Fuji GFX tethered shooting and live view

Permanently deleted user

Hello,

I've been shooting tethered with a Sony A7R II and Capture One for quite a while and just added a GFX 100s to the studio. There are 2 annoying issues that I don't have when tethered with the Sony. The first is taking a capture during live view which is not possible in Capture One with the GFX. So in order to shoot I have to pause the live view, take a shot, then start the live view again. When shooting hundreds of images at a fast pace in a single day this becomes very inefficient. It's not a camera limitation, because I've tested the tethering with Lightroom and the Fuji Plugin, and this is possible to do. Does anyone know if and when Capture One will add this ability or if there's a workaround like some sort of pause/capture/play macro that can be implemented to a hot key?

The other issue is that the live view doesn't fill the whole monitor. I'm working with two 30" monitors, one of which is dedicated to the live view, but the stream only fills about half the screen which becomes difficult to hit critical focus on when 8+ feet away. The stream also randomly resizes to smaller/bigger sizes when zooming in and out. Is there a way to have the stream maximized like with the Sony?

Thanks

Zach

    I have same issue, live view shooting works fine with my Sony camera but need to stop and start with Fuji. Hopefully this gets fixed with an update, I did notice it working much better in C1 v22, I removed all other versions of C1 and installed fresh and everything worked (except the live view shooting).

    I do not have the issue with regard to full screen live view however, that's working fine for me with Ezio monitor, so that may be a screen/display settings issue.

    Note that the Camera information table specifically notes that Live View is not available.

    There is nothing to prevent the use of the "Hot Folder" approach to tethering which, if I understand things correctly, is the equivalent of the LR/Fuji Plugin approach mentioned in the first post.

    Presumably there is some limitation in internal systems that prevents the effective use of the LIve View functionality being run directly from Capture One rather than through the camera's internal systems.

    After updating to C1 v22 and removing al other versions this is working really well.. I can even shoot in live view but only via the app, not by pressing the camera shutter, so I tend to shoot in live view for setup and then take a final shot for focus check using camer shutter. aside from that it's all wonderful!
