Fujifilm has released new firmware updates for the X-H1 and X-E3, fixing a Bluetooth connection issue with Android 16.
The company released firmware Ver.2.15 for the Fujifilm X-H1 and firmware Ver.1.32 for the Fujifilm X-E3, both updated on June 23, 2026. In both cases, the change fixes a bug that could cause Bluetooth pairing registration to fail when connecting the camera to an Android 16 smartphone running FUJIFILM Camera Remote.
The update matters mainly for photographers who still use these older X Series cameras together with a smartphone, as operating system changes can affect basic functions such as wireless connection, image transfer and remote camera control.
What changes on the Fujifilm X-H1
For the Fujifilm X-H1, the new version is Ver.2.15 and follows Ver.2.14. The update does not add new features to the camera, but fixes the Bluetooth pairing failure with Android 16 and FUJIFILM Camera Remote.
Fujifilm also notes that, for the X-H1, the firmware of a camera paired with a smartphone can be updated via smartphone or tablet, while changed settings can be saved through FUJIFILM TETHER APP.

What changes on the Fujifilm X-E3
For the Fujifilm X-E3, the new version is Ver.1.32 and follows Ver.1.31. As with the X-H1, the update focuses on fixing Bluetooth pairing with Android 16 and FUJIFILM Camera Remote.
The previous Ver.1.31 had fixed a different issue where the camera could freeze when connected to FUJIFILM Camera Remote on smartphones and tablets.

Who should install the update
The update mainly concerns users who use, or plan to use, an Android 16 smartphone together with FUJIFILM Camera Remote.
If the camera is used only on its own, without a smartphone connection, the change does not directly affect shooting. Still, Fujifilm recommends using the latest firmware version for both camera and lenses to maintain the best possible compatibility.
What we think
This is a small but meaningful move. It is positive to see Fujifilm continue to maintain models such as the X-H1 and X-E3, especially when new Android versions can create issues in everyday functions many photographers take for granted.
