New Fujifilm XApp Update brings Welcome Improvement

The new Fujifilm XApp just got a software update 1.1.0 and it brings a much welcome improvement: it allows us to use the app with location set to off.

I now have personally set my XApp geolocation tracking permission on the phone to “While Using the App”.

All I have to do now is not to forget to open the App before I starting to shoot ;).

Here are the details of the update:

  • The application is enhanced that the smartphones and cameras are able to communicate via Wi-Fi even if the permission to access “Location” is not set.
  • Application functions that do not require permissions to access can be used even if the permissions to access those functions are not set.
  • The minor bug is fixed that some smartphone models fail to connect to the camera via Wi-Fi in rare cases.

Fujifilm GFX100 (and Other Cameras?) to Get XApp Support with Future Firmware Updates

When Fujifilm launched the new XApp, they also shared a list of camera models that are compatible with the new App.

And if you look at the official press release of Fujifilm Global, the Fujifilm GFX100 is not supported for the new XApp.

However, if you look the the press release of Fujifilm USA here, well, they do list the Fujifilm GFX100 as compatible!

So what’s going on?

Well, right now, the Fujifilm GFX100 is not supported (so the US press release is NOT accurate).

But Fujifilm USA managers said in the Tech Talk last night (which I participated myself), that for sure there will be a firmware update coming for the GFX100 that will add XApp support also for that camera.

So, the GFX100 is not supported yet, but it will be in foreseeable future thanks to a firmware update.

That brings hope also for other models, as clearly Fujifilm is not yet done with adding XApp support for their cameras, so maybe, along with the GFX100, also other models will be made compatible down the road.
