On the heels of Canon releasing its official live streaming software for Windows, Fujifilm has updated X Webcam Utility to version 2.0. Available for PC or Mac, the application turns any compatible Fujifilm camera into a high resolution webcam. 

The new version adds a convenient settings control window allowing users to make adjustments to setting like film simulations, exposure, white balance, color temperature, and zoom, among others, without the need to touch the camera. The settings can easily adjusted via the window while the camera is still connected to the computer.
