Fujifilm Launches ETERNA ProRemote, Remote Control App for FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 Filmmaking Camera

Enables simple remote camera control and video monitoring using iOS and iPadOS devices. Support for three connection modes, allowing for flexible connection of up to four cameras.

VALHALLA, N.Y. – September 8, 2026 – FUJIFILM Corporation today announces the launch of ETERNA ProRemote, a remote-control app for FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 (“GFX ETERNA 55”) digital filmmaking camera, which will be available late September 2026.

ETERNA ProRemote is a remote-control app that connects GFX ETERNA 55 to iOS and iPadOS devices, including smartphones and tablets, via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or wired LAN. There are three selectable connection modes to support the needs of a variety of production types, ranging from single remote operation to multi-camera setups with up to four connected cameras.

“Modern filmmaking productions call for various forms of flexibility, a crucial one being remote camera connection for control over key settings, particularly when a camera is configured in ways that restrict hands-on menu navigation. That’s where ETERNA ProRemote comes into play,” said John Blackwood, director, Brand & Product Marketing, Electronic Imaging & Optical Devices Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “ETERNA ProRemote’s flexible connection options fit a variety of scenarios, enabling filmmakers to choose the connection type that best meets their needs and ensures their desired settings are in place when the action gets going.”

ETERNA ProRemote allows for quick and easy connection to GFX ETERNA 55 without needing to enter detailed networking information, such as an IP address. Three different connection modes are available to support a variety of configurations – “Simple”, “Advanced-Single”, and “Advanced-Multiple”. In “Simple” and “Advanced-Single” modes, users can connect directly to a camera without needing a separate network access point.[1] “Advanced-Multiple” mode requires a separate access point and allows for simultaneous connection of up to four GFX ETERNA 55 cameras, great for camera control on multicam productions.

After establishing connection to a supported device, the app can be used to change camera settings and adjust the focus, iris, and zoom parameters all while viewing the live camera feed. The app can also serve as an additional monitoring output, giving users a flexible monitoring option, depending on the production environment.

The newly released ETERNA ProRemote will be showcased at IBC 2026, one of the world’s largest media, entertainment, and technology trade events, from September 11–14, 2026, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Product Features

Three Connection Modes for Flexible Operation

Users can choose from three connection modes — “Simple”, “Advanced-Single”, and “Advanced-Multiple” — depending on which mode best fits a production.

  • “Simple Mode” connects to GFX ETERNA 55 via Bluetooth and enables basic operation, including starting and stopping recording, controlling the power zoom, and saving/installing camera setting profiles. Up to four cameras can be connected and operated remotely without the need for a separate access point.
  • “Advanced-Single Mode” supports connection via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and allows users to control camera settings and lenses, all while monitoring the live camera feed. Because the camera communicates directly with the iOS or iPadOS device, this mode does not require a separate access point.
  • “Advanced-Multiple” supports multi-camera operation, allowing connection of up to four cameras through the network of an external access point.

Flexible Monitoring to Enhance On-Set Versatility

  • “Advanced-Single” and “Advanced-Multiple” modes support live video monitoring from camera, enabling a flexible solution for a monitor in situations such as viewing images from a position away from the camera during crane shots or using the device as a monitor for camera crews and other production staff. When multiple cameras are connected in “Advanced-Multiple” mode, users can monitor the live feed from all connected cameras, providing an effective multicam monitoring solution.

Display Functions to Support Accurate Image Evaluation

  • In “Advanced-Single” and “Advanced-Multiple” modes, users can display a variety of exposure and color tools to effectively evaluate the image – this includes waveform, vectorscope, and histogram, among other tools. Users can choose between an “overlay display”, which superimposes information over the image, or a “side-by-side display”, which places information outside of the image.

Advanced Remote Camera Control

  • In “Advanced-Single” and “Advanced-Multiple” modes, users can manually focus, use Touch AF, and control power zoom while monitoring the live camera feed. Focus and zoom can be adjusted from an iOS/iPadOS device, enabling camera and lens operation according to the intended shot even in situations where direct access to the camera is difficult, such as during crane shots.
  • Recorded files, including video clips and frame grab images, can be transferred to a connected device, allowing for quick and direct access to recorded files.

Information Display and Camera Settings Management to Improve Operational Efficiency

  • In “Advanced-Single” and “Advanced-Multiple” modes, users can view key camera information — including frame rate, shutter angle, ISO sensitivity, ND filter value, iris, color settings — which is displayed along with the live video feed.
  • ETERNA ProRemote supports the saving and loading of custom camera settings, allowing users to save camera settings and to load them into cameras when needed. When multiple cameras are connected in “Simple” or “Advanced-Multiple” mode, settings from one camera can be copied to other cameras.

VALHALLA, N.Y. – September 8, 2026 – FUJIFILM Corporation today announces the development of VF-GFXC2, an electronic viewfinder (EVF) purpose-built for FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 (“GFX ETERNA 55”) digital filmmaking camera. VF-GFXC2 is expected to be released by the end of 2026.

VF-GFXC2 is a dedicated electronic viewfinder for GFX ETERNA 55. Featuring a high resolution of 2048×1536 and a peak brightness of 1000 nits, it provides a clear image for effective use in high-contrast environments. Its native 4:3 aspect ratio provides an effective display of the full 4:3 open-gate GFX image format.

VF-GFXC2 features a 4:3 aspect ratio OLED display panel that allows the open-gate sensor mode to be viewed across the entire display in high resolution with high brightness and high magnification. A large eyecup helps block ambient light, improving the ability for camera operators to effectively confirm focus and fine subject details with precision. In addition, the eyecup is designed to provide optimum fit around the eye for comfortable viewing during extended filming sessions.

“We are delighted to announce a dedicated EVF for GFX ETERNA 55 that we believe will meet the demands of modern filmmakers everywhere,” said John Blackwood, director, Brand & Product Marketing, Electronic Imaging & Optical Devices Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “Viewfinders have long provided a mode of isolation for camera operators to place their focus on image composition – to effectively see a scene and craft the story. The OLED panel used in this EVF provides exceptional contrast with high brightness and resolution, allowing any user to see picture in fantastic detail.”

VF-GFXC2 body features a simple cylindrical design with a machined aluminum exterior for durability through a variety of production environments. The design prioritizes operability, with function buttons positioned within natural reach of fingers for easy access. The diopter adjustment dial has a carefully calibrated resistance to help ensure accurate operation, reflecting a commitment to ease of use in every detail.

VF-GFXC2 offers excellent visibility, precise focus confirmation, and optimal operability, maximizing the potential of 4:3 open gate production with GFX ETERNA 55.

Fujifilm will exhibit the newly announced VF-GFXC2 at IBC 2026, one of the world’s largest media, entertainment, and technology trade events, from September 11–14, 2026, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

OL: Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD Review – A Lens With Compromises


Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Optical Limits published its full review of the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD a while ago, but it hasn’t been covered here yet, so you can read an excerpt below or the full review here.

“the image quality is actually decent in the broader center. The border/corner quality is good in the middle zoom range if you stop down a bit, less so towards the long end, though.”

Pros

  1. The zoom range … of course
  2. Compact and lightweight for what it is
  3. Fast AF

Cons

  1. Optically a bit … meh
