Just bought the XH1 but cannot get it to Bluetooth pair with my Oneplus 3t Android 8.0 (Oreo) phone using Camera Remote-> Pairing Registration. Both devices just sit there "searching" and then give up.

 

BTW, outside of the Camera Remote App, using the phone's Bluetooth settings, the phone does see a device called 1371X-H1-1371 but fails to pair "because of an incorrect PIN or passkey".

 

 

 

I've updated the camera body to firmware Ver.1.01 and installed Camera Remote using the QR code on the back of the camera.

 

Has anyone got any tips?

 

kind regards

Even if you get Bluetooth connection, it really doesn't do anything other than send GPS data to the camera.  You cannot use Bluetooth independent of Wifi for camera control via the app, and you cannot transfer images via Bluetooth (you only mark them for transfer - the actual transfer happens via Wifi).  Auto transfer of images is not conveniently implemented, you actually lose control of the camera in some scenarios. I've played with it for quite a while and never had much success or see any value in it.  So I just turned Bluetooth off and left it off.

 

In the manual you'll find this at the top of the section on Bluetooth and Wireless connections:   "For more information on wireless connections, visit: http://fujifilm-dsc.com/wifi/"   When you go there you'll see that Bluetooth implementation is still dependent on working in conjunction with Wifi connection.

 

I will say that all my Fuji cameras (X-T1, T2, and now H-1) have worked flawlessly with the app and Wifi.   No problem at all and very reliable.  It makes me wonder why they even bothered with Bluetooth, unless the big deal was GPS info (which I don't care about).

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
