Re: Fujifilm Camera Remote app. alternative

A third party app (for wireless connection) would need to know the technical details/protocol to connect and control the camera - I'm not sure if Fujifilm have made that available or kept it as proprietary/internal info only, if it were public - there'd probably be more options out there.

I haven't used Cam Ranger - but a quick look at how they set it up suggests to me it's basically using Fuji's options for wired tethered shooting, and "pretending" it's a PC - such as if you tethered the camera to Capture One for example.  The Cam Ranger is then providing the wireless connection to your device(s) instead of the camera itself.

Unfortunately unless Fuji have released the wireless protocol details (or plan to do so), or someone manages to reverse engineer them - it's probably unlikely there's an alternative to their own app.
