I have updated my RONIN-S to the current 1.9.8.80 version which should be able to control the Fujifilm X-T3 camera - at least AF and recording start/stop should be possible according to the firmware release notes.
When I connect the XT-3 via the ronin-to-USC-C cable the camera goes into card-reader-mode as sonn is I connect it to the Ronin, but I can see the camera in the camera settings in the Ronin-app.

Whe I change the camera's settings to not go into card-reader-mode the Ronin does not seem to see the camera.

Can someone explain to me how the XT-3 is properly connected to the Ronin or point me in the direction of a tutorial?

Cheers

Florian

HI Florian:

The release notes do not state that record on/off works on the X-T3 with the new firmware release.  What is says is the following:

"Added photo capture and autofocus for Fujifilm XT3 camera using a Multi-Camera Control Cable (Type-C). To use autofocus on the Fujifilm XT3, press halfway down on the camera control button of the gimbal."

The new firmware release is for photo capture not record on/off on the X-T3.

Hi Florian, did you set the PC connection mode to 'USB Auto Mode' in your camera settings?

Photo capture is the same as “Start Recording”, you only have to be in video mode. Nevertheless I can’t even snap a photo or activate AF.

I have tried all USB connection settings the camera offers: “USB card reader”, “USB tether shooting Auto”, “USB tether shooting fixed” and “USB Raw comb.”

When it’s in USB card reader mode, the XT-3 at least shows up in the Robin-App, but it can’t shoot anything in that mode.

Hi Ma5chinsky and Florian:

Were the two of you able to get the Roinin-S to start/stop record video on the X-T3?

No I did not. Seemingly they really only implemented shutter release and AF for the photo mode of the camera, which is totally useless.
