FUJIFILM has announced firmware updates for its X-H2S, X-H2, X-T5, X-T4, and XT-3 mirrorless hybrids.
These are not massive updates, but the X-HS2 and X-H2 gain the ability to enable timecode synchronization with multiple cameras (up to 6 cameras) by acquiring timecode from an Atomos UltraSync BLUE.
X-H2S Ver.5.10
Firmware update Ver.5.10 incorporates the following features and bug fixes:
TIME CODE SYNC. SETTING Option
This allows connection to the ATOMOS AirGlu accessory, “UltraSync BLUE” via Bluetooth. In addition, timecode synchronization with multiple cameras (up to 6 cameras) is possible by acquiring timecode from “UltraSync BLUE”.
File Transmitter FT-XH
The connection procedure and display function at remote recording are improved when using File Transmitter FT-XH as follows:
- Connection setting gets easier to use the Remote Rec Function by reading the QR code displayed on the camera with the tablet’s camera app to obtain the MAC address and IP address of the camera automatically.
- A “MULTI” button is added to the “Remote Rec Function” menu. Pressing this button splits the screen display into four sections, allowing you to watch Live Views of multiple cameras simultaneously and pressing the “SINGLE” button bring back to the single screen display.
- A “Clean display mode” is added to the “Remote Rec Function” menu. When “Clean display mode” is selected, only the Live View is displayed.
Note: The firmware of the File Transmitter FT-XH must be upgraded to the latest version to enable those functions above. Be sure to update the camera’s firmware to the latest version before updating the firmware for the File Transmitter FT-XH.
The smartphone icon and Bluetooth icon are now displayed on the camera’s display screen when the camera and smartphone are connected via Bluetooth.
Aperture control parameters have been optimized to improve exposure tracking function during zoom operation when using the following interchangeable lens.
