The firmware update Ver.7.30 from Ver.7.20 incorporates the following issues:

< Important notice after firmware update >
* After the firmware update, you cannot connect the camera to the iOS version of FUJIFILM Camera Remote. Be sure to upgrade your smartphone or tablet to iOS13 or later and use FUJIFILM XApp instead of Camera Remote.
* After the firmware update, you cannot use the FUJIFILM Camera Remote (Android version) to connect with the camera through Bluetooth: Ver.4.1 and earlier. To pair via Bluetooth, smartphone/tablet must be Bluetooth Ver. 4.2 and latter.

The following changes are additions and modifications included in the new firmware. For details, please refer to the “X-H2S New Features Guide” and “X-H2S Network and USB Settings” (see links below).

  1. The wireless communication security is enhanced while camera is connecting with a smartphone application or external device wirelessly.
    After updating the firmware, security will be enhanced, so the connection procedure with the smartphone application will be changed, or the “WIRELESS COMMUNICATION” setting menu on the camera will be deleted (see section, <Changes after firmware update> below for details).

High-resolution 3D models help improve the efficiency of drone aerial photography inspections

FUJIFILM Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshikazu Goto) is pleased to announce that the FUJIFILM GFX100S II (hereinafter “GFX100S II”), a mirrorless digital camera featuring a 102-megapixel large-format sensor *1 , is now supported by Pix4D Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Andrey Khreimenov), a provider of 3D model generation software, with its PIX4Dmatic *2 software . This enables users to easily generate high-resolution 3D models from aerial images taken using the GFX100S II in combination with a drone, supporting efficient inspection work at plants and infrastructure facilities.

In recent years, with the aging of plant facilities and social infrastructure, the importance of maintenance inspections has increased. Furthermore, the demand for drone inspections has increased significantly due to factors such as labor shortages and rising labor costs caused by the declining birthrate. Since 2024, we have been collaborating with domestic drone manufacturers to conduct research into high-precision drone aerial photography inspections using the GFX100S II. Taking advantage of the GFX100S II’s 102-megapixel resolution, drone aerial photography captures images with the same level of accuracy as close-up visual inspection *3 , even in high-altitude and inaccessible areas . This has been well-received by users, including inspection companies and plant management companies.

PIX4Dmatic, compatible with the GFX100S II, is software that generates highly accurate 3D models using advanced, next-generation photogrammetry (Structure from Motion) *4 analysis technology. Processing data with PIX4Dmatic makes it easy to obtain 3D models that combine both bird’s-eye views and ultra-high-resolution, detailed images. This makes it easy to create 3D models of complex facilities, such as plants with countless pipes and buildings, streamlining inspection work. Furthermore, the system supports the development of solutions, such as those combining it with AI detection software, to further enhance inspection efficiency.


Our facility was photographed using the GFX100S II mounted on a drone.

426 high-resolution images taken from 45m above the ground were used to generate a 3D model, allowing for a high-definition view of the entire facility. By simply zooming in on the composite image, it is possible to check the details and measure the size. This allows for a bird’s-eye view of the entire facility, which is better than looking at a single photo and is also useful for investigating the causes of deterioration.

We will be participating in JAPAN BUILD TOKYO, Japan’s largest construction industry exhibition, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 10th to 12th. Our booth will feature high-resolution 3D models created by combining PIX4Dmatic and the GFX100S II, as well as two industrial drones, the Build Flyer Chrome and the Series Hybrid Drone, offered by Ishikawa Energy Research Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ota City, Gunma Prefecture; Representative Director: Mitsuru Ishikawa), which are compatible with the GFX100S II. We will continue to combine our extensive camera product line with imaging technology and software to develop solutions that support the challenges of the construction, plant, and infrastructure inspection markets.

*1 An image sensor with a diagonal length of 55mm (43.8mm wide x 32.9mm high), approximately 1.7 times the area of ​​a 35mm format sensor.
*2 Pix4D software name. Supports 12 languages, including Japanese.
*3 Based on our calculation standards.
*4 Technology that reconstructs 3D shapes from image data taken from different perspectives using drones, etc.

About the FUJIFILM GFX100S II mirrorless digital camera
The FUJIFILM GFX100S II, equipped with a 102-megapixel large-format sensor, is capable of capturing ultra-high-resolution images when paired with a dedicated interchangeable lens. It captures an area approximately four times larger than cameras equipped with a 26-megapixel APS-C sensor, shortening shooting time when mounted on a drone. Furthermore, its extremely lightweight weight of approximately 883g (body only) allows it to be mounted on a drone using a consumer camera system, offering excellent cost performance. Fujitsu provides a Linux *5 SDK *6 for remotely controlling the GFX100S II, enabling it to be used not only with drones but also for filming with vehicles and robots.

*5 An OS widely used in the industrial field.
*6 Official name: “FUJIFILM X Series and GFX System Digital Camera Control Software Development Kit.” This is a library that allows you to develop application software for remotely controlling Fujifilm’s digital cameras. It enables remote control of Fujifilm’s X/GFX series digital cameras, including the GFX100 series.
