P: Tethered shooting retain the camera's file name on Fujifilm

The latest version of Lightroom supports Fujifilm camera Tethering, but the file names of the photos taken after connection are changed to file names such as DSC_0001.raf instead of the file names originally set in the camera.

This makes shooting very annoying. Even if you use the old version of Fujifilm Tethering plugin, you will get two files with different file names when taking a photo.

If Lightroom cannot save the original file names in the camera, I would rather let us only use Fujifilm Tethering plugin, at least it can ensure that the file names of the photos taken on the computer and in the camera memory card are the same

Camera: GFX100ii
Lightroom Classic 14.4 for Mac

Actually my best solution was to turn off the fujifilm plugin and then tweak the naming to my needs (like session name - sequence).

I'm having the same issue, really need the filename to be the same as what is captured on the camera. If I manually copy some files to the same folder the files become out of order.

I have the same problem - Filename in the camera is different from the file name saved on the laptop when tethering direct into lightroom. I don't thing the 'correct answer' to this thread is correct, really not solving the problem.

Using a Fuji XH2. Lightroom version is 14.4. Naming template in the settings is just Filename.

same here, but that's not really a solution. the integrater LRC tethering it's way faster to show the picture, so as you, i usually disable the fujifilm plugin, but sometime i need the features coming ith the fujifilm tethering pro plugin, and it's quite annoying to have to close the second shooting bar to disable the fujifilm tether option. and with the integrated LRC tethering i can't keep the original filename.

Same happened to me since two weeks ago. But the odd thing is that it does not happen for ALL the images, just 70% of them... both on GFX50Sii and X-H2 with Lr Fujifilm plugin

I experience that during the tethered session that one file does keep its original file name from the camera with an extension in capital letters but most files are renamed and provided with the extension in lower case letters.

Thanks for the info.
Can you please share the value of "Naming Template" option selected in Tethered Capture Settings dialog?
If "FileName" is not selected as an option, can you please select FileName and then try.

Hi Sharma,

The template was already set to: custome name - original file number.

The right named file have an capitale extenion .RAF all the incorecced named file have al lower case extenion .raf

sorry for late reply, my" Naming Template" is same with your sample screenshot, it is "Filename"

I'm using GFX100ii, the file names problems happen with lot of software, not just Lightroom, it happen with CaptureOne,Evoto,PixelCake...

Only Fujifilm Tether App can keep the same file name with my camera, hope Adobe can fix the problem, or let us choose to only use Fujifilm plugin, so we can keep the file name with camera
