Fujifilm's own tethering plugins for Lightroom and Capture One have a reputation for being fragile — TETHER STUDIO talks to Fujifilm bodies directly over USB without any vendor plugins.

  1. Install TETHER STUDIO
  2. Connect the Fujifilm body via USB-C
  3. Set connection mode on the camera: Menu → Connection Setting → PC Connection Mode → USB Tether Shoot Auto (or USB Tether Shoot Fixed for locked folder paths)
  4. Launch TETHER STUDIO and click Connect

Supported bodies

X-T5, X-T4, X-H2, X-H2S, X-Pro3, X100VI, and the entire GFX line (GFX 50S II, GFX 100S, GFX 100 II).

GFX note: Tethering 100MP files over USB-C is bandwidth-heavy. Use the bundled USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable that shipped with the camera rather than a third-party cable, and shoot to lossless compressed RAW to keep transfer times manageable.
