    FX Admin got a reaction from YOUTA in Fujifilm X-App - Restart Connectivity   
    The cooperation between smartphones and tablets with Fujifilm cameras of the X and GFX series has not been a glorious one so far, the comments on our forum or the reviews in the app store have never been particularly positive (to put it mildly).
    Fujifilm has listened the criticism and today introduces the new Fujifilm X-App. Functions, operation speed and stability have been massively improved, but most importantly, a new platform is used in the background, which makes extensions and improvements possible for the future.
    The new app works with all Fuji X cameras that have Bluetooth capabilities, and corresponding firmware updates are available starting today. The app itself will be available for free in the App Stores starting tomorrow (May 25, 2023), now also available for iPads.
    Key Improvements To The Fujifilm X-App
    Improved interface and operation: readability and contrast improved, easy connection with the camera. Better performance and stability Camera does not need to be put in a special mode, after the first connection everything can be controlled via smartphone. Image transfer even when still shooting with the camera Camera settings can be saved externally and transferred to other cameras of the same model Also new are the "Timeline" and "Activities" functions, which can be used to arrange images on a timeline and analyze them statistically. However, registration with the corresponding Fujifilm service is required for this. Fujifilm Launches the New App for the GFX / X Series of Digital Cameras “FUJIFILM XApp”
    Achieves seamless connectivity between a camera Features new function for viewing a day’s shooting activities as a photo journal TOKYO, May 24, 2023 – FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO, Representative Director: Teiichi Goto) announces the launch of “FUJIFILM XApp” (XApp)*1, a new app for use with the GFX / X Series of digital cameras. The app will be released for download on May 25, 2023.
    The XApp is a new app that connects GFX / X Series digital cameras with a smartphone or tablet device so that users can remotely control the camera and transfer images taken by the camera to the connected device for viewing. It offers an advanced level of wireless communications stability and speed, an improvement from the current “FUJIFILM Camera Remote” app (Camera Remote). The new app’s substantially enhanced usability makes it much smoother to transfer images from a camera to a smartphone / tablet device. Images are transferred along with the shooting information such as the camera and lens used and the location of the photo shoot, which can be viewed in the app. The addition of a function that presents a day’s shooting activities in the form of a photo journal further broadens the appeals of the photographic experience provided by the GFX and X Series.
    Fujifilm has worked on broadening the appeals of photography and boosting shooting convenience by offering the GFX / X Series, FUJINON interchangeable lenses and the Camera Remote app. In the latest move, the company has developed the new XApp, featuring enhanced functions and performance, to add greater convenience to users’ photographic experiences.
    Compared to the previous Camera Remote app, the XApp provides more stable and faster wireless communications, making photo transfers from a camera to a smartphone / tablet much smoother. All communication operations can be completed on a smartphone / tablet with the exception of the initial bluetooth pairing between a camera and the app. This facilitates simplified operations for enhanced shooting experience.
    The XApp allows users to remotely control a camera while checking the image of the camera’s rear LCD monitor on the smartphone / tablet device. Using the new “Backup/Restore” function, users can save camera settings*2 such as Shooting menu and setup configurations in the app. Saved camera settings can be sent and applied to the camera quickly and easily even during a photo shoot.
    The XApp’s new functions include “Timeline*3,” which displays each day’s shooting activity data, including the camera and lens used, number of frames taken and shooting locations alongside each of the transferred images in chronological order in the photo journal format. Users can edit titles and notes to create a unique photo journal with a personal touch. Another new function is “Activity*3,” which automatically aggregates and displays the cumulative number of frames taken, the number of times the Film Simulation function is used and other cumulative numbers, making it possible to reflect on past shooting activities along with corresponding photos and data. These functions advocate new ways of enjoying photography.
    Fujifilm will continue to develop and provide new products and services to further broaden the joy of photography with the GFX / X Series.
    *1 Compatible with smartphones and tablet device
    *2 All camera settings except for network settings and custom white balance settings
    *3 The Timeline function and the Activity function are not available in some countries and regions as of May 24. To view shooting information with these functions, users need to sign in with the Fujifilm account in their respective place of residence or with social media authentication (Facebook, Apple, Google). Information items to be aggregated are only those for which users have selectively given permission via the app.

    4. Main features
    (1) Boosting the stability and speed of wireless communications, and simplifying operations for enhanced usability
    The app has been created with close attention to system design and connection procedure for wireless connectivity with cameras, smartphones and tablet devices. Images stored in a camera can be transferred to a smartphone or table device more smoothly. All communication operations can be completed on a smartphone / tablet with the exception of the initial bluetooth pairing between a camera and the app. Unifying the operations with cameras, smartphones and tablet devices and improving user convenience. The Image Transfer Order function makes it possible to transfer images in a camera to a smartphone or tablet device not only during the camera’s playback mode and when the camera is powered off, but also while taking pictures. This facilitates seamless posting and sharing of images on social media and messaging apps. The app has been updated with a high-contrast design in black and white as base tones. Text size has been increased to create a user interface with improved visibility. (2) Wireless connectivity for ease of photo shooting
    The XApp allows users to remotely control the GFX / X Series while checking the image of the connected camera’s rear LCD monitor on a smartphone or tablet device. It is especially useful in situations that require remote controls, such as a group shot and time lapse. Some shooting settings such as aperture, ISO and shutter speed can also be configured from the smartphone or tablet device. Using the new “Backup/Restore” function, users can save camera settings such as shooting menu and setup configurations in the app or send them to the camera. Favorite camera settings for different subject type or shooting situations can be managed in the app and exported to a camera, making it quick and easy to change settings even during shooting. Camera settings can also be reflected to multiple cameras of the same model via the app, thus streamlining multi-camera shooting. Even if camera settings are accidentally changed during camera operation, settings saved in the camera can be applied for instant recovery. Smartphone’s date, time and geolocation information*5 are automatically synched with the connected camera, so that it displays accurate time and records accurate shooting location information. *5 Users’ advance consent is required to synch geolocation information. (3) New functions facilitating reflection on shooting activities for expanding the joy of photography further
    The XApp features the Timeline function, which displays each day’s shooting activity data, including the camera and lens used, number of frames taken and shooting locations alongside each of the images transferred to the smartphone / tablet device, in the chronological order in the style of a photo journal. Users can edit titles and notes to create a unique photo journal with a personal touch. Maps in the Timeline function automatically reflect shooting location data, making it easy to reflect where all the photographs are taken. Another new function is “Activity,” which automatically aggregates and displays the cumulative number of frames taken, the number of times the Film Simulation function is used and other cumulative numbers. Users can look back on their shooting activities along with corresponding photos and data, further enhancing the joy of photography. The Timeline and Activity functions are useful for refining photographic techniques. (4) Firmware Update Notification function for keeping the camera always up to date
    The app issues a notification each time a new firmware is released for the user’s camera. Follow instructions in the notification to easily keep the camera’s firmware up to date and enjoy the latest functions straight away.

    FX Admin got a reaction from RolandP in Ultra-Wide Angle Fujinon XF8mmF3.5 R WR   
    With the FUJINON XF8mmF3.5 R WR, Fujifilm introduces the shortest fixed focal length for the Fuji X system to date.
    The classic fields of application for this focal length (KB: 12mm) are architecture and landscape. In classical photography it offered rather an exotic image impression due to the large angle of view of about 120°, but due to the availability of ultra-wide angle lenses in smartphones the focal length has become much more popular
    The Fuji XF8mm is surprisingly small (52.8mm x Ø 62mm) and light (215g), making it easy to take along on hikes and city tours.
    Fujifilm Launches “FUJINON Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR”
    Introducing a prime lens with the widest-angle focal length among interchangeable lenses for the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras Capturing every detail in vast expanses of landscape; Compact design to bring the world of ultra-wide angle photography to everyday use
    XF8mmF3.5 R WR

    When mounted on the mirrorless digital camera “FUJIFILM X-S20”
    TOKYO, May 24, 2023 – FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO, Representative Director: Teiichi Goto) announces the launch of the “FUJINON Lens XF8mmF3.5 R WR” (XF8mmF3.5 R WR) on June 29, 2023. The lens joins the line-up of XF lenses, interchangeable lenses for the X Series of lightweight and compact mirrorless digital cameras, renowned for their outstanding image quality based on Fujifilm’s proprietary color reproduction technology.
    The XF8mmF3.5 R WR is a prime lens with the focal length of 8mm (equivalent to 12mm in the 35mm film format), the widest among the lineup of Fujifilm’s XF lenses. It is a perfect choice for capturing expansive wilderness that spreads out in front of you, or bringing out the background broadly to add a dynamic touch to a subject. The lens’s compact design enhances its portability, bringing the world of ultra-wide angle (UWA) photography to everyday use.
    The XF8mmF3.5 R WR is an UWA lens, consisting of 12 lens elements, including three aspherical elements and two ED elements, in nine groups. It has the diagonal viewing angle of 121 degrees and boasts exceptional image-resolving performance with edge-to-edge clarity. The lens captures every intricate detail of a subject, covered in its characteristically wide field of view, including tree branches and leaves in expansive wilderness or ornamental details at a majestic cathedral. It also measures just 52.8mm long and weighs 215g despite being an UWA lens with the focal length of 8mm. The resulting portability means users can not only enjoy typical UWA applications such as landscape and architecture photography, but also take it out for a wide range of situations including as an everyday walkaround lens or for travel snapshots. The versatile filter thread size of 62mm facilitates the use of a variety of filters to broaden the scope of image production.
    The XF8mmF3.5 R WR joins Fujifilm’s extensive lineup of a total of 42 interchangeable lenses to cover a broad range of photographic genres, offering users the joy of photography with the X Series of APS-C digital cameras.
    1. Product features
    (1) Widest-angle prime lens in the lineup of Fujifilm’s XF lenses
    XF8mmF3.5 R WR offers a focal length of 8mm (equivalent to 12mm in the 35mm film format), the widest angle in Fujifilm’s XF lens lineup. It covers the viewing angle of 121 degrees diagonally for UWA photography. This makes it an ideal choice for expansive wilderness photography and shooting situations involving a subject with high information volume. The lens consists of 12 lens elements, including three aspherical elements and two ED elements, in nine groups, thereby controlling lens distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism to deliver advanced image-resolving performance. The lens captures every intricate detail of a subject, covered in its characteristically wide field of view, including tree branches and leaves in expansive wilderness or ornamental details at a majestic cathedral or temple. As a wide-angle lens, which typically has greater-than-normal depth-of-field, its aperture can be stopped down to facilitate pan-focusing*1. The lens uses the Inner Focus system, which drives compact and lightweight elements in the middle of the barrel. The wide-angle lens’s characteristically short travel distance for the focusing group of elements has boosted the focusing speed to as fast as 0.02 seconds*2, which is particularly useful in dynamic sports photography, taking advantage of the UWA field of view. *1 Photography where everything in the image, from the foreground to the background, is in focus *2 Using an internal measurement method compliant with the CIPA Guidelines, when mounted on the mirrorless digital camera “FUJIFILM X-T4” with Phase Detection AF activated and the High Performance Mode turned ON

    Presenting every detail of the subject in vast UWA field with impressive clarity
    (2) Compact design that brings the world of UWA to day-to-day use
    The compact lens measures just 52.8mm and weighs 215g. The effective positioning of the aspherical and ED elements has reduced the size and weight of this UWA lens, defying the typically large form factor of UWA lenses. Placing distortion-controlling aspherical elements at the front has kept the filter thread size to the versatile 62mm, facilitating the use of a variety of filters to enable long-exposure photography and landscape photography, a popular genre that takes advantage of UWA’s field of view. (3) Dust- and weather-resistant and capable of operating in temperatures as low as -10 degree Celsius
    The lens barrel is weather-sealed at 10 locations to achieve dust- and weather-resistance and capability of operating in temperatures as low as -10 degree Celsius. The front lens element is applied with fluorine coating to repel water and offer protection against stains. This means users can enjoy the lens with peace of mind to take photos in all shooting conditions including snapshots in daily life, travel photography and outdoor photography in light rain or in dusty places.

    I own an X-T3, which I use with a variety of lenses - most often these days with the 100-400, as a big interest is photographing birds.  Thinking of swapping for the X-H2 or - more likely, IF it gets the same AF update as the X-H2 received - the X-T5.

    With the Fuji X-T5, Fujifilm introduces the fifth generation of the most successful Fuji X class. It is already the third top model to be introduced this year after Fuji X-H2s and X-H2.
    Even though positioning and price are not decisively different from the X-H2, most Fuji X photographers will know directly which model they will choose. While the X-H series is more similar to the operating concept of other manufacturers, the Fuji X-T5 is aimed at photographers who want maximum quality with a classic, tactile operating concept.
    The FUJIFILM X-T5 will be available in silver and black from November 17, 2022 at a price of 1,999 € in stores.

    Featuring the latest 40.2MP sensor and image processing engine to deliver superior image quality and fast AF Equipped with three dials on the top panel and a three-way tilting LCD monitor despite being lightweight and compact TOKYO, November 2, 2022 – FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO, Representative Director: Teiichi Goto) announces that it will launch of the mirrorless digital camera “FUJIFILM X-T5” (X-T5) sequentially after the middle of November, 2022. It is the latest addition to the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras known for their compact and lightweight body and superior image quality based on the company’s proprietary color reproduction technology.
    X-T5 features the fifth-generation devices, i.e. the back-illuminated 40.2MP sensor “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR”*1 and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5.” Its superior image quality and high mobility make it a perfect choice for still photography. The compact camera body, weighing just 557g*2, is equipped with advanced features including the five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) of up to 7.0 stops*3, as well as AI-based subject-detection AF and high-speed AF. Other features include three dials: ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation, and three-way tilting LCD monitor delivering greater comfort in photo shooting. The X-T5 will be a perfect companion to cover a wide variety of photographic genres from snapshots / documentary photography, in which its portability is a major asset, to landscape photography and portraiture, which demands superior image quality.
    The X-T5 also features the back-illuminated 40.2MP sensor “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5.” Superior image quality is made possible thanks to the Smooth Skin Effect, in which human skin tone is automatically re-touched, and AI-based high-precision auto white balance. The ability to use ISO125 as standard sensitivity and the high shutter speed of up to 1/180000 seconds provides diverse photographic expressions.

Other features that facilitate high mobility include the five-axis IBIS of up to 7.0-stops, the AI-based subject detection AF for maintaining a focus on animals and birds, and high-speed AF to attain focus on a subject in as fast as 0.02 seconds.
    The X-T5 inherits X-T Series’ signature Center Viewfinder style and dial operation. A 1.84-million-dot three-way tilting LCD monitor is equipped, which makes the shooting in vertical position or at waist level*5 more comfortable.

    Fujifilm has taken the X Series into the fifth generation, introducing the X-H2S (in July this year) and the X-H2 (in September this year) featuring the new image sensor and the high-speed image processing engine. They are positioned as Fujifilm’s double-flagship models and marketed globally. By adding X-T5 which pursues high level of image quality and portability and is optimized for stills, the company continues to broaden the appeals of the X Series further.

    1. Product features
    (1) Carrying X Series’ fifth generation sensor “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” to deliver superior image quality
    The X-T5 carries X Series’ fifth generation sensor, the back-illuminated 40.2MP “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR.” The use of an improved image processing algorithm delivers advanced image resolution without compromising the S/N ratio. The new sensor can take in more light efficiently thanks to its improved pixel structure, which means ISO125 is available as a standard sensitivity. Exposure time is controlled in high precision, allowing users to set the electronic shutter speed as fast as 1/180000 seconds. This means large-aperture lenses can be used wide open in a greater variety of conditions. The Smooth Skin Effect, which automatically smooths the skin tone, is also featured, reducing post-processing workload required in portrait photography, etc., so that images can be finished at a high degree of perfection much quicker than ever before. The X-T5 features Auto White Balance based on the Deep Learning technology. The AI technology accurately identifies warm light-bulb color cast to adjust white balance for improved accuracy. The X-T5 comes with 19 Film Simulation modes, including “Nostalgic Neg.,” characterized by high saturation and soft tonality. Users can use Film Simulation presets, designed for various subject types and scenes, as if they are choosing photographic films to suit the subject or situations. This camera features the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which quadruples image resolution and produces accurate color reproduction. The IBIS mechanism is used to shift the image sensor at high precision to carry out automatic shooting of 20 frames in a single click of the shutter. The dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner” processes the captured frames to generate an image containing some 160 million pixels, ideal for commercial photography and digital archiving of cultural assets. The camera supports the HEIF format, which enables recording images with a rich 10-bit color depth despite being approximately 70% of the size of an equivalent JPEG file. It can store high-quality image data more efficiently. (2) High-performance AF to accurately attain focus on the subject
    The X-T5 can autofocus in as fast as 0.02 seconds, ensuring to capture a decisive photo opportunity. The subject-detection AF, developed with Deep Learning technology, is capable of detecting animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, airplanes and trains with AI technology. The system automatically tracks a subject while maintaining focus, so that users can concentrate on shutter opportunities and framing. The X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR sensor has a greater number of phase detection pixels than the previous model, resulting in an improved ability to attain AF-S6 focus on a subject with high-frequency such as animal furs and fine leaves, enabling accurate focusing in landscape photography and portraiture. The use of an improved AF prediction algorithm offers stable focusing also in the AF-C mode7. *6 AF-S autofocuses on a subject when the shutter button is half-pressed, and keeps it locked once the focus is attained. *7 AF-C continuously maintains focus on a subject within the focus area while the shutter button is half-pressed. (3) Hardware and design that delivers operational comfort to provide powerful support to users’ content creation
    The X-T5 features a five-axis IBIS of up to 7.0-stops. Users can shoot hand-held even in low light conditions such as nightscape photography. The X-T5 features three dials on the top panel for controlling ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation. Users can check and change camera settings even before turning it on, bringing operational comfort. The 1.84-million-dot three-way tilting LCD monitor is newly equipped allowing the shooting in vertical position or at the waist level, frequently used when shooting stills. The camera is equipped with a high-magnification 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification. The viewfinder provides stellar visibility thanks to the improved suppression of parallax and distortion, which typically occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder. Lightening the parts of IBIS and EVF has resulted in a compact body that weighs just 557g. This is coupled with the camera’s weather-resistant structure and ability to operate at temperatures as low as -10℃ to allow users to take the X-T5 into any conditions with peace of mind. (4) Extensive video features including 6.2K/30P capability
    The X-T5 can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video at 6.2K/30P on an SD card inserted in the camera. It features the 4K HQ mode, which uses 6.2K over-sampling to produce high-quality 4K video. The dual memory card slots for SD cards is also featured to deliver video in superior image resolution. The X-T5 features F-Log2 for recording video in enriched tonality, adding freedom in post-production creativity. Combined with a compatible HDMI recording device, ATMOS NINJA V+8 or Blackmagic Design’s Video Assist 12G9, 12-bit RAW video output from X-T5 can be recorded as Apple ProRes RAW*10 or Blackmagic RAW at resolutions and frame rates of up to 6K and 30 frames per second. *8 An integrated monitor and recorder by ATOMOS. *9 An integrated monitor and recorder by Blackmagic Design. *10 Apple ProRes is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. 2. Optional accessories
    Hand grip “MHG-XT5” (for X-T5)
    This grip substantially improves users’ ability to hand-hold the camera even when a large-aperture lens is mounted, thereby reducing motion blur. The hand grip does not have to be removed to change a battery or SD card. The base can be used as a plate compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release system.
