Fujistyle App: Guide to iOS Connection & Applying Recipes

Welcome to the Fujistyle App! This guide will walk you through connecting your Fujifilm camera to your iOS device (iPhone/iPad) via USB. This allows you to apply film simulation recipes directly to your camera with a single tap, streamlining your creative workflow.

1. Prerequisites

Before you begin, please ensure you have the following:

• Application: The latest version of the Fujistyle App installed on your iPhone or iPad.
• Fujifilm Camera: A supported Fujifilm camera model (see list below).
• Correct Cables:For USB-C iOS Devices (e.g., iPhone 15 series): Use a high-quality USB-C to USB-C data cable. The official Fujifilm cable included with your camera is highly recommended.
• For Lightning iOS Devices: You must use an official Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter or Apple Lightning to USB-C Adapter. Connect this to a high-quality USB-A to USB-C data cable.

• Camera Battery: Ensure your camera has sufficient battery power to prevent disconnection.

2. Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful connection.

Step 1: Set the Camera's Connection Mode (Crucial Step)

This is the most critical step for a successful connection.

• Turn on your Fujifilm camera.
• Press the MENU/OK button to enter the main menu.
• Navigate to the SETUP menu (wrench icon 🔧) > CONNECTION SETTING > CONNECTION MODE.
• Select one of the following two modes:
• USB TETHER SHOOTING FIXED (Recommended)
• USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE

Step 2: Connect Your Devices

• With the camera powered on, use the appropriate cable/adapter setup to connect your camera to your iOS device.

Step 3: Open App, Authorize, and Apply

This step combines authorization and applying the recipe.

• Open the Fujistyle App. The app's home screen should now recognize and display your connected camera model.
• Select your desired recipe and go to its details page. Tap the "Apply to Camera" button.
• Authorize the Connection: The first time you do this, iOS will display a permission pop-up.
• Permission Prompt: The pop-up will ask: "Allow This Accessory to Communicate?" (or similar wording).
• You MUST tap "Allow". This is essential for granting the app access to your camera. If you accidentally tap "Don't Allow" or miss the prompt, unplug the cable, plug it back in, and try applying the recipe again.
• Application Complete: Once authorized, the recipe will be automatically written to your selected custom setting slot on the camera.

Step 4: Verify the Recipe on Your Camera

• On your camera, check if the custom settings (e.g., C1) now match the recipe's parameters.
• Ensure your camera's main Mode Dial is set to a creative mode like M (Manual), A (Aperture Priority), S (Shutter Priority), or P (Program Auto). The recipe will not be active in AUTO or SP (Scene) modes.

3. Future Features

• Wireless Recipe Transfer: We are actively developing a feature to transfer recipes over a Wi-Fi connection, offering you a cable-free and even more flexible experience. Stay tuned!

5. FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q1: The app says "Camera Not Connected" even though it's plugged in.

• Check Camera Mode: Double-check that the camera's CONNECTION MODE is correctly set to USB TETHER SHOOTING FIXED or USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE.
• Check Your Cable: Ensure you are using a data transfer cable, not a "charge-only" cable.
• Check Authorization: If the iOS "Allow" prompt didn't appear, try restarting both your phone and camera.
• Restart Everything: Disconnect the cable. Power off both your camera and your iOS device completely. Turn them back on and follow the steps from the beginning.
• Check Ports: Ensure the USB ports on both devices are clean and free of dust or debris.

Q2: I have an older iPhone with a Lightning port and it won't connect.

• USE OFFICIAL APPLE ADAPTERS. This is the most common reason for failure. Third-party adapters have unreliable compatibility. We strongly recommend using an official Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter or Apple Lightning to USB-C Adapter.

Q3: I applied a recipe, but I don't see the effect on my camera screen.

This is a common issue. Check the following:

1. Check Custom Dial: First, make sure your camera's Mode Dial is turned to the custom slot you applied the recipe to (e.g., C1, C2, etc.).
2. Check Shooting Mode: Confirm your shooting mode is P, A, S, or M. Recipes are overridden in AUTO or SP modes.

• Pro Tip: Force Live View PreviewSet the camera's CONNECTION MODE to USB TETHER SHOOTING FIXED.
• Why it works: In this mode, many Fujifilm models will force-render the recipe's effect in the live view. This bypasses other internal settings that might interfere, allowing you to see the final look before you shoot. If you can't see the effect, try this setting.

Q4: My camera screen says "Busy" or is unresponsive after connecting.

• Close Conflicting Apps: Force-quit any other apps that might be trying to communicate with your camera via USB. This includes:
• The official FUJIFILM XApp or Cam Remote.
• Lightroom Mobile (if it's trying to import photos).
• The native iOS Photos app.

Q5: The connection is unstable and keeps disconnecting.

• This is almost always a physical connection issue. Try a different, high-quality data cable and ensure your adapter (if used) is securely plugged in.

Q6: I can't reconnect after unplugging the cable.

• The connection needs a moment to reset. Avoid plugging and unplugging rapidly. If it fails to reconnect, disconnect the cable, turn off the camera or force-quit the app, wait for 30 seconds, and then try connecting again.

6. Disclaimer

The Fujistyle App is a third-party tool designed to provide a convenient way to apply recipes to Fujifilm cameras. Due to the complexity of software and hardware interactions, you agree to assume all potential risks when using this feature.

These risks include, but are not limited to:

• Data Overwriting: The "Apply to Camera" action will overwrite the selected custom setting (C1-C7) on your camera.
• Potential Conflicts: Improper operation, incompatible firmware/OS versions, or connection interruptions could lead to unpredictable behavior.

We strongly recommend that you:

• Back Up Your Settings: Before applying any recipe, always use your camera's menu to back up your personal custom settings.
• Operate with Caution: Ensure a stable connection, sufficient battery power, and follow this guide carefully.
