New “Fujifilm XApp” Smartphone App for the GFX / X Series Digital Cameras

Fujifilm announced the launch of “Fujifilm XApp”, a new app for use with the GFX / X Series of digital cameras. The app will be released for download on May 25, 2023.

FUJIFILM already has a camera remote app on the market, but some were complaining about limited functionality including connectivity issues between their FUJIFILM cameras and smart devices.

The new XApp is addressing exactly those issues. FUJIFILM is advertising the new XApp with seamless, quicker connectivity.

The second new feature of the XApp is that you can transfer images while the camera is still recording or even when it is completely powered off. The App also comes with a new high-contrast design in black and white for better visibility. When you connect your camera via Bluetooth, you have a live view function and can control start/stop recording next to your camera settings, like aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.
