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).

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
- On your Fujifilm Camera , open the menu and go to Tools
- Connection settings
- PC Connection
- Set it to USB Auto or USB Fixed
- PC Connection
- Connection settings
- Then connect your USB cable to your camera (if you try beforehand it won’t work), and to your computer.
- Finally, once the cable is connected to camera and computer, you can open Capture One Pro
- 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.
Capture One Pro Fujifilm 128
Phase One has just announced Capture One Pro 12. Their yearly major update comes in line with their previous announcement to support Fujifilm gear in the best way possible, and here’s how what you need to know about this new release.
What’s new in Capture One Pro 12 ?
Well, for those of you who are on previous versions of this incredible software that’s Capture One Pro, you already know about the RAW conversion which is outstanding, the colour grading which is utmost excellent, and you are also aware about recipes and how it can improve your workflow. So why… why upgrade to Capture One Pro 12 ?
Well here we go for the major features which will blow your mind
- New Luminosity mask integration
- Improved radial & linear gradient with feathering & rotating
- Easy copying of adjustments
- Updated interface & icons
- Improved masking & feathering of masks
- Opening up to Third party Extensions
- Fujifilm Film simulations
With all this, considering it’s just the beginning, we can expect great things to come out of these new decisions of Phase One. Building the leader in software editing and culling, from a place of experience, and excellence, integration with Photoshop & Affinity has been improved too, for those who have not made the switch… I would recommend you hit the trial button and give it a deep go !
What’s in for you Fujifilm users ?
You’re in for your rollercoaster ride fujifilm users. Now, with the previous integration of the fujifilm X-T3 and GFX, this comes with more integration. Improved tethering, and your film simulations. You can now go ahead and classic Chrome or whatever other film simulation you can think about and kick it in your images.
The various points which were making fujifilm users weary about switching to Capture One Pro have just left the room, add this to Profoto Support to Fujifilm through the Air system, and you now have a complete workflow to back up the level of quality you want to address.

How can this impact your workflow ?
We started with hot folders, and no Fujifilm integration with most systems. No profoto TTL, no Capture One recognition of the cameras, same with photoshop, it was tricky, seriously tricky for professional use.
Now we’re really talking. You can shoot Tethered with your fujifilm cameras, or shoot in a standard way and then create Capture One Pro sessions or catalogues. Once you’re done importing, you switch to your Fujifilm simulations, grade a bit more, work on your luminosity masks, heal & cleanup, go to photoshop, do a round trip to Capture one, and export through recipes.
Soon, with the integration of new third party extensions, the wildest dreams will come true. We can most certainly imagine integrations to some galleries, proofing tools, compression software such as JPG Mini, and much more to help the high-end pro in his business.
TLDR
Capture One Pro 12 has just come out with amazing features such as luminosity masks, fujifilm simulations, improved tethering and radial/linear mask rotation, feathering and masking, and opens up to third party extensions. Don’t miss out on this incredible update.

Conclusion
I have been waiting for these updates and was imagining they would come, but they are really pushing the boundaries. I can’t say enough about this new version of the software and how it’s going to affect my work, my workflow and make me save time and energy to provide my client with his final files.
