***Correction: Note the new times. The show will now be at 9:00 AM Pacific, 12:00 noon Eastern.***
Wow, it’s been 11 months since the last episode of SOOC Live! Time sure does fly. It’s not for lack of trying that so much time has passed; our schedules just didn’t work out for most of 2025. But, as a holiday gift to you, Nathalie Boucry and I will be hosting a live broadcast on Monday, November 24th, at 9:00 AM Pacific Time, 12:00 noon PM Eastern. I really hope you can join us!
In this episode, we’ll be discussing one of Fujifilm’s most controversial features: the Film Dial. We’ll talk about the good and the bad, and—much more importantly—how to get the most out of it. If you own a Fujifilm X-T50, X-M5, X-E5, or X-T30 III, this is a must-watch episode; if you don’t own one of those models, but are curious about the Film Dial, be sure to tune in. I look forward to chatting with you live on November 24th!
In other news, I just released an update to the Fuji X Weekly App on Android, which fixes the bug that the app will crash when tilted vertical (landscape) on some operating system versions. It was a weird bug that I believe may have been introduced on version 14. Basically, some coding that worked flawlessly on earlier versions no longer worked on newer operating systems. Usually when a new OS update is released, it screws something up unexpectedly. Sometimes it’s a little thing that’s not a big deal; other times it’s a major problem. It took some serious troubleshooting to find and fix this particular issue. This was only for Android, and did not affect iPhones. A special “thank you” to those who reported the problem and helped troubleshoot it!
I’m also working on a fairly significant app update that hopefully will be ready next month sometime. I can’t give away the details yet, but I think many of you will really appreciate aspects of it. I’m constantly working on updates to the Fuji X Weekly, Ricoh Recipes, and RitchieCam apps (even though it may not always seem like it)—between the apps and this website, I stay really busy. I have a lot of various things in the air, which I can’t wait to share when the time is right—hopefully some will be sooner than later. Some things may not ever work out, that’s the way it goes sometimes and that’s ok. Anyway, if you have time on Monday, be sure to join Nathalie and I on YouTube, I’m really looking forward to chatting with you!
And what would be the link to the live broadcast on YouTube?

I‘m so looking forward to our chat. I can’t believe it’s been so long!
I’m very much looking forward to it, too!
Great news! I’m glad that sooc live is back, and also for the bugfix 😁
Yea for both!
I hope that Nathalie will share a new recipe? 🙂
Maybe, I don’t know. I’m pretty sure that she has been working on one.
Will be exciting and will definitely see the show!
Awesome! 😀
The YouTube page says the event will be at 10:00 AM (not PM) Phoenix time, which is Noon Eastern (not 1:00 PM).
Sorry. It was supposed to say AM (and not PM… what a mistake!!), but we had to change the time last night. It will now be at 9:00 AM Pacific, 10:00 AM Mountain, 11:00 AM Central, and Noon Eastern. I apologize for the mixup and last-minute change.
