Connecting a Fujifilm camera

Over USB

Connect over USB-C with the camera set to USB tether/PC shoot for a reliable link.

Over Wi-Fi

Fujifilm Wi-Fi tethering is experimental in CloudTether — use a USB cable for paid work.

CloudTether is camera tethering software for iPhone, iPad and Android. Weighing it against Fujifilm's own tools and desktop apps? See the best camera tethering software roundup.

Coming from Fujifilm XApp?

Fujifilm XApp is great for remote control and quick shares. If you need every full-resolution shot delivered automatically, see how CloudTether compares — or fix the app first.

Tethering to a computer instead? The free Fujifilm Tether App (formerly X Acquire) tethers X and GFX bodies to a Mac or Windows PC, and Fujifilm's Tether Shooting Plug-in (standard or PRO) adds tethering to Lightroom Classic. For a phone, use CloudTether over USB.

  • Upload once, fan out to multiple destinations
  • Works on mobile data — no venue Wi-Fi needed
  • Local mode: save straight to your phone's library
