<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNext, you\u2019ll need software, and this is where X Series users are spoiled for choice with multiple options.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Capture One<\/h3>\n
This professional-grade software is something of a standard in many photo studios, thanks to its speed and the level of control it gives you when you\u2019re making images. You can control every aspect of the camera\u2019s performance \u2013 from focusing and exposure to the Film Simulation mode of the image after it\u2019s been created.<\/p>\n
You can download Capture One Pro or Capture One FUJIFILM from captureone.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Connect the camera and switch it on. Next, choose File > New Session, and fill in the details for your shoot, including where you want to save the images. Capture One creates a series of folders for each session and saves images in the folder called Capture.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Adobe Lightroom Classic<\/h3>\n
If you are already a user of this popular application, it makes sense to choose it as your tethered software, too. As you photograph, images are imported right into your existing workflow, and can even pick up develop presets and metadata on import, saving you loads of time.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll need the FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in, which you can purchase from the Adobe Exchange.<\/p>\n
When your camera is switched on and connected, launch the application and select File > Tethered Capture > Start Tethered Capture. You\u2019ll see a dialogue box that you can fill in before clicking OK to start creating.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

FUJIFILM X Acquire<\/h3>\n
The beauty of this software is its simplicity. The app is small and fast and runs in the background, shuttling pictures from your camera over to your computer in a location you specify. And that\u2019s it! If you want to see them on the screen as they come in, you can get your computer to open them into a viewer automatically from a watched folder using automation software.<\/p>\n
