**** The following features are supported for specific Fujifilm cameras starting from Capture One 16.7.0 and later:
Focus Cursor Tool. Capture One now has a new cursor tool in Live View that allows you to click
anywhere on the image to focus on the selected spot. The feature is available to all tethering
Fujifilm models. The cursor tool is only visible while tethering with a supported model.
Camera Focus from Capture One. Camera focus can be controlled when tethering Fujifilm cameras. Works on all Fujifilm camera models that support tethering.
Respect in-camera crop. The crop set in camera will appear as initial crop in Capture One, where it’ll still be editable. Supported with GFX100RF, X-E5, X-H2, X-M5, X-T5, X-T50 and X100VI.
Add Drive Mode setting. Drive Mode can be set in Capture One when tethering the following Fujifilm models: X-T5 (setting is read only because it is a physical dial), GFX 100RF, GFX 100II, GFX 100SII, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20 and X-M5.
Please note that the following features are fully applicable for the latest supported DSLRs offered by Nikon, Canon, and Sony (for example, D850, 5D Mk IV, and A7 III respectively).
