Recipe Room can send compatible Recipes to a supported Fujifilm custom-settings slot without requiring you to rebuild the Recipe by hand.
Worth knowing before you connect: this notice forms part of Recipe Room’s Terms & Conditions. Recipe Room is independent software and isn’t licensed, authorised, endorsed or supported by Fujifilm. Fujifilm publishes a manufacturer-warranty exception covering cameras used or controlled through third-party imaging systems, so connecting your camera to software like ours may affect or void your Fujifilm warranty. How that plays out can depend on the warranty terms, your country, the claim and the cause of the damage, and your statutory consumer rights still apply either way. We can’t promise how Fujifilm or a retailer would handle a warranty or repair claim. If you would rather not take that risk, skip the camera connection and follow Add a Recipe Manually instead. It just takes a few more taps.

​
Current Camera Support

Send to camera currently supports X-Trans V and later X-Trans IV models. We will investigate support for other models and add them when testing is complete.
Support for creating a Recipe doesn’t automatically mean that Send to camera is supported. Recipe Room checks the connected device, camera model, and firmware before beginning a transfer.

​
How We Will Expand Support

Older camera models can differ in how they connect and how their Custom Settings are read and written. We will investigate these differences model by model and only add support when the complete connection, reading, writing, and verification process is stable and repeatable. This deliberate pace is important. Cameras are valuable tools that photographers rely on, and we will not release support that we are not confident is ready.

​
Where Send to Camera Fits

Send to camera is highly requested, but we know it will not be used by everyone. Fujifilm’s current warranty position on third-party camera-control software means some photographers will understandably decide not to use it. We are conscious of that when deciding how quickly to expand the feature. Recipe Room is built to give Fujifilm photographers a home to share their work, discover content, and connect with one another. That social experience is our priority. Send to camera is a useful extra, but we are not trying to turn Recipe Room into a dedicated camera-export app or compete feature-for-feature with one. We will continue investigating support for older cameras and other export capabilities, but they are not our current priority. Any additional support will be released only when we are confident that it is stable.

​
Hide Send to Camera

If you don’t want to use Send to camera, open Settings and turn off Show Send to camera. This hides its actions from Recipes and Recipe Analyser, reducing clutter from a feature you don’t use. You can turn it back on at any time.

​
Set the Camera Connection Mode

Before connecting the cable, select USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE in the camera’s connection settings, then turn the camera off. Follow Camera Connection Settings for the menu paths used by different Fujifilm models and links to the official Fujifilm manuals.

​
Connect Your Device

Use a data-capable cable. A charge-only cable won’t let Recipe Room identify the camera or send settings. A cable’s charging wattage alone doesn’t confirm that it supports data transfer.

​
Android, iPhone, or iPad with USB-C

Connect the camera directly to the phone or tablet with a data-capable USB-C to USB-C cable. For a USB-C iPhone (iPhone 15 or later), start with the USB-C cable supplied with your iPhone, or another USB-C to USB-C cable confirmed to support data transfer. Apple confirms that the supplied iPhone cable supports data transfer. Connection: Camera (USB-C) → USB-C to USB-C data cable → phone or tablet (USB-C)

​
iPhone or iPad with Lightning

You need:
  • A Lightning-to-USB-A camera adapter.
  • A data-capable USB-A to USB-C cable between the adapter and camera.
  • A Lightning charging cable connected to the adapter’s secondary power port.
Connection: Camera (USB-C) → USB-A to USB-C data cable → Lightning-to-USB-A camera adapter → iPhone or iPad (Lightning) The charging cable on the adapter is required. Without external power, Recipe Room won’t detect the camera.

​
Identify the Camera and Send the Recipe

  1. With the camera still off, complete the cable setup above, including power for a Lightning adapter.
  2. Open the Recipe and choose Send to camera.
  3. Start Identify camera, then turn the camera on while Recipe Room is searching.
  4. Wait for Recipe Room to identify the camera model and firmware.
  5. Choose the destination custom slot, such as C1–C7.
  6. Review the slot that will be replaced and any ISO guidance, then choose Send to C….
  7. Keep the camera connected until Recipe Room confirms that the settings were sent and verified.
After a successful send, Recipe Room keeps the exported Recipe privately in Saved > Exported Recipes. A working camera connection can stay available as you move between Recipes, so you don’t need to start the setup again for every send.

​
Dynamic Range and ISO

For a Recipe using DR200 or DR400, the confirmation screen shows the ISO range your camera needs. Set a fixed ISO in that range on the camera before sending. Auto ISO can also cause the camera to refuse the requested Dynamic Range. Recipe Room cannot read or change the camera’s ISO over this connection, so it cannot check that setting for you. If the camera refuses the requested Dynamic Range, the result screen offers two choices:
  • Change ISO on the camera, then choose I set the ISO, try again.
  • Choose Send with DR100 instead and review the change before confirming the export.
Choosing DR100 changes that export only; the original Recipe stays unchanged. Check the Dynamic Range confirmed in the result, especially if the camera reports a different value from the one requested.

​
Check or Restore the Previous Slot Settings

Unplug the camera when you want to inspect its settings: its menus are hidden while it is connected in this USB mode. The result screen shows the current connection status while previous slot settings are available to restore. Recipe Room holds those previous settings only while the result screen stays open. Unplugging the camera does not discard them, but closing the screen releases the temporary backup. To put the slot back, choose Restore previous settings. If the camera is disconnected, reconnect the same camera and switch it off and on as directed, then choose Reconnect and restore. Recipe Room identifies the camera again before restoring.

​
Return to an Exported Recipe

Open Saved, then Exported Recipes, to find the Recipes you previously sent to a camera. Open an exported Recipe to review the Recipe and its export details again.

​
If the Camera Is Not Detected

If the connection is lost or the camera stops responding, use Check again to retry after following the on-screen instructions. This clears a failed connection before looking for the camera again.
  • Confirm that the cable carries data, not only power.
  • If you use Lightning, confirm that the adapter’s secondary power port has a charging cable connected.
  • Turn the camera off, reconnect everything, start Identify camera, then turn the camera on.
  • Confirm that the camera is in still-photography mode and USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE is still selected.
  • Check Camera Model Support before treating a failed connection as an unsupported camera.
