FWIW, there is a setting to set no info on the HDMI output. Also, I bought one of these $18 devices. I'm not sure if it was the specific device I bought, but the video framerate was pretty bad. It looked like maybe 15fps or less, a pretty big delay and even had tearing. I decided to buy an Elgato Cam Link 4K. This is WAY more expensive, but Elgato makes great stuff and I have a lot of it. This is capable of 1080@60fps, 4K@30. I figure it gives me more options for more than just Zoom. For Zoom, I am simply running the XT3 at 1080@30 because I don't think Zoom does more than that anyway. The Elgato Cam Link 4K works perfectly, as it should for the price, with almost no lag/delay at all. Of course, it's ~$100USD on Amazon. The only other thing I will share, but I feel like this specific issue is either my computer, Zoom, or my XT3. Every so often, my video freezes on Zoom while in a meeting. Not that often, but more than a couple times. However, I am on Zoom meetings almost the entire day. I haven't been scientific in my troubleshooting, but I believe I simply stop video on Zoom and turn it back on and it's fine. Like I said, I believe this is true, but I need to test that more. If so, that says to me it's a Zoom issue.

Am I correct in assuming (still waiting on my USB capture device) that you need to go into settings to turn off all of the interface displays? If memory serves, using the HDMI out shows the same information as the back screen unless you turn that off. I too like setting the shutter speed, f/stop and iso manually... including color temp. I am using an Elgato Ring Light that I can control from my computer for brightness and color temp, and choose the exact temp of the light! So I set the temp on the Fuji for the same temp as my light. All of these things, both camera and light, let me dial things in perfectly!

I have a Logitech Brio 4K that I paid an ungodly amount for when covid hit. I think I had to drop like $300+ USD (!!). I honestly wish I had just gotten the older Logitech that does 1080, because the Brio isn't any better from anything I can tell. These webcams have such small sensors and cheap lenses... they all kind of suck. I finally hooked up my Fuji X-T3 today, and while I love that I can manually control anything and everything, including the film simulations, I thought I had gotten something wrong because the resolution was straight garbage! For a camera that can shoot 4K@60 it is crazy to me that they don't at least let it output 1080p (or even 720!)!. I just snagged one of these kind of dongles off Amazon for $18. I get it tomorrow and hope it works as well for me as it did for you. I can't see why it wouldn't. Thanks so much for sharing this find!! SHAME on you FUJI! 🙄😑
