Fujifilm GFX 100S Tethering - Lifeview and camera controls

Permanently deleted user

Solution to try: buy an additional tether boost pro cable to plug into your existing tether cord which allows you to transfer larger files.

I do major commercial photoshoots and was having similar issues with tethering not working properly with Capture One 21 while using the Canon R5, usb-c. They said the file size of the images is too large for the standard tether cord transfer capabilities. AKA the tether cord can only transfer so many Gbits at a time and therefore if the files are too large it freaks out. They suggested getting the The TetherBoost Pro USB-C Core Controller Extension Cable extends and enhances the Type-C signal an additional 16 feet (5m) to move your images up to 10Gbits for the fastest and most secure way to transfer your files from your camera to your computer. I never ended up doing this because I returned the Canon R5 and was planning to switch to the Fuji GFX 100s - but after reading these posts I am hesitant. If anyone ends up trying this solution and it works I would love to hear about it.

 

Go to the site and see how much Gbps your cord can handle because the longer the cord is the less Gbps it can transfer. For usb-c to usb-c it is as follows:

  • 3′ / 0.9m – USB 3.1 Gen 2, 10 Gbps, 3A
  • 6′ / 1.8m – USB 3.1 Gen 1, 5 Gbps, 3A
  • 10′ / 3m – USB 3.1 Gen 1, 5 Gbps, 3A
  • 15′ / 4.6m – USB 3.1 Gen 1, 5 Gbps, 3A
  • 31′ / 9.4m – USB 3.1 Gen 1, 5 Gbps, 3A

When you add the tether boost

It supposedly increases whatever above cable you have by 10Gbs. (Again I have not tested this on the R5 or the Fuji but I think it is worth a shot).

If you have the USB port on your computer and not the USB-C port the numbers may vary so look on the website to see. My computer has USB-C and the fuji uses USB-C.
