Creating and sharing images is easy with your X Series camera thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the free FUJIFILM Camera Remote app.

It’s simple to connect your device and, when you do, you can enjoy almost instant image transfer. All you have to do is download the app here, on the Apple App store, or on Google Play, follow these instructions, and you’re ready to roll!

Turn on the camera, press MENU OK, and navigate to the SET UP menu, and then scroll down to CONNECTION SETTING. Then select Bluetooth SETTINGS. Now select PAIRING REGISTRATION. The camera will begin searching for your device. In the FUJIFILM Camera Remote app, tap PAIRING REGISTRATION. You’ll see the camera’s name on your smart device — tap this to complete the pairing process. Once Pairing is complete, you’ll be prompted to set the date/time from your smart device.

As well as transferring your images, the app allows you to use your iOS or Android device as a remote control, so you can operate the shutter and adjust advanced settings such as white balance, ISO, and lens aperture from your phone.

Whether on a deadline or keen to get your pictures seen by the world, forget cables and computers — connect your X Series camera with the world without wasting a single moment.

Here are just a couple of ways wireless connectivity can help you.

Go Pro With Your Instagram

Uploading your professional-quality X Series photos to your Instagram account will help it stand out from the crowd, with spectacular images clearly distinct from your friend’s phone snaps. And it’s easy. Here’s how:

From the Q Menu on your X Series camera, choose 1:1 in Image Size. This will give your images a square crop to ensure they have the maximum impact on your followers’ feeds. Compose and make your image, which will be framed and ready for use on Instagram in square format. Connect using the Wireless Communication function in the Shooting Setting menu and the Bluetooth Settings menu, along with your phone’s Bluetooth & Wi-Fi settings. Follow the instructions on the camera screen to save your images to your device, then upload to Instagram!

Be a Solo Pro With Wireless Connectivity

Gone are the days of getting your arm awkwardly in the frame when trying to make selfies, or roping in a friend to help you with pictures. Be your own professional photographer with wireless connectivity.

Outfit-of-the-day images and group pictures have never been easier to create. Use a tripod or rest your camera on a suitable surface, then set up and photograph with the FUJIFILM Camera Remote app. You’ll see the view live on your phone, so there’s no guesswork involved.

This is also a great way to avoid camera shake if you want to get creative with long exposures or even try your hand at astrophotography. The possibilities are endless!
