RESOLVED - FRAME-ACCURATE TIME CODE ACROSS MULTIPLE FUJIFILM XH2S/XH2. With the recently released 5.10 firmware, it is now possible to jam-synch these cameras to the Atomos Ultrasynch Blue Time Code generator. Bluetooth pairing between XH2S/2 with the Atomos is tricky - turn on the camera, go to TC Settings>Time Code Synch Setting> Pairing Registration, and start the search. Turn on the UltraSynch Blue, go to Bluetooth settings, and start the search. The camera will appear on the Atomos display after a few seconds, select it. On the camera, a message will appear indicating a connection to the Atomos. Now the Atomos is registered with the camera and will appear in the registered devices section of the Bluetooth menu. Going forward turn on the Atomos, on the camera go to>TC settings>Time Code Synch Settings>turn on the "Connect to Atomos AirGlu BT" for each session. To get time of day TC into the Atomos install the Ultra Synch Blue app' on your phone and jam the phone time to the Atomos. According to Fuji and Atomos documentation, it is possible to synch six cameras to the Ultra Synch Blue. I am shooting a documentary with multiple XH2S' and having frame-accurate matching time code is a huge benefit in editing. Thank you Fujifilm!!!!!!! I got mine at https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1569940-REG/atomos_atomxsybl1_us_ultrasync_blue_with_usb_c.html

My experience with Delkin cards has been really good for video and stills. I have 4 Delkin 150GB, a 75GB and two 325GB cards all work flawlessly with my XH2 and XH2S, mostly shooting 4k ProRes HQ. I also have the Delkin CFexpress reader, it too works without incident. I have ordered two of the Angel Pro B&H Anniversary 512GB cards which were on sale at a ridiculous price. Hoping they will be my go-to cards for long interviews. For stills work, I use the Delkin cards as my primary cards with SD cards loaded as back-up, just for read/write times potential advantage. Delkin has a seemingly very solid support program they advertise with each card. Fortunately, I haven't had to utilize it, but I have registered every card with them. The Delikin SD cards are a better build than Sandisk. A more solid plastic enclosure with NO lock switch. Hoping I do not have to buy the Angel Bird card reader for firmware updates. My Delkin cards, with my cameras, have performed without issue.

I use both types of cards on my XH2 and XH2S. Some video settings require the CFexpress, which I try to use for all shooting because of the read/write speeds. I shoot landscape, sports, portraits and 4K video. If you stomp on the shutter in continuous shooting mode, speed in the camera and at home when importing is a real thing. I recently switched from Sandisk to Delkin Black, very solid construction and very fast to offload. B&H website states this for the Delkin Devices 150GB BLACK CFexpress Type B Memory Card. Max Read Speed: 1725 MB/s Min Write Speed: 1530 MB/s Worth every penny, I would suggest. Delkin also sells a really robost card reader as well for SD & CFexpress.

Does anyone know how to synch time code between Fuji-X cameras?? One would think the obvious answer would be to connect the cameras to the X app and the time on the camera would lock to the time on the phone. I seem to recall the XT4 had this function. It does not work this way on my XH2 and XH2S. I have only been able to get them close by setting the time manually for each camera. This really needs to be addressed by Fuji especially with these two flagship hybrid (stills and video) cameras.
