2. Connect the camera with your Mac or PC via USB cable

Use a USB cable to connect the camera with your Mac or PC. If the camera and your Mac or PC are compatible with USB3.0, connecting via USB3.0 cable is recommended. USB3.0 cable allows you to convert RAW files in a shorter time.

3. Turn the camera ON

Turn the power switch of the camera ON. The back LCD monitor of the camera will be suppressed and the LED will flash green.

The power saving feature of the camera does not work when it is connected in the USB RAW CONVERSION mode so you will need to make sure the camera has enough battery for the RAW conversion process. The battery level can be checked at the FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO window.
_{* FUJIFILM X-T2 and X100F are driven with USB bus power assist.}
