Fujifilm lists version 7.30 for the X-H2S, 5.30 for the X-H2 and 4.31 for the X-T5. All three updates were released in 2025 and remain on the official support pages; they are not new November 2026 releases.
Fujifilm X-H2S: Firmware 7.30
Version 7.30 for the X-H2S, dated December 2, 2025, enhances security when the camera communicates wirelessly with smartphones and other devices.
It changes the smartphone pairing process and removes the older “WIRELESS COMMUNICATION” item from specific shooting, playback and function-button settings.
On iOS, the older FUJIFILM Camera Remote application can no longer connect, and Fujifilm directs users to XApp on iOS 13 or later. On Android, Bluetooth pairing requires Bluetooth 4.2 or later.
Direct camera printing options for instax SHARE SP-1, SP-2 and SP-3 are also removed. Users can transfer images to a smartphone and print through the appropriate printer application instead.

Fujifilm X-H2: Firmware 5.30
X-H2 version 5.30, also dated December 2, 2025, strengthens wireless-connection security and changes the way the camera connects with smartphones.
The older “WIRELESS COMMUNICATION” options are removed from relevant menus, and smartphone pairing changes. The same limitations apply to the old Camera Remote app on iOS and older Android Bluetooth versions.
These changes mainly affect connectivity and associated settings. Fujifilm does not announce a new autofocus system or video-recording capability as part of this release.

Fujifilm X-T5: Firmware 4.31
For the X-T5, the latest listed version is 4.31, released on July 26, 2025. Fujifilm describes minor bug fixes without identifying individual issues or announcing new features.
The more significant wireless-security changes arrived with version 4.30. Version 4.31 was included in the July 2025 X-T5, X-T50 and X100VI firmware updates.

What to check before installing
Fujifilm recommends checking the firmware already installed on the camera. There is no need to reinstall the update if the latest version is already present.
Saving custom settings before updating is also sensible. Fujifilm refers X-H2S and X-H2 owners to FUJIFILM TETHER APP, while X-T5 owners can use FUJIFILM X Acquire and equivalent options.
If you rely on a smartphone connection, check app compatibility, operating-system requirements and Bluetooth support before updating.
What we think
When a camera firmware update appears, most of us look first for autofocus improvements or new video features. The X-H2S and X-H2 changes are primarily about connectivity instead.
That matters. If you regularly transfer images to your phone or use it to control the camera, a change in pairing can directly affect your workflow. Owners of older phones should check compatibility before installing.
For the X-T5, version 4.31 is a modest bug-fix release without any announced new features. There is no reason to suggest otherwise.
A security update can be valuable in everyday camera use even when it brings no new photographic or filmmaking tools.
