Hello all,

I was just wondering if there were any geotaggers available for the Fuji X cameras? Something like the Solmeta is what I’m looking for. Or if there is a way to connect my camera to my BadElf GPS.

I know that I can connect the camera to my phone; but that has been spotty at best. Plus it doesn’t have the reliability of something like the Solmeta that I have on my Nikon.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting question as that is the main feature I miss on my Fuji X cameras over my Canon 7D which I used with a Canon GP-E2 geotagger. As far as I know there is no comparable device for the X-series. I tried the Fuji App but it is flaky at best so is not really an option for me. So what I do is use my iPhone with an App called Geotag Photos 2 which creates a GPX route of my journey and then you can use something like Lightroom to link the two together and it then places the geo data in the Metadata. I have the App set to record with a minimal position change of 10 yards which works well for me. It's obviously more of a hassle than having a dedicated geotagger but it works for me. And although it is running continuously (as it records the route) it doesn't use a huge amount of battery. I carry a small power-bank but have never needed to use it whilst using this App.

Hope this helps!

    • Friends,    Happy New Year!   Two simple and perhaps rather silly questions: 1.) I cannot, for the life of me, change the rear command dial setting to control exposure compensation under particular conditions: my goal is lock the exposure compensation dial on the top and use the rear command dial to control exposure compensation. In the COMMAND DIAL SETTING MENU, I have the exposure compensation setting assigned, but ... no dice! 2.) And then, it is possible to have the exposure compensation "reset" when turning the X-T5 On/Off? If I have a value of -3 exposure compensation, for example, the camera "remembers" the value, and I have to re-zero the exposure compensation. Any help towards answering these two questions would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you friends and happy shooting! -M
