The firmware for each model supports new application software âFUJIFILM XAppâ for GFX and X series cameras.
âFUJIFILM XAppâ is the advanced application software for the current one, âFUJIFILM Camera Remoteâ, with which wireless communication becomes more stable and faster so that images and movies transportation from the camera becomes more smooth and comfortable with the smartphone and tablet terminal.
Moreover, the operation with the smartphone and tablet terminal becomes much simpler than the current application software, since all the data transportation operations, except for the âBluetooth Pairingâ between camera and the application software required at the first time only, are completed with the smartphone and tablet terminal.
Adding on the âLive View Modeâ and access/download functions of the data in camera, several new functions are available, such as âBackup/Restoreâ to store the setting data in the shooting and setup menus, âTimelineâ to review the shooting information of the camera/lens, shooting count/location, etc. and âActivityâ to show the accumulated summary of the shooting count total, film simulation usage, etc., which should make GFX and X series cameras attractive more and more.Note-1: Please see NEWS RELEASE for the details of âFUJIFILM XAppâ.
