Tethering problem with x-h1

Anyone else having issues tethering with an x-h1?

Fujifilm X-Aquire, Capture one and Exposure all work great with my X-Pro2. But I can't get my X-H1 to be recognized.

For the record, I have both cameras set with identical PC Connection mode setting of 'USB AUTO'.

The X-H1 does show up in 'X Raw Studio' and can transfer files. So I'm very confused.

I also tried different cables to see if that was the issue, with no luck.

I'm on a M1 Mac running Monterey. Tried it on an Intel Mac running Monterey and another on Big Sur.

Has anyone a solution for X-H1?

Thanks.

I've used the X-H1 for a while for my professional work, but there were too many bugs that Fujifilm never really solved in firmware. In terms of build quality it is a great camera though. The X-Pro2 has a micro-USB2.0 connector and the X-H1 has a micro-USB3.0 connector. These 3.0 ports are more discerning when it comes to the right cable.

In case you work with an adapter try a native cable that doesn't need an adapter (also on the mac-side) and isn't too long (no more that 3m). The X-H1 is esp. sensitive to the capacity of the cable and whether it is shielded. In the end I got it working with Capture One, but I had to buy a new 3m Tethertools cable as the 4.6m was apparently too long. Now 3m is too short for me, so this on top of some other issues was for me the reason to switch to another camera. Tethertools has also a solution to boost the capacity (Tetherboost) of a USB3.0 connection, but I never tried that. I'm now on USB-C on both ends, so that solves the issue.

That’s a lot of great info. I’m gonna explore those options. I don’t really wanna get an XT4 at this point. (Come on X-H2!)

Thanks!

You're welcome. I still use my X-Pro2 for personal work every now and then, but I replaced the X-H1 (and the rest of the Fuji-kit) with a Z7II-based kit and I'm very satisfied with that move.

Yes I don’t blame you. I’ll always have some Fujifilm gear. But if they don’t upgrade their gear in the next 3 months I’m going to go back to Canon for a lot of my work. I really love Fujifilm for all the right reasons but it’s faults are getting in the way of my work at this point.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
