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!

      Fujifilm X-T50 Film simulation confusion

      By ruralrelic · Posted

      Example: I am using a custom recipe, and I then use the film simulation dial to select a simulation. Are values from the custom recipe carried over, such as highlights, shadow, and white balance etc.? After studying the articles in Fuji X Weekly, this appears to be the case If you set a recipe on one of the C slots its settings will be applied to all the film simulations on the dial. The workaround is to use your 'standard' recipe at C1.   Please clarify this for me . I would have thought the film simulation dial would have no input from other camera settings.   Thank you - Very Confuded!

      Is this on the X-T30 II? Sounds like you have HDR selected in the shooting menu. The other alternative when you see the "storing" message is that the Clarity setting is non-zero but that doesn't cause multiple clicks.

      what happened to Capture One?

      By mcewena · Posted

      My XS10 came with a Capture One license but my PC at the time would barely run it so I stuck with my ancient version of Picasa.  Bought a new PC and my old Capture One has been deprecated and fuji site only talks about a 3 month trial.  Is there a work around or should I be looking for something else?

      On aperture priority and single shot, camera clicks twice after one shot and then takes several seconds showing "storing" message.  This is a new camera and did not do this at first.  Does not do this on auto.

      Macro Lens Buying Advice - Tech/Product Photography

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I have the Fuji 80 mm macro and really like it. It's very sharp and I use it for macro but also for general photography. If you find yourself zoomed to 55, this may land in the right spot. Also, this lens is very good with magnification distortion (pincushion or barrel), which is probably important if you're doing product photography and the product has straight lines. It is autofocus. I hear you don't prioritize that, but there's something else you gain when you have autofocus. You can combine multiple photos taken at slightly different focus distances, using stacking software, and autofocus lets the camera automate the process of taking all these, using focus bracketing. It even calculates how much the focus should change between these exposures. This lens, new, is above your stated budget. Maybe you can find it used? In any case, options are always nice to have, and others may like this option too. So, just a thought. One more thing: I've never used the Laowa macro you mention, but I do have their circular fisheye. I love circular fisheyes, and also have two other brands, and comparing them I find the Laowa is considerably better than the other two. That's a vote for Laowa.
