    ā€œFUJIFILM XAppā€ is the advanced application software for the current one, ā€œFUJIFILM Camera Remoteā€, with which wireless communication becomes more stable and faster so that images and movies transportation from the camera becomes more smooth and comfortable with the smartphone and tablet terminal.
