How can I pair my Fujifilm Camera with PhotoSync to transfer photos / videos or enable remote shooting?

After successful configuration you will be able to transfer photos / videos from your Fujifilm camera to your iPhone / iPad over Wi-Fi. PhotoSync also enables shoot & transfer (wireless tethering): Photos & videos are transferred to your iPhone / iPad right after shooting. Optionally, immediate transfer to remote locations (computer, NAS, cloud) can be configured, plus photo booth support over HDMI & Airplay to a big TV screen is also possible.

Requirements

PhotoSync for iOS 4.5 or higher
Supported Fujifilm cameras

Optional

For direct transfer to remote targets like NAS or cloud connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network or mobile hotspot is required. If your camera does not offer the option to connect to a Wi-Fi network, you can use the cellular connection of your iOS device, while being connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of your camera.

Step 1

Open the record or playback menu of your camera and select the “Wireless Communcation” option and confirm your selection with the OK button.
