FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO (Mac) on MBP M1

[Bobby Neville]

Hi All,

Does anyone know whether Lightroom Tethering plugin is working on new M1 chip?

I used to be able to tether and have live view in Capture One pro on my old MBP (2015), but since upgrading to M1 and Capture One 21, X-pro2 no longer has live view. The X-pro2 connects and transfers images just fine with new set up, but no live view.

When I click 'live view' I get that error "live view is not supported for the connected device using ptp" I know its an 'old' issue, but I have a good cable so it must be the fact that M1 its a silicone chip and CO 21, Lightroom etc are still on Rosetta...

Reviews of FUJIFILM Tether plugin Pro for Lightroom are terrible and mixed, but I rather base my purchase on real views here.... Its expensive, but I need live view and since I use Lightroom predominately I don't mind forking out providing I don't waste money.

Many Thanks in advance,

Bobby

I don't know about these applications specifically, but you can't mix Intel code and ARM code in the same macOS/Apple Silicon process.

If you have a Universal 2 application binary (containing Intel and ARM code), and Intel-only plug-ins, you can use the Get Info dialog for the application to tell a M1-based Mac to run the application's Intel code under Rosetta 2 translation.

A better long-term fix is for the plug-in vendor to release Apple Silicon versions of their plug-ins.

OK Thanks for your suggestion Tom, I'll try that later..

Update in case someone else is looking to purchase:

Ended up getting it last night and can confirm that Lightroom Tethering plugin Pro is functioning seamlessly on latest Lightroom running on MBP M1 silicon chip.

Live view and all camera controls on X-pro2 are available and working perfect.

MBP M1 seems to have auto picked the fact that Adobe plugin is Intel based and run it as such.
