Introducing the FUJIFILM GFX100: Capturing and recording precious moments in ultimate quality

Introducing the FUJIFILM GFX100: Capturing and recording precious moments in ultimate quality Equipped with a 100MP+ 55mm diagonal length*1 large format sensor - the highest class resolution in the history of mirrorless digital cameras. Fast and accurate AF and for the first time*2 phase detection, 4K video and in-body image stabilization

23.05.2019

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is pleased to announce the release of the GFX100 mirrorless digital camera featuring a newly developed 102 megapixels approx. 55mm diagonal length large format sensor. The new camera will be the flagship model of the GFX system of mirrorless digital cameras, which have received strong praise from professional photographers and photo enthusiasts for their use of a 43.8mm x 32.9mm large format sensor, which is approximately 1.7 times larger than a 35mm full frame' sensor.

The GFX100 features a back illuminated sensor with phase detection pixels, the first of its kind for image sensors larger than the 35mm full frame format. Autofocus speed is up to twice as fast as previous GFX models (when using the GF63mmF2.8 lens), whilst also offering Tracking AF on a moving subject as well as more accurate Continuous AF. Another world's first for larger than the 35mm full-frame format cameras is the in-body image stabilization (IBIS), delivering five-axis image stabilization of up to 5.5 stops*3 As a result, ultra high resolution photography can even be achieved when shooting hand held. The video capability has also been greatly improved from the current GFX 50S and GFX 50R models, to become the world's first mirrorless digital camera with an image sensor of this size or greater to offer 4K30P video recording capability (10bit 4:2:2).

With these three world's first features, the GFX100 is a camera of unparalleled innovation and versatility, fulfilling its purpose of capturing and recording precious moments that will never be repeated again at the highest image quality possible in a mirrorless camera.

Main features 1. 102MP approx. 55mm diagonal length large format image sensor

The new sensor, specifically developed for this camera, measures approx. 55mm diagonally and boasts an effective pixel count of approx. 102 million. When combined with the fourth generation X-Processor 4 processor, it delivers the world's highest level of image quality with exceptional color reproduction unique to FUJIFILM and the ultra sharp FUJINON GF lenses .

The sensor has 3.76 million phase detection pixels across the surface (approx. 100% coverage) enabling fast and accurate AF regardless of where a subject is within the frame. This sets a completely new standard in the dynamic mobility of large format mirrorless digital cameras.

The sensor's back illuminated structure receives a greater amount of light accurately whilst achieving better noise performance. The sensor has lower noise, greater dynamic range and faster readout despite the higher pixel count.

2. The world's first five-axis IBIS in a camera featuring an image sensor larger than the 35mm format

Generally speaking, the higher the pixel count an image sensor has, the higher the likelihood of camera shake. To avoid this threat to image quality, FUJIFILM has designed an IBIS system specifically for the new 102MP large format sensor which gives up to 5.5 stops of image stabilization (when using the GF63mmF2.8 R WR).

The IBIS sensor shift mechanism ensures images are stabilized not only against pitch and yaw movements (up / down and right / left tilting) but also against shift (horizontal) and roll (rotational) movements.

The entire shutter unit is suspended using four springs to minimize the effect of shutter shock. This dramatically broadens the scope of situations where you can shoot hand held with the GFX100 and still enjoy exceptionally high resolution, to push the boundaries in photography.

3. The world's first 4K30P video recording capability among consumer mirrorless digital cameras with a sensor bigger than the 35mm format

The combination of the new image sensor with high speed readout and the high performance fourth generation X-Processor 4 engine has given the camera the ability to record 4K30P video (10bit 4:2:2 externally and 10bit 4:2:0 internally), a world's first amongst large-format consumer mirrorless digital cameras carrying a sensor bigger than the 35mm format.

When the standard digital cinema format (17:9) is selected, the GFX100 records video with a sensor area measuring 43.8mm (W) x 23.19mm (H) and 49.56mm diagonally. This is larger than many high end cinema cameras in recent years, making it easier than ever before to shoot high quality video with shallow depth of field, wide tonal range and high ISO sensitivity. The GFX100 produces footage with more detailed textures whilst reproducing three dimensional definitions and the very atmosphere of the scene.

The GFX100 uses oversampling with the data equivalent to approx. 50.5 megapixels to render video. It also supports the highly efficient H.265/HEVC codec, as well as F-Log which has a gamma curve with a wide dynamic range and the Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) for recording HDR footage with ease. The GFX100 is also the first model in the GFX System to incorporate the ETERNA cinema film simulation mode, delivering optimum solutions that reflect videographer's intentions and facilitates a variety of creative expressions.

4. Dust-resistant, weather-resistant, lightweight and highly robust magnesium alloy body with integrated vertical grip

Despite featuring a sensor which is 1.7 times larger than a 35mm full frame sensor, the GFX100's body is equivalent to that of a flagship 35mm full frame DSLR camera in terms of dimensions (156.2mm (W) x 163.6mm (H) x 102.9mm (D), measuring 48.9mm at the thinnest part) and weight (approx. 1400
