Capture One 20 has just been released, and the newest version of Phase One’s Photo Editing Software comes with changes to the interface, improved and re-engineered tools, as well as some other improvements and features. According to the company, many of the changes in Capture One 20 come from user feedback. Capture One 20.x Software for Windows Fujifilm Camera Control in Live View. Program name: Capture One 20 Capture One is a photo editing software developed by Phase One. It has features such as repairing layers, keystone correction, film grain and local adjustmnets. Capture one 12 is available for both Windows and macOS. Web page: captureone.com. Last update: 20 March 2020. Go on reading my Capture One review to find out why this program is good but still isn’t the best. Dealing with Color. Is definitely one of the most important advantages of Capture One Pro. Moreover, it is a crucial reason why many shooters prefer Capture One Pro 20 to Lightroom.

2. Capture One 20 Support

It’s “OK.” The frame rate of what you see in that live view window is a lot slower than I was expecting (check out the video below as see if you agree), and while the folks who have been waiting forever for this feature will probably be fine with it, it’s not a big advantage for what I shoot, and I think the slow frame rate would get on my nerves, so I’ll be skipping it for now, but I would expect that it’ll get faster in a future update (that’s no inside intel — I just think they’ll get some feedback on this).

NOTE: There’s no audio — this is just to see the frame rate example.

Now that you’ve seen it — am I being too picky on the frame rate thing? Let me know in the comments below.

Update on Monday’s Post about the Sony Tethering Plug-in (and why Nikon Users Might Want To Use It)

Well, it appears the folks at Tethertools got wind of my post on Monday (since they contacted me), but luckily they only had one thing they wanted to address — my comment on why a Nikon user would want to use their Smart Shooter 4 plug-in, since Nikon’s have been able to tether straight into Lightroom for like 11 years.

Here’s the line from their Website that had me scratching my head:

“The end results are a fast, stable tethering connection with SONY users and added features for Nikon users – seamlessly integrated with Adobe Lightroom Classic.”

Well, they told me what it is that Nikon users would love, and I have to admit, I think they’re right (just based on how many Nikon users have complained about this Lightroom tethering feature that Canon shooters get they Nikon users don’t.

The mystery is solved!

What Nikon users get with this plug-in is the ability to simultaneously write to their camera’s memory card, and the computer they’re tethering with. Something they’ve never been able to do in Lightroom (but Canon shooters have been able to do from the start). So, that’s the advantage (and why they point it out on their site). You can download a free trial version from their Website.

Thanks to Jessica at Tethertools for reaching out and letting me in on the secret (it’s not really a secret, but that sounds a look more interesting to call it that). 😉

Here’s wishing you a safe, happy, fun weekend. 🙂

P.S. The Flash Conference (featuring Joe McNally) is coming next month. Hundreds of photographers have already signed up — don’t miss out on this live, two-day, two track event. Here’s the link for more details and tickets.

If you are an editorial, portrait, product, landscape or commercial photographer, there is a great chance you’ll be needing fujifilm tethering to Capture One Pro once in your professional career. You might want to show your work directly to your client, or through the computer to avoid the small screen and apply some settings.

The fujifilm tethering is the ideal way to allow your client, art director, or the whole team to see the work on a larger screen, with images displayed live, with or without a specific development mode applied.

This article will clear things up for those of you who might want to try but find it really complex. How to configure the Fujifilm bodies, how to connect to Capture One Pro, and what we can now do with it (further versions of Capture One Pro and firmware updates from Fujifilm will soon allow more features).

Gear needed

First of all, you need some gear, basically what you need is a cable to connect your computer to your camera, the rest is a nice to have, makes life easier, but it’s not necessary to start tethering.

I personally use Tethertools cables to connect my fujifilm X-H1 or my Fujifilm X-T3 to my computer. In my case I need the USB-C to USB-C for one camera, and USB-C to USB-3.0 for the other. But one important thing to take into consideration when buying the cable is to get one long enough. We often start with a short one, but it’s too short from day 1. Go for the 4.6 meter one, the longest from Tethertools, you’ll never be bothered by it being too long, but you’ll always be missing it if you purchase the short one when shooting through any tethering such as in this case fujifilm tethering.

Nonetheless, in the setup i’ll be showing below, i set it up with my Apple USB-C to USB-C cable from my computer, the shoot was going to last 1-2 hours, the computer lasts for 10, I knew i was safe and didn’t have any problem tethering that way over my tripod.

Fujifilm tethering to capture one step by step

1. On your Fujifilm Camera , open the menu and go to Tools
   1. Connection settings
      1. PC Connection
         1. Set it to USB Auto or USB Fixed
2. Then connect your USB cable to your camera (if you try beforehand it won’t work), and to your computer.
3. Finally, once the cable is connected to camera and computer, you can open Capture One Pro
   1. Go to the Tethering tab and you’ll see your camera and all the settings… you’re done and ready to shoot !

From now on, you can shoot and you’re tethering to your computer. Furthermore you can shoot by pressing the shutter from CaptureOne Pro or from your camera, both will work and images will be transferred directly. However, at this stage you can’t set film simulations nor can you set the speed, aperture from Capture One, you’ll have to do that from the camera.

My setup for fujifilm tethering to Capture One

• Fujifilm X-T3 or Fujifilm X-H1
• Stable & Solid tripod

To assist you in your first setup and trying tethering with your fujifilm camera, you’ll find a simple setup. I use the gear listed above to create a single post, on location, tripod based tethering station. In this case i’m just using my iPhone cable as mentioned above, it works perfectly for shoots requiring compositing for example.

Hoping that this post can be useful to you, and can make it easier for you to try some fujifilm tethering with capture one pro and your fujifilm cameras, I wish you a lot of pleasure in your shoots, and look forward to meeting you through my website, by comments at the bottom of this article, by the newsletter, by email or simply in real life. Do not hesitate to leave me a message, I will answer you with pleasure.
