I paid the $79 for the new 1.3 version but is not working for me.  It shows as "Acquired" on my Adobe Add-ons page. But have been unable to install it via the Creative Cloud. I can't see it in the Activity Stream or in the Plugin Manager in LR. I am using LR CC version 2015.7.  Anyone out there with a successful install? Thank you!

I'm using the old version and it works fine on my Mac. Although, I've been hearing reports of not working for certain people. It looks like they have a lot of bugs to fix. 

 

As for speed, I haven't done a scientific comparison, but it does seem faster. It should since it's using USB 3.0 (X-T2) instead of USB 2.0 (X-T1). Granted, the file size is bigger, but it does seem faster. When I have time, I might do some informal tests with both cameras and see if it is faster or the same.

Need some help wading thru all the talk on tethering my X-T2.  Looking to get hooked up. I don't have any previous Fuji/Adobe software for my PC. I did not get the HS-V5 for Windows previously.  I want to get to the live view on the PC with camera controls. What is the way to get there from scratch and with the least amount of headache?

So just an update. I got to use tethering, with the old version, using my X-T2 at a real shoot with a client. It's still clunky as ever. 

 

The speed is still slow. In a real life scenario, it doesn't feel any faster than X-T1.

 

There is a bug with the tethering software recognizing the X-T2 when the camera sleeps or if you turn it off (This also happened with X-T1). You need to restart the tethering software OR even restart Lightroom. To be safe, between sets, you have to close the tether software and restart it when you're ready to shoot again. This is pretty annoying and needs to be fixed by either Adobe or Fuji. I don't know if the new PRO software will fix that. 

 

So it's the same as the X-T1. It's still a pain, and it's unstable. But it's there if you need it.

I agree 100% with this. I had a portrait session last week and tried to use the tethering and you literally have to wait a solid 3 seconds for each image to come thru. It can make it awkward for a client when you're just staring at the screen. I love my XT2 but I'm seriously considering purchasing a canon body for some of the tethered work I need.

Yeah. I thought about getting the Nikon d810 when I started to need tethering. I'm also considering the Sony A7rii. They both work with Capture One and might be a better solution if one needs tethering more.

 

Tethering with the X-T1/X-T2 is ok. You need someone to act like a digital tech to watch the photos come in as you just shoot away. I wouldn't wait on anything except at the beginning to check your exposure and other settings.

Hi there,

 

Apologies for bumping this thread, but its one of the only ones I've found on the net about the new Fuji Pro Lightroom plugin.

 

I've been trying to work out if it will be possible to do time lapse photos while using the 'Live View'/PC mode. I saw a demonstration video on Youtube which showed a sub menu for 'automated shooting' - is anyone that has purchased the software able to confirm what this feature does, and whether it can be used to set up interval shooting? 

 

Tried contacting Fuji but they didn't seem to know (!)

 

I slightly object to paying for this since most software already allows Cameras to shoot live view etc at no additional cost (even cheap canon's/nikon's) with faster file transfer speeds to boot, but could just about stomach it if this functionality is there.

 

Many thanks,

 

Will

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
