by 1 Comment

Fujifilm’s X Webcam software proved to be a big hit when it was released for the PC a couple of months ago and Fujifilm announced not too long ago that their X-T200 and X-A7 models would work as USB webcams for both the PC and Mac without any other software at all (as long as you installed a firmware update).

Well now, Fujifilm has released X Webcam for the Mac, allowing you to use your Fujifilm GFX100, GFX 50S, GFX 50R, X-H1, X-Pro2, X-Pro3, X-T2, X-T3 or X-T4 on your Mac over USB for live streaming or video conferencing with the likes of Skype and Zoom.

Fujifilm recently announced their Fuji X Webcam software that essentially simulates a capture device from your camera’s live view – although, unlike Panasonic’s solution, it actually shows up as a capture device. Well, the big news is on that one is that it’s coming to the Mac next month.

But for Fujifilm X-T200 and X-A7 owners, there’s other big news. A new firmware update allows you to plug those cameras straight into your computer via USB and have them automatically detected as regular old USB webcams without the need for the Fuji X Webcam software. Oh, yeah, and that also works, right now, with a Mac.

It’s brought online video conferencing to the forefront of our minds, but with everybody buying up webcams, the decent ones are pretty much impossible to find now. Chances are, demand for webcams will say high for a while, too.

Well, Fuji has now launched its new Fujifilm X Webcam software for Windows. With the assistance of a USB cable, it allows you to turn a number of Fuji cameras into webcams for use with your computer to get results better than anything you could hope for with your standard USB webcam. It even works with their medium format GFX cameras.
