Precautions After Firmware Update1) Network security level is improved by updating your smartphone app (FUJIFILM XApp and FUJIFILM Camera Remote) and compatible cameras and instax™ printers (mini Link3, SQUARE Link, Link WIDE) to the latest version, since the latest versions change the network setting menus and connecting procedures to enhance the wireless communication security. Be aware that the security level remains unchanged in the following case.
* In case that the camera’s firmware is the current version, and the smartphone application (FUJIFILM XApp or FUJIFILM Camera Remote) is the latest version.
* In case that the instax™ printer (mini Link3/SQUARE Link/Link WIDE) is the current version.
2) After updating the camera firmware, if the smartphone application (FUJIFILM XApp or FUJIFILM Camera Remote) is not updated to the latest version, you cannot connect to the camera. Be sure to upgrade your smartphone application software to the latest version.
