Webcam Fuji

[Nolan Guyz]

Somecamera settings cannot be changed while the camera is connected to a computer; adjust settings before proceeding. You will also need to adjust the following settings when using the camera as a webcam for a web conferencing app:

Launching FUJIFILM X Webcam 2 displays a settings dialog. These settings can be changed while the camera is connected to the computer; to change other settings, you must first turn the camera off and disconnect the USB cable before adjusting settings using camera controls.

As it's always trying to find focus - focusing in and focusing out. I have tried every option i could think of, from switching to manual, to all the options autofocus offers. Inspite of switching to manual, the camera is still trying to find the focus.

I have been searching everywhere for a fix and this is the closest I've come! I can't help but as soon as I figure it out, I'll be right back to this forum with an answer! Have you had any luck since posting a month ago?

... I found two ways to lessen or eliminate the problem: (1) more light in the room -- the brighter the light, the less the X-T200 will hunt for focus and repeatedly blur the webcam image in the process; or (2) replace the Fuji XC or XF lens with a 3rd party lens and a -to- Fuji-X adaptor, and then that lens will work fine with the X-T200 in aperture priority, manual-focus-only mode -- but now the webcam will no longer auto-focus at all, obviously, so you'll need to use an aperture setting giving enough depth-of-field that your image doesn't go out-of-focus during your web-meeting.

Hey I'm having the same issues described...it's been very frustrating having the camera constantly adjust its focus.

As mentioned, more light does help the issue, but this also makes me look like the pale computer nerd that I am!

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that you cant force the webcam into an manual focus mode??

Would that not solve this problem entirely? Set the thing up on your desk, adjust the focus ring and then leave it...easy right?

@Fujifilm, can we get a firmware update that disables the autofocus please???

Using a fixed portrait lens makes it very workable. Still zooming but now just from my nose to other parts of my face. That is not so annoying anymore. Or with another lens zoom in on your face for the same effect. bonus nice bokeh effect downside your faces is getting realy big :)

1. XT100 is considered one of the cameras that has "clean hdmi", but once i plugged in the camera, i have to take off all display so it could work as webcam, unlike the tutorial in YT, camera has display settings on while output has none.

2. Setting the 4K Record to HDMI instead of SD Card.

(This will give you a 4K output but only a max of 15 frames per second)

3. Remove all settings like face detection and touch from the display

(This will produce a Cropped, Blurry and Low Resolution OUT.)

Remove Display info by pressing [DISP BACK]

Remove Side buttons by disabling Touch:

Fujifilm sent me this in response to the same question:

"The FUJIFILM X-T100 supports "Clean" HDMI output only when video recording is started.

If you do not start video recording, the camera reduces the resolution of the display and fades in the info elements.

the info elements."

please help me i have fujifilm XT-100, i wanna use it as webcam, i've already purchase video capture card, but once i plugged the cable, nothing happened wether in my laptop screen nor my camera display.

Please Note that the X-T100 is a very bad camera if you want to use it for streaming as a video capture device.

It does NOT have Clean HDMI out... UNLESS you press the RECORD button, which requires an SD card and is limited to 30min per session... Or you can chose to output 4K to HDMI, bypassing the SD card and the record limit, but that will only be at 15 frames per second. This defeats the point of Clean HDMI out, as the only way you can get it, is if the camera is recording.

That being said, the camera outputs an HDMI source always when a cable is connected, so I don't think it is any settings in the camera, most probably it is your Capture card or the way you set it up on your pc, or your cable...

Try this:

I found that manual states webcam capability only on WindowsXP SP1, which is also required for the other end of video chat (? - what if there's a different webcam with its own sofware/drivers working on say, Mac? Ain't gonna work? You've got to be kidding me!).

I own a Fujifilm 16 megapixel camera. One day, out of nowhere, I tried taking a photo. But once I turned the camera on, an error message appeared: "Turn off the camera and turn on again." No matter how many times I turned it on/off, nothing changed. How can I fix this?

The camera is showing this message because it has detected a bad state. The turning off and on can clear up temporary states but sometimes you have to go further by also removing the batter and memory card. Try again after leaving out the battery for a min or two. No need to insert the memory card as that will add another potential point of failure.

If it powers on without showing the error message after reinserting the battery, then add the memory card back to see if it causes the error. If it does, you can reformat it on most computers with a card reader or just replace it.

If it shows again the error message then the camera has a default which causes it to be in a bad state and you will have to get it serviced professionally or replace it. Always ask the price first before agreeing on the repair. For low-end products, it can cost as much to fix as getting a new one! Or at least buying a working used model.

I had the same issue with my fujifilms100x and without noticing I read this thread on another camera. I got rid of the problem by holding the off button down. It made a weird sound and I thought:"that's it, to the repair shop..." Then the error message came up again and I did the same thing.I turned it on and off and it's worked fine ever since. I imagine it's a re-setting mechanism fuji film has built into their cameras.

Anthony Burokas: Let's talk remote cameras, because when your guest is remote, the camera is remote too. So, obviously, for remote cameras, we have the built-in webcams in laptops and some desktop computers and all-in-ones. And, generally, these aren't very good. We all know how bad they look. The resolution is 720p, if that, and the camera itself is not great. It's easily washed out if you've got lighting behind you, or if there's a window to the side. If somebody puts all the windows behind them, you really have no hope unless you want to have a shadow as a guest.

The selfie cameras on a cellphone or a tablet are a distinct step up. If you're looking at someone's laptop webcam, and it's looking awful, and it's got fingerprints on it, ask your remote guest, "Do you have an iPad or a tablet? Let's try to connect with that and see how it looks." And I can literally place it on the screen of their laptop and act as the laptop, but the camera will be better, and they can plug in earbuds right into the tablet and be good to go with both microphone.

External USB webcams offer another distinct step up over nearly every computer's internal webcam. If your guest has an external webcam anywhere in the house, or anywhere in the office, have them use it if you want them to have a better image quality and sound.

I'm partial to Logitech. I have three of them, and I've purchased them with my own money. I use them. There are other ones out there. I am not an expert in every webcam. I have tested a few, and I know that if you're going to spend $15 on Amazon for a 4K webcam, it's not going to be that good. If Logitech is charging $200 for the Brio, there's a reason why a good webcam costs more money. So when I say get a good webcam, I mean, at least $50 to $100. A hundred dollars can get you a really good webcam that will deliver a superior picture. You could even change the focus on it, things like that.

So now the challenge, if you want to use an external webcam and they don't have it, the challenge is to get it to the client. They're hard to source at this point, but if you can find them, get a couple, and then use a bubble mailer and send it out to your client and include a return receipt in there. So when they're done, they stuff it back in the bag, put a new label on top, and send it back to you this way. You're not without it for a long time. If you have a client you want to impress, order one online and drop ship it directly to the client, so you're not paying for any additional shipping. And then they get the webcam. And then they'll say, "Well, what do I do with it?" Tell them "Keep it, I loved working with you. Look forward to working with you again."

If you're paying $50-$75, but you've really impressed this person with your skills and your expertise, when they have another event coming up and they need somebody to make them look good, they'll think of you.

Stepping up from webcams, you have DSLRs. There are a lot of DSLRs out there, and not a lot of them are being used right now. So there's a lot of solutions that almost every single camera manufacturer has put together. Canon has this EOS Webcam utility that lets you connect your DSLR directly to the computer itself. And it will appear as a webcam to your software of choice. Panasonic, Fuji, and Sony have similar utilities. If your customer says, "I've got a couple of Sony cameras," you can say, "Download this software, put your camera on the tripod, and put it right the over top of your monitor." That's what I'm doing right now, with an old Panasonic GH4. I'm getting full HD off of it, into my mixer. And this is what gives me the depth of field, the evenness of tone, and the clarity over a webcam.
