Pretty cool function but it probably drains the batteries in the camera and the wireless device controlling it. You can also wirelessly move the images from the camera to the device controlling it, jpegs only I believe. The people in the room were aware of what I was up to and were amazed each time the camera fired, there were some interesting "poses" because they wanted to see if I was paying attention. As a test I left the camera in a room and then left the room (just around the corner) and was able to manipulate the camera and take photos at will. I can see what the camera sees and adjust exposure and focus, among other things. Tell the camera to start broadcasting, tell the device (iPod) to connect to the wireless network the camera is sending out then click/touch to open the application. Using an Xt-1 with an Apple iPod I've had success with the connection. But this wasn't as important to me as getting wireless connectivity between the camera and mobile device. And it's a huge resource hog so I deleted it after trying for a day to get it working. The handful of owners of the same equipment who say they've successfully connected the camera and tablet say the sequence wasn't critical anyway.Īnd FWIW I also tried the Fuji "PC AutoSave" software, which does use the home (or other) WiFi between the PC and Fuji X-camera. I've tried varying the sequence of steps too - no luck. I can see the Fuji camera establishing a connection with the Kindle tablet. Using these apps and devices bypasses the home WiFi, setting up their own little network, so my DSL modem should be irrelevant.

I just wasted a couple of hours yesterday trying to get Fuji's wireless apps working between my X-A1 and PC or Kindle Fire HD (Android under the skin, side-loading the apps).
