, the X-H2 will have nothing.

But hey, don’t blame me guys!

I already told you that leaked images of the Fujifilm X-H2 will be the most boring ever as it will use exactly the same body of the Fujifilm X-H2S.

On a positive note, having the same body means you’ll be able to use all your X-H2S accessories on the X-H2, including the world famous modular optional cooling fan ;).

Fujifilm X-H2S Just Got “Incredible Improvements” via Firmware Update (and What about the Older Reviews Now?)

As a big lover of Montaigne, I live according to one of his maxim which says “suspend your judgement“.

Well, Montaigne’s life tip is definitely a good one also when it comes to pre-production gear.

We have seen DPReview fail to test new Fuji gear properly, others judging autofocus speed while using a camera that had not even the full menu properly written via firmware (some menu items were still marked with a questionmark!) and others commenting on burst performance when using CFepxress cards that are not properly working with the Fujifilm X-H2S.

So you see: lots of judgements and conclusions have been done in a time where there should be none!

And to underline that, I will give you this information I have just received by a new source (which I am very greatful for contacting me, and if I share it with you despite being a new source it means I have solid reasons to trust it): on June 15, Fujifilm released a firmware update for the Fujifilm X-H2S which introduced “incredible improvements“.

For us this means that whatever we have seen and heard about the Fujifilm X-H2S so far, we should take it with a grain of salt.

The real performance will only be unlocked once the final firmware is out, which should happen soon. And who knows, maybe the June 15 firmware was already the final thing, with all bugs ironed out and the final stills and video autofocus algorithm on it.

Production firmware, that’s what we want, that’s what we wait for. And that’s what we will get very soon and FujiRumors will cover it for you.
