Fujifilm has just rolled out fresh firmware updates for its X-H2, X-H2S, and FT-HX. These updates make connecting to smartphones, tablets, and workflow systems safer, faster, and more reliable.
Whether you're shooting high-speed action with the X-H2S, managing complex shoots with the X-H2, or wireless transmitting files on the FT-HX, these updates smooth out the tech friction and keep you in control.
Across the board, Fujifilm has strengthened wireless security, changed pairing procedures, and removed legacy menus to simplify operations. That means no more hunting through old "Wireless Communication" menus – everything is now streamlined for modern devices and apps.
But the update isn't just about security: it's about workflow efficiency, stability, and ensuring your camera keeps pace with today's demanding production environments.
Each camera also gets some tailored tweaks.
The X-H2S benefits from broader system optimizations, ensuring fast, reliable connections and stable operation for intense shooting sessions.
The X-H2 keeps things smooth for hybrid shooters who rely on the XApp ecosystem. Meanwhile, the FT-HX file transmitter sees its wireless performance and app integration upgraded, meaning your critical files move quickly and securely from camera to device without extra hassle.
