X100v live view shooting?

Does the X100V support Fuji live view shooting ?

https://app.fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/camera_remote/usage/live_view/#ios_not_bt

was curious if it is possible to control this camera remotely with a phone for self portraits.

A qualified yes. I personally have mixed results with the video responsiveness of the app. At times the display stutters and freezes. Last time I tested it, earlier this week in response to a friend's report that it was working, I found it to be "mostly" usable with a few brief pauses. This was after a connection where it didn't work at all and another that crashed the camera into a state which required removing the battery to restore function. It's the inconsistency that drives me nuts.

FWIW, I have no problem with the Bluetooth function of the app (shutter release only) so if you can get by without the screen you should be good to go.

I haven't tested this time around using the Cascable app yet. Maybe next week. Mostly I use the Bluetooth anyway.

X100V with latest firmware. iPhone 13 Pro running latest public beta.
