Thank you for this video! Capture One is essential to my workflow and I'm finding myself using my XT-2 in the studio more often. As of September 2018 this vid is still relevant.

Great video, sir. Tethering has been the area I've missed most since switching to Fujifilm. I really appreciate your videos on the subject.
7 лет назад
Thanks! Really glad you like these videos. I've been using tethering on the X-T1 prior to the X-T2 for a couple of years, and even though the HS-V5 + Capture One method works great, I just love the new X Acquire software. Fast and stable. Cheers, Eivind / instagram.com/erohne
I don't think it was 8 seconds faster. You took about 8 seconds longer in the HS-V5 video to shoot 20 images. That said this plug-in seems easier to use and is free, so definitely a winner. Great video. Thanks!

Hi! Glad you liked the video. The X Acquire is definetely faster than HS-V5. And remember that when shooting a long sequence like this, even if I shot the HS-V5 sequence a bit slower, quite a few images are waiting in line to be transferred successfully over. So shooting speed isn't the only factor, and X Acquire seems to grab them over much more rapidly. Sadly I don't have HS-V5 installed anymore to do a new and faster comparison, but if you have both, it would be easy to shoot at the fastest speed you can, and time the difference between them. That way the shooting speed would be eliminated from the equation. If you do test it, I'd be curious to hear what results you got, so feel free to comment back. Cheers, Eivind
Thanks for the video, I am a follower. The Fuji guides didn't make tethering work, but your video did. How do you instantly the big picture in C1? I only get smaller thumbnails in the right sidebar when a picture is imported, no big picture. Tethering with X acquire and live view remote control with the smartphone app don't seem to function together?
4 года назад
Thanks, so glad you found the video helpful! To get the picture to display large automatically as it comes in, just select one of the thumbnail images first manually (to display it large). Then it should continue showing new ones big too. Make sure the menu «Camera - Auto Select New Capture» is set to «When ready». No, the smartphone app doesn’t work together with tethering. Cheers, Eivind
Thanks Eivind - great videos. I wish I knew why Fuji won't support tethering on my X-Pro 2...
7 лет назад
I don't know why, but if you ask me, I think the X-Pro2 simply was meant for a different kind of user base (street, journalism etc) where the majority has no interest in tethering. Might be a wild guess though....
First of all, thank you for saving me hours and hours of figuring out how to do use my X-T2 tethered to Capture One. I watched the "original" video ("Fujifilm X-T2 tethering with Capture One Pro 10) first and ordered the Hyper Utility before I found this video. Luckily I could cancel my order in time. I think you should consider reshooting this video and doing two things. First I think it would be best to say very clearly in the beginning that yes, X Acquire does make Hyper Utility obsolete. Second, you don't cover how to set up C1 to monitor the Capture folder and display new photos in this video. Look at 7:01 where you imply that it "just works". In the original video you do explain this. I was able to get everything to work by using X Acquire and watching both videos. This is a huge time savings - thank you! But you might consider taking down the original video and creating a new one which is up to date and fully covers set-up for monitoring and display.
6 лет назад
Hi! So glad you like the video, and you know what?! I totally agree with you! For some time now, I have been thinking about making a shorter one as an addition to the other tethering videos, covering all the necessary settings in X Acquire & C1, without speed tests etc. Just straight to the point set-up video. So it's on my to-do list, and as soon as get time to make one, I'll do it. ;) Cheers, Eivind
Thanks for putting this video together, and for all the detailed information (like the issue you had with McAffee). I've just ordered a TetherTools right angle cable, and am looking forward to trying my hand at shooting tethered with my X-T2 in the very near future. Someone may have already mentioned this, but per Adobe's website, you can also configure Lightroom to watch a specific folder and auto-import just as you have done with Capture One. I haven't tried this for myself, yet, so I'm cautiously optimistic as to how well it will work. I'm also looking into other programs that will watch a folder and carry out specific actions (i.e., opening to view) on any new files. For those interested, the link is here: helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/import-photos-automatically.html

Lance King Thanks Lance, really glad you like it! Yes, you can set up Lightroom to watch a folder too, and it works fine. The only thing is that Adobe products (like Lightroom and Bridge) are very slow at handling Fuji rawfiles, so Lightroom is much slower than Capture One to render sharp previews during tethering (just like Bridge is painfully slow at rendering sharp previews from Fuji rawfiles). Hope you enjoy shooting tethered, and thanks for the info link. Cheers, Eivind
That's good to know. I'm actually looking to replace Adobe's software in my workflow, now that it's evident they plan to eventually push everyone into using their cloud storage. I think I'll get a trial version of Capture One and see how that works for me. Thanks again!

Lance King Be sure to check out their RUclips channel. They have tons of free tutorials and webinars covering every aspect of Capture One.
Thanks. Are you generally happy with the Capture One workflow when it comes to Fujifilm cameras? And do they have something akin to a camera profile that emulates the Fuji film simulations? That's my biggest concern.
7 лет назад
Lance King I'm very happy with C1. I love the color tools and the workflow, and also the technical file quality. It doesn't have built in profiles for Fujifilm film simulations, but you can download good ones made by others, and install those. I wrote a blog post about it here: erohne.wordpress.com/2017/07/05/fujifilm-icc-profiles-for-capture-one-pro-10/
Great info! Thank you sharing Eivind. No native C1 tether support for Fujifilm but at least we are now getting a very promising work around. I will take it!

I wonder if you could walk around with a tiny windows tablet or phone sized device tethered to your phone and backing up raw files right away into a drop box. That way if you're on a long trip you can rest assured your photos are backed up and you can even empty out your SD cards.
7 лет назад
Hi Proper. Yes it could work, but I think it would be a very cumbersome and not very practical solution for just backing up files. You would need to have a USB cable from your camera to a laptop all the time, and you really don't want more cables than necessary when out in the field. I started shooting digitally with the Hasselblad H1D 12 years ago, and that camera didn't use memory cards at all, so you had to have an image bank (a harddisk basically) hanging in your belt, with a cable from the camera to the bank. Couldn't use the camera without it. And the cable kept getting in the way all the time when shooting out in the field. The two best solutions I see, are 1) Use two cards in your camera and shoot raw to both, or 2) Use a portable harddisk with SD card reader and copy your cards whenever you want, like this one for instance www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1244323-REG/wd_wdbsmt0030bbk_nesn_3tb_my_passport_wireless.html. Cheers, Eivind instagram.com/erohne
Thank you very much for these video. I would like you explain to me: Waht cable I need to tether my Fujifilm XT2 to Capture One? And if is necessary to use an other sotfware to do it? What is "TetherTools right angle cable"? Thank you very much!
4 года назад
Thanks, so glad you like the videos! You need a usb cable that fits into the port on the X-T2 (I don’t remember what type of plug it is, but I think this is the one: www.tethertools.com/camera/fuji-x-t2/) and the other end must fit into the usb port if your computer. Tether Tools is a manufacturer of usb cables for tethering (check their website), and a right angle cable is just a cable that doesn’t stick straight out of the camera body, but is angled downward. The process of what software etc you need is explained in the videos. For instance, X Acquire is not a fully fledged program for tethering, it’s only for saving the files to a folder on your computer. So if you want more control over the tethering process, you need either Capture One or Lightroom. The paid version of Capture One now has built-in tethering for Fujifilm by the way, so if you have the full/paid version of Capture One, you don’t need X Acquire. Hope that helps! Cheers, Eivind
great stuff. Works pretty decent ;) Do you know a workaround to auto apply adjustments like you would do in a normal tethering situation. Like " copy adjustments from last file". Of course you can do it manually afterwards. But in case you have a client overseeing shoot on screen there would be less explanation to do if images where auto corrected allready in import to capture one. Regards Claus, Denmark
7 лет назад+2
Thanks Claus, really glad you liked it! I contacted Phase about this issue last week, and they say there's no way of having C1 auto adjust from previous image when shooting with the hotfolder function. Sadly.... I really could need that functionality as well. Cheers, Eivind
At least there's "copy/paste adjustments", although one of the bugs I ran across (Phase One techs have apparently confirmed it) during the latest agonies: Sometimes using the "apply" tool simply doesn't work as expected. Instead, I have to use the Shift+Control+V keystroke. But at least that works!
I don't think it fails in all situations. One in which it fails consistently (at least the Windows version): the "copy adjustments" control in the Keywords panel. Select several images, with the _first_ one selected containing keywords you want to transfer to others. Hold down Shift and click the Keyword tool's "copy/paste adjustments" control. It fails 100% of the time when I try it. To make it work, don't hold down Shift. The usual dialog box opens. You have to put a check-mark into the "Keywords" check-box (which should be checked by default, but isn't). Then proceed with pasting the keywords. Or use Shift+Control+C, then Shift+Control+V. I have seen the "apply settings" routine fail some other times if I click the "apply" controls - but not in all circumstances. Capture One - not just a raw processor...an adventure. :) (But I do like its color rendition, and a lot more.)
Takk for fin video. Ser ut til at dette kun er et program for high-end-segmentet. Da er det vel ingen vits å prøve om det funker på min gode gamle X-E2. Eller...?
7 лет назад
Tusen takk Harald! Tethering er forbeholdt X-T1, X-T2 og GFX 50S. Men selv X-Pro2 som jo også er i high-end segmentet har ikke mulighet for tethering, så jeg tror Fujifilm bare har definert noen av kameraene sine som "studio-kameraer", og forbeholdt denne funksjonaliteten til de kameraene. Hilsen Eivind
Thank you for your very nice video. Although Acquire successfully transfers all my RAW images to the Capture One Capture folder in my current session, the Capture One browser and viewer don’t always automatically update after each RAW image has been transferred. For example, even shooting slowly, the sixth image might only appear in the browser after the seventh image appears in both the browser and the viewer. What might be the likely cause for this? Thanks.
7 лет назад+2
Thanks Richard, really glad you liked it! I had this problem once actually, but I managed to get rid of it. In the C1 menu Camera - Auto select new capture, I set it to "Never". Then I quit C1 completely, restarted it, and set it back to "When ready", and then everything worked just fine. Could you try that and let me know how that works out for you? Cheers, Eivind instagram.com/erohne
Thank you very much for your suggestion, but Capture One 10.0.2 in Windows 10 always re-opens with When Ready selected. The new image always appears in the browser but the viewer isn’t always updated with the new image. The current image in the viewer sometimes remains selected in the browser, not the new one. I will let you know if I find a solution. Thanks, Richard.
7 лет назад+1
Richard Sylvester Hmmm... Strange. Maybe there's a bug in 10.0.2 since it reverts back to "When ready" even though you select something else....? I'm pretty sure I was on an earlier version when I did it. If I where you I'd report this to Phase One tech support and ask.
May I know if I tethering with X Acquire and monitor the image in Capture One, how to let the new capture image popping up automatic(just like 06:58). P.S I am a MAC user so Capture One did not connect to my X-T2 as the software HS-V5 just support windows so the function "Auto Select New Capture" didn't work for me. Thanks Eivind!
6 лет назад
Hi there! First of all, make sure you aren't transferring both RAW + JPG files to the computer or it won't work (at least that's my experience). So set up X Acquire to only transfer either the RAW or the JPG, not both. Then in Capture One, go to the menu on top named "Camera", and in that menu, you must select the item "Hot Folder Enabled" so you get a checkmark to the left of the "Hot Folder Enabled" text. If there's no checkmark there, it won't work. And also set "Auto Select New Capture" in the same Capture One menu to "When ready". Could you try these steps and let me know if it works? Cheers, Eivind
Are you able to monitor Fujifilm GFX 50s RAF Raw files as well? or just JPG?
7 лет назад+1
It depends on what software you want to use monitoring them. I don't think Capture One supports the GFX50S yet, but Adobe just updated their products to handle GFX 50S rawfiles. So you could use Adobe Bridge if you just want to watch them come in. But if you want to shoot rawfiles straight into Lightroom, you can do that either with the X Acquire program and set Lightroom to monitor the folder that X Acquire saves the files into(helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/import-photos-automatically.html). Or you could use the Fujifilm/Adobe tether shooting plug-in for Win/Mac that was updated to handle GFX files to a couple of days ago (creative.adobe.com/addons/products/12039#.WL_AfYWcEuU). Cheers, Eivind instagram.com/erohne
I tried this today and it worked ok but Capture One didn't preview the most recent shot taken, just stays on the last one selected, no idea why, seems to work fine in your video. Was so frustrating I pulled the cable after a ten minutes :/
7 лет назад+1
Brian Rolfe Sorry to hear that Brian. Check out the dialogue between Richard Sylvester and me further down in the comments field here. I have experienced the same thing and managed to solve it, but he didn't. Would you give it a try and let me know? Cheers, Eivind Rohne / instagram.com/erohne
Ok so last night I upgraded to Capture One 10 thinking that might help, it did and didn't... in my studio I have an old Mac Pro and on that I still have the same issue, same thing on my brand new Mac Mini but it all works fine on my Mac Book Pro, strange but I'm happy it's not the other way around as my MBP is what I use on client shoots which obviously is more critical for me! I tried your suggestion in the earlier dialogue but it didn't work unfortunately.
7 лет назад
Yeah, that's very strange... And it's a pity if Fujifilm relies on this to be a solid workflow for tethering, and then C1 don't handle the hotfolder functionality well....
Yeah it's really frustrating the co-operation between Phase and Fuji, Capture One is industry standard I wouldn't use anything else and whatever the lack of co-operation is between them we are the ones suffering. I'm really happy that Fuji have come up with a solution that (almost) works but Phase don't seem bothered, that's a shame as it's always been the one thing that bugs me about my switch to Fuji, clients generally need me to shoot tethered, if I can't do that then I have to think about other solutions.
7 лет назад+1
I totally agree with you. Phase has always treated my support issues very professionally, but as soon as I mention any Fuji related questions, they seem to answer in a very nonchalant and non-caring way, like they don't want to have anything to do with it. That's a real pity, because I'm starting to hear a lot of other people say exactly the same thing...
You went from finding the app and the message “no camera.” I got that much. Then all of a sudden your looking at a menu. How’d you get there?
4 года назад
When you connect the camera to the computer and turn it on, you should be able to access the menus of the X Acquire software. But, make sure you have set up your camera correctly like I show at 4:50 in the video. Let me know if it still doesn’t work. Cheers, Eivind
Yaron Harel Wireless transfer is extremely slow compared to regular tethering, so it’s not really an option unless you don’t need to shoot more than one image every minute or so. I have tested it, but it’s not something I would use in my shooting situations. Cheers, Eivind
i already follow ur instruction but i've got one problem that is my capture one do not select newest photo that i shoot from camera. So how can i fix it??
6 лет назад
Pe Chenchuphol Hi! The two most common problems I know of that cause C1 not to display the last capture in the main window, is that 1) Both raw + jpg is transferred (the setting in the X Acquire software); only one file type must be transferred, or 2) Under the C1 menu "Camera", you must select the "Hot Folder Enabled" function so you get a checkmark next to it. If those two are correct, it should work if you just click on a file in the browser to show up large in the main window, and when you shoot the next one it should appear automatically. Let me know if you have you tried this? Cheers, Eivind
Many Thanks for answer, anyway could you tell me what the C1 menu is??
6 лет назад
It's the menu in C1 (Capture One). The whole process when using Capture One (C1) and X Acquire, is that you must first set up a session in C1, then in the settings for the X Acquire program you point the destination folder to the Capture folder generated by C1, and you must also set X Acquire to only transfer RAW or JPG, not both. Then in Capture One, you go to the menu on top called "Camera", and in that menu, you must select the item "Hot Folder Enabled" so you get a checkmark to the left of the "Hot Folder Enabled" text.
How are you making your Capture One automatically preview the next image in the main preview window? I am having to manually go to the filmstrip on the right side and select the last photo taken. I notice that in your capture one, it automatically selects the last photo taken. Thanks for any help!
7 лет назад+1
Hi Chuck! I know a couple of others have had the same issue, but for me it works without any problems. Mine is set up like this: In the C1 Camera menu, I have "Hot folder enabled", and in the same Camera menu I have set the "Auto Select Next Capture" to "When Ready". Then I point C1 to my capture folder in the Library pane, and after I have shot my first image I just click on that thumbnail to get it displayed large in the main window. Then everything works fine with the auto update after that. But; one thing: If you transfer BOTH raw & jpg from the camera, C1 seems to get in trouble about displaying the most recent file (probably since it receives 2 at a time and can't figure out wich one to display). So I only transfer the raw file to the computer when shooting tethered, not both. Let me know if this helps. Cheers, Eivind
@ I shoot myself on-cam so I basically just need to see it in general. And I want to be able to use my laptop because it's so portable and I don't have a lot of space (and don't want to invest in another monitor). Tried to use my phone as a monitor using the Camera Remote app but it's horrible and glitchy. Keeps freezing and disconnecting. Hoping there is a way to work this out!
4 года назад+1
The cheapest and easiest way would probably to get something like the Feelworld F6 Plus monitor and an HDMI cable. Pretty cheap, and works great. I use it with my Sony cameras.
This test is skewed, before you had profoto and you were waiting for a beep before shooting next frame, this test was done faster since you just pushed every second.
I tried this software with lightroom but it never displays the photos full screen, only imports as small photos .
6 лет назад
I’m not sure what you mean when you say Lightroom doesn’t display them full screen, and only import them as small photos, so please give me some more details. Are you thinking about the thumbnails in Lightroom, or where do you see small photos? And did you shoot rawfiles or JPG? If your camera is set to save lowres/small JPG images, it might be that. X Acquire basically just saves the same file(s) that your camera saves to the memory card, and that’s what the laptop will receive (and you can set X Acquire to save raw or jpg or both). And unless your Lightroom is set up to do anything but monitor the folder that X Acquire saves to, I can’t see no reason why it shouldn’t work. Check what your camera saves, and check if Lightroom is set up to do anything to the files, and please tell me what you find. Cheers, Eivind Rohne
Is there any benefit to using the paid app instead of this one?
7 лет назад
Well Gavin, the paid app gives you an interface (but you have to run Lightroom to access the interface), so you can control the camera from within the app/Lightrrom, and you also get liveview etc on your monitor. So a lot more functionalilty. The X Acquire just saves files from the camera to a folder while shooting, so it's a very basic program. But Lighroom is too slow and not stable enough for me, so for me the X Acquire is the clear winner. Cheers, Eivind instagram.com/erohne
McAfee is a famous for being adware. It was complete shit before Intel bought it, and now it just has better marketing basically. Nothing will save thr credibility of that trash.
Good video by the way. I was afraid Fuji wouldn't give a free solution for basic tethering. I tried yesterday with USB 2.0 and it works reasonably fast. Cheers

yes, you're right. this a much better solution.
Thanks for you thought out reply. (:
Proper Noun My pleasure!
Thank you very much for these video. I would like you explain to me: Waht cable I need to tether my Fujifilm XT2 to Capture One? And if is necessary to use an other sotfware to do it? What is "TetherTools right angle cable"? Thank you very much!
Thanks, so glad you like the videos! You need a usb cable that fits into the port on the X-T2 (I don’t remember what type of plug it is, but I think this is the one: www.tethertools.com/camera/fuji-x-t2/) and the other end must fit into the usb port if your computer. Tether Tools is a manufacturer of usb cables for tethering (check their website), and a right angle cable is just a cable that doesn’t stick straight out of the camera body, but is angled downward. The process of what software etc you need is explained in the videos. For instance, X Acquire is not a fully fledged program for tethering, it’s only for saving the files to a folder on your computer. So if you want more control over the tethering process, you need either Capture One or Lightroom. The paid version of Capture One now has built-in tethering for Fujifilm by the way, so if you have the full/paid version of Capture One, you don’t need X Acquire.
Hope that helps!

great stuff. Works pretty decent ;) Do you know a workaround to auto apply adjustments like you would do in a normal tethering situation. Like " copy adjustments from last file". Of course you can do it manually afterwards. But in case you have a client overseeing shoot on screen there would be less explanation to do if images where auto corrected allready in import to capture one.
Regards Claus, Denmark
Thanks Claus, really glad you liked it! I contacted Phase about this issue last week, and they say there's no way of having C1 auto adjust from previous image when shooting with the hotfolder function. Sadly.... I really could need that functionality as well.
Cheers,
Eivind
At least there's "copy/paste adjustments", although one of the bugs I ran across (Phase One techs have apparently confirmed it) during the latest agonies: Sometimes using the "apply" tool simply doesn't work as expected. Instead, I have to use the Shift+Control+V keystroke. But at least that works!
Great info. Will not waste my time trying to get it to work then ;)
I don't think it fails in all situations. One in which it fails consistently (at least the Windows version): the "copy adjustments" control in the Keywords panel. Select several images, with the _first_ one selected containing keywords you want to transfer to others. Hold down Shift and click the Keyword tool's "copy/paste adjustments" control. It fails 100% of the time when I try it. To make it work, don't hold down Shift. The usual dialog box opens. You have to put a check-mark into the "Keywords" check-box (which should be checked by default, but isn't). Then proceed with pasting the keywords. Or use Shift+Control+C, then Shift+Control+V. I have seen the "apply settings" routine fail some other times if I click the "apply" controls - but not in all circumstances. Capture One - not just a raw processor...an adventure. :) (But I do like its color rendition, and a lot more.)
Takk for fin video. Ser ut til at dette kun er et program for high-end-segmentet. Da er det vel ingen vits å prøve om det funker på min gode gamle X-E2. Eller...?
Tusen takk Harald! Tethering er forbeholdt X-T1, X-T2 og GFX 50S. Men selv X-Pro2 som jo også er i high-end segmentet har ikke mulighet for tethering, så jeg tror Fujifilm bare har definert noen av kameraene sine som "studio-kameraer", og forbeholdt denne funksjonaliteten til de kameraene.
Hilsen Eivind
Thank you for your very nice video. Although Acquire successfully transfers all my RAW images to the Capture One Capture folder in my current session, the Capture One browser and viewer don’t always automatically update after each RAW image has been transferred. For example, even shooting slowly, the sixth image might only appear in the browser after the seventh image appears in both the browser and the viewer. What might be the likely cause for this? Thanks.
Thanks Richard, really glad you liked it! I had this problem once actually, but I managed to get rid of it. In the C1 menu Camera - Auto select new capture, I set it to "Never". Then I quit C1 completely, restarted it, and set it back to "When ready", and then everything worked just fine. Could you try that and let me know how that works out for you?
Cheers,

Thank you very much for your suggestion, but Capture One 10.0.2 in Windows 10 always re-opens with When Ready selected. The new image always appears in the browser but the viewer isn’t always updated with the new image. The current image in the viewer sometimes remains selected in the browser, not the new one. I will let you know if I find a solution. Thanks, Richard.
Richard Sylvester Hmmm... Strange. Maybe there's a bug in 10.0.2 since it reverts back to "When ready" even though you select something else....? I'm pretty sure I was on an earlier version when I did it. If I where you I'd report this to Phase One tech support and ask.
I have just reported it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Richard Sylvester Let me know how it goes!
Another good one.
I really must find one of those wooden train sets. :)
Thanks Mike! Yeah, they are really wonderful, and you get all kind of accessories for them.
Enough of lens purchases for me, then, and time to start wooden train purchases.
Mike Arst You'll get hooked, and your bank account will feel like a black hole.
What do you mean *_will_* feel? Lenses alone do that.
May I know if I tethering with X Acquire and monitor the image in Capture One, how to let the new capture image popping up automatic(just like 06:58). P.S I am a MAC user so Capture One did not connect to my X-T2 as the software HS-V5 just support windows so the function "Auto Select New Capture" didn't work for me. Thanks Eivind!
Hi there! First of all, make sure you aren't transferring both RAW + JPG files to the computer or it won't work (at least that's my experience). So set up X Acquire to only transfer either the RAW or the JPG, not both. Then in Capture One, go to the menu on top named "Camera", and in that menu, you must select the item "Hot Folder Enabled" so you get a checkmark to the left of the "Hot Folder Enabled" text. If there's no checkmark there, it won't work. And also set "Auto Select New Capture" in the same Capture One menu to "When ready". Could you try these steps and let me know if it works?
Cheers,
Eivind
Hi sir thank you for sharing this video. I wanto ask, Is able for Fujifilm XT100?
Hello Dewa! No, I don't think you can tether with any of the XT100 series cameras.
@ Alright thank you. I just ask with Fijifilm support that fujifilm can tethered is fujifilm XT2 up series.
Are you able to monitor Fujifilm GFX 50s RAF Raw files as well? or just JPG?
It depends on what software you want to use monitoring them. I don't think Capture One supports the GFX50S yet, but Adobe just updated their products to handle GFX 50S rawfiles. So you could use Adobe Bridge if you just want to watch them come in. But if you want to shoot rawfiles straight into Lightroom, you can do that either with the X Acquire program and set Lightroom to monitor the folder that X Acquire saves the files into(helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/import-photos-automatically.html). Or you could use the Fujifilm/Adobe tether shooting plug-in for Win/Mac that was updated to handle GFX files to a couple of days ago (creative.adobe.com/addons/products/12039#.WL_AfYWcEuU).

as I know it is only jepeg :-( Still can not find solution how to get into C1 raw from GFX 50s
I tried this today and it worked ok but Capture One didn't preview the most recent shot taken, just stays on the last one selected, no idea why, seems to work fine in your video. Was so frustrating I pulled the cable after a ten minutes :/
Brian Rolfe Sorry to hear that Brian. Check out the dialogue between Richard Sylvester and me further down in the comments field here. I have experienced the same thing and managed to solve it, but he didn't. Would you give it a try and let me know?

Ok so last night I upgraded to Capture One 10 thinking that might help, it did and didn't... in my studio I have an old Mac Pro and on that I still have the same issue, same thing on my brand new Mac Mini but it all works fine on my Mac Book Pro, strange but I'm happy it's not the other way around as my MBP is what I use on client shoots which obviously is more critical for me! I tried your suggestion in the earlier dialogue but it didn't work unfortunately.
Yeah, that's very strange... And it's a pity if Fujifilm relies on this to be a solid workflow for tethering, and then C1 don't handle the hotfolder functionality well....
Yeah it's really frustrating the co-operation between Phase and Fuji, Capture One is industry standard I wouldn't use anything else and whatever the lack of co-operation is between them we are the ones suffering. I'm really happy that Fuji have come up with a solution that (almost) works but Phase don't seem bothered, that's a shame as it's always been the one thing that bugs me about my switch to Fuji, clients generally need me to shoot tethered, if I can't do that then I have to think about other solutions.
I totally agree with you. Phase has always treated my support issues very professionally, but as soon as I mention any Fuji related questions, they seem to answer in a very nonchalant and non-caring way, like they don't want to have anything to do with it. That's a real pity, because I'm starting to hear a lot of other people say exactly the same thing...
You went from finding the app and the message “no camera.” I got that much. Then all of a sudden your looking at a menu. How’d you get there?
When you connect the camera to the computer and turn it on, you should be able to access the menus of the X Acquire software. But, make sure you have set up your camera correctly like I show at 4:50 in the video. Let me know if it still doesn’t work.

Can you transfer RAW to PC with T1 WIFI?
T1? Do you mean the X-T1? Not sure if that works (I don’t think so), but transferring raw files through wifi is painfully slow.
@ Yes, X-T1. Got that. Thanks!
What about wireless transfer? Thank you.
Yaron Harel Wireless transfer is extremely slow compared to regular tethering, so it’s not really an option unless you don’t need to shoot more than one image every minute or so. I have tested it, but it’s not something I would use in my shooting situations.

Kult å se norske fuji fotografer :)
Takk takk Amund! :)
i already follow ur instruction but i've got one problem that is my capture one do not select newest photo that i shoot from camera. So how can i fix it??
Pe Chenchuphol Hi! The two most common problems I know of that cause C1 not to display the last capture in the main window, is that 1) Both raw + jpg is transferred (the setting in the X Acquire software); only one file type must be transferred, or 2) Under the C1 menu "Camera", you must select the "Hot Folder Enabled" function so you get a checkmark next to it. If those two are correct, it should work if you just click on a file in the browser to show up large in the main window, and when you shoot the next one it should appear automatically. Let me know if you have you tried this?
Cheers,
Eivind
Many Thanks for answer, anyway could you tell me what the C1 menu is??
It's the menu in C1 (Capture One). The whole process when using Capture One (C1) and X Acquire, is that you must first set up a session in C1, then in the settings for the X Acquire program you point the destination folder to the Capture folder generated by C1, and you must also set X Acquire to only transfer RAW or JPG, not both. Then in Capture One, you go to the menu on top called "Camera", and in that menu, you must select the item "Hot Folder Enabled" so you get a checkmark to the left of the "Hot Folder Enabled" text.
How are you making your Capture One automatically preview the next image in the main preview window? I am having to manually go to the filmstrip on the right side and select the last photo taken. I notice that in your capture one, it automatically selects the last photo taken. Thanks for any help!
Hi Chuck! I know a couple of others have had the same issue, but for me it works without any problems. Mine is set up like this: In the C1 Camera menu, I have "Hot folder enabled", and in the same Camera menu I have set the "Auto Select Next Capture" to "When Ready". Then I point C1 to my capture folder in the Library pane, and after I have shot my first image I just click on that thumbnail to get it displayed large in the main window. Then everything works fine with the auto update after that.
But; one thing: If you transfer BOTH raw & jpg from the camera, C1 seems to get in trouble about displaying the most recent file (probably since it receives 2 at a time and can't figure out wich one to display). So I only transfer the raw file to the computer when shooting tethered, not both.
Let me know if this helps.
Cheers,
Eivind
Eivind Røhne thank you so much! Worked perfectly. Keep up the great content!
Chuck Clymer So glad to hear it worked!

Does this work for live view when shooting video? Or is it just for photography?
No, this is just for photography. Do you need to view the video on a bigger monitor, or do you want to record straight to the computer?
@ I shoot myself on-cam so I basically just need to see it in general. And I want to be able to use my laptop because it's so portable and I don't have a lot of space (and don't want to invest in another monitor). Tried to use my phone as a monitor using the Camera Remote app but it's horrible and glitchy. Keeps freezing and disconnecting. Hoping there is a way to work this out!
The cheapest and easiest way would probably to get something like the Feelworld F6 Plus monitor and an HDMI cable. Pretty cheap, and works great. I use it with my Sony cameras.
@ interest ok, i'll check that out. thanks so much!
No problem, just happy to help!
thank you very much
TJ Manou My pleasure!
This test is skewed, before you had profoto and you were waiting for a beep before shooting next frame, this test was done faster since you just pushed every second.
I tried this software with lightroom but it never displays the photos full screen, only imports as small photos .
I’m not sure what you mean when you say Lightroom doesn’t display them full screen, and only import them as small photos, so please give me some more details. Are you thinking about the thumbnails in Lightroom, or where do you see small photos? And did you shoot rawfiles or JPG? If your camera is set to save lowres/small JPG images, it might be that. X Acquire basically just saves the same file(s) that your camera saves to the memory card, and that’s what the laptop will receive (and you can set X Acquire to save raw or jpg or both). And unless your Lightroom is set up to do anything but monitor the folder that X Acquire saves to, I can’t see no reason why it shouldn’t work. Check what your camera saves, and check if Lightroom is set up to do anything to the files, and please tell me what you find.
Cheers,

Nyttig info igjen! Flott at du ikke gir deg, før det virker som det skal :)
Big Rock Takk takk! Nei man kan jo aldri gi seg, he he...
Is there any benefit to using the paid app instead of this one?
Well Gavin, the paid app gives you an interface (but you have to run Lightroom to access the interface), so you can control the camera from within the app/Lightrrom, and you also get liveview etc on your monitor. So a lot more functionalilty. The X Acquire just saves files from the camera to a folder while shooting, so it's a very basic program. But Lighroom is too slow and not stable enough for me, so for me the X Acquire is the clear winner.

Have you actually tried this with the X-Pro2? Does ist really not work?
You cannot shoot tethered with the X-Pro2. It's not possible. Sadly...

Just use Windows Defender software it work way better.
Yep!
McAfee is a famous for being adware. It was complete shit before Intel bought it, and now it just has better marketing basically. Nothing will save thr credibility of that trash.
Good video by the way. I was afraid Fuji wouldn't give a free solution for basic tethering. I tried yesterday with USB 2.0 and it works reasonably fast. Cheers
Gustavo Ferlizi Yeah, McAfee really blew it for me here. Been there, done that. :p
Gustavo Ferlizi And thanks by the way!
Sorry Rommel but no, it's fine on my mac book pro but nothing else.
the behavior of the software was obvious for nerds
He he he....
