GFX 100S Controls (Still) Locked out with Live View Open

Will Fujifilm Ever Fix the Tethering Lockout Issue on the GFX 100S?

I've been a commercial photographer for 15 years and an early GFX system adopter, starting with the GFX 50S and now using the GFX 100S as my main camera. I work on-site with clients, and they stand behind my laptop with live view open, making adjustments to the scene. At the same time, I need to be adjusting exposure and testing flash levels from behind the camera.

The current system forces me to choose between live view or controlling my camera. Once live view is open, the camera is completely locked out. My clients take priority, but that means I can't change exposure settings or test flash levels while live view is running. The only option is to pull out the cable, which cuts off live view for my clients. I also can't trigger the shutter with live view open, so I have to completely stop live view just to set my flash exposures.

I've been waiting for YEARS for this to be fixed, and I’m starting to lose hope.

Capture One 16 now has dual control for other Fujifilm models (like the X-H2, X-T5, and GFX-100II), allowing control from both the software and the camera. But why is this only available for the GFX-100II? It's frustrating to see this implemented for a new $7500 camera while this long-standing issue on older models remains ignored.

I am heavily invested in GFX, and the 100S with a 50S backup is perfect for me. I absolutely do not need to spend $7500 on the GFX 100II—especially not just to get this fundamental feature I've been waiting for so long.

Nikon, Canon, and Sony don’t have this problem—this is a Fujifilm-specific issue, and it feels like something that could be resolved with a firmware update. Is anyone else having this issue? Does Fujifilm ever plan to address this in a future update?

Honestly, I’m insulted that Fujifilm would introduce such an essential feature only for their new system instead of fixing what should have been addressed long ago. It feels like they're trying to push me to buy a new camera to get something that should have been available through a simple update. 

This should be a firmware update, and it is long overdue. I feel like I'm the only user out there that has this need. It feels like Fujifilm will just move on and never implement it for cameras like the 100S. It drives me crazy on every shoot. I need this firmware update!

Has anyone heard anything about this, or is there any hope of it being fixed?

Will Fuji ever fix the camera lockout issue with live view on the GFX 100S and other GFX cameras?

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
