The GFX100 II features the newly-developed 102MP high-speed image sensor ”GFX 102MP CMOS II HS” and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5” to deliver up to double the signal readout speed compared to the current model. It is a new flagship model of the GFX Series that provides significant performance improvement in continuous shooting, AF and video recording.
The GFX100 II boasts superior image quality thanks to the use of the large format sensor that produces rich tonal reproducibility and strong three-dimensional definitions. In addition, the latest high-speed image sensor coupled with the high-speed image processing engine has made it possible to bring the AI-based subject-detection AF developed with Deep Learning technology as well as the latest prediction AF algorithm developed with the X-H2S to the GFX Series for the first time. The burst shooting performance has also improved from the current 5.0 frames per second to 8.0 frames per second*3 to broaden the scope of genres from fashion, commercial and landscape categories to sports and news photography, where high-speed performance is essential.
The use of the new sensor has also led to significant enhancement of video recording performance. The camera can record 4K/60P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally and supports 8K/30P video for the first time in the GFX Series. It also offers the new “Video Format” modes to take advantage of the large format sensor’s characteristics. The camera supports various cine recording formats, including Premista, 35mm, and anamorphic (35mm) with the mount adapter. This accommodates video recording in a versatile range of situations, complemented also by the enhanced sensor readout speed and the tracking AF.
Performance enhancement is also brought to system expandability. The GFX100 II body features an Ethernet port as well as HDMI Type A and USB-C terminals for added connectivity of external devices. Support for the cloud service “Frame.io Camera to Cloud” and timecode synch with ATMOS AirGlu™ BT streamlines users’ workflow.
Image quality has also been enhanced with the introduction of non-extended ISO80 sensitivity and the Film Simulation mode “REALA ACE.” Hardware improvements include the up to 8-stop five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), 1.0x viewfinder magnification, and 9.44-million-dot high-magnification and high-definition EVF. The camera body’s new design features include a large sub-LCD, tilted top panel and a new texture. The GFX100 II represents evolution from the current model in all areas to cater to the needs of professional photographers and videographers.
Highest burst shooting and AF performance in the history of the GFX Series thanks to the all-new high-speed image sensor ”GFX 102MP CMOS II HS” and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5”
The GFX100 II is equipped with the newly-developed 102MP image sensor ”GFX 102MP CMOS II HS” that boasts up to double the signal readout speed compared to the current model to enable continuous shooting of up to 8.0 frames per second. Users can enjoy burst shooting at quick intervals completely stress-free thanks also to reinforced buffer memory. In the field of sports photography, previously difficult with past GFX Series models, the GFX100 II seizes decisive photo moments while preserving the high definition and high image quality synonymous to the large format sensor.
The use of an improved algorithm has evolved the Face / Eye AF and introduced the AI-based subject-detection AF, developed with Deep Learning technology. The power of AI means the camera can now detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects and drones. A detected subject is automatically tracked while kept in focus so that users can focus on shutter opportunities and framing. The evolved predictive AF algorithm provides added ease to users in genres requiring advanced tracking capability for fast-moving subject, such as sports photography.
The camera is equipped with a high-magnification and high-definition 9.44-million-dot EVF with 1.0x magnification. It suppresses parallax and distortion which typically occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder, thereby providing stellar visibility. The EVF boasts smooth refresh frame rate of approx. 120fps to accurately identify a subject’s fast movements.
The camera’s Zone AF function can now be customized. The shape of the AF area can be adjusted to suit a shooting situation for more accurate autofocusing.
Broader scope of stills expressions with the non-extended ISO80 sensitivity and the new Film Simulation mode “REALA ACE”
Improvement to the pixel structure has boosted the new sensor’s saturated electrons, thereby enabling the use of ISO80 as a standard sensitivity. When the sensor sensitivity is set at ISO80, the camera can capture images at greater dynamic range and lower noise than with the previous model*8.
The new sensor’s microlenses are improved to increase light use efficiency at the sensor’s edges, thus improving image quality at edges and AF accuracy over the previous model.
The GFX100 II comes with a total of 20 Film Simulation modes including the new “REALA ACE” to give images a diverse range of distinctive tones. “REALA ACE” offers faithful color reproduction and high-contrast tonality, making it suitable for any subjects and situations.
The camera features the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which enables 4x resolution and accurate color reproduction. The IBIS mechanism is precisely controlled to shift the image sensor by 0.5 pixel and shoot 16 RAW images in a quick succession. The dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner” is then used to combine the 16 RAW files to generate a 400MP image. This is a perfect choice for commercial photography or digital archiving of cultural assets.
The camera supports the HEIF file format, which provides 10-bit color depth while keeping the file size to 70% of JPEG data to enable image storage of greater image quality and efficiency.
Extensive video performance that caters to the needs of professional video production
The use of the new sensor has given the ability to record 4K/60P video and even 8K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally. The sensor readout speed has been increased to suppress the rolling shutter effect for natural filming of a moving subject. ISO100 is also available in the video mode for filming of even higher image quality.
The GFX100 II supports three Apple ProRes codecs, i.e. Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 422 LT. When shooting in Apple ProRes, the camera can use proxy video recording such as Apple ProRes 422 Proxy, which reduces video editing workload to streamline the overall workflow from filming to post production.
The camera supports various cine recording formats, including Premista, 35mm, and anamorphic (35mm) with the mount adapter. The video is recorded in optimized settings, accommodating a variety of video expressions.
The tracking AF function for video recording has been added. Users can touch the screen to specify a subject to be tracked while filming in the AF-C + Wide / Tracking AF mode. This allows the camera to track the right subject in situations where multiple subjects are in the frame.
This is the first GFX Series camera that features F-Log2 with dynamic range expanded up to 14+ stops. This enhancement enables video recording with enriched tonality, thereby broadening post-production potential significantly.
Combined with a compatible ATOMOS HDMI device, RAW video output from GFX100 II can be recorded as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW at resolutions up to 8K and frame rates up to 29.97fps. With Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G HDRs, RAW video output from the camera can be recorded as Blackmagic RAW at resolutions up to 8K and frame rates up to 29.97fps.
The camera supports timecode synch with ATOMOS AirGlu™ BT. This enables seamless timecode synching with multiple cameras, meeting demand from various video production sites.
The following functions are newly featured to make video shooting easy:
Displaying waveform vectorscope
Adding the new MF-assist function focus map
Adding F-log2 D Range Priority mode
Available only when using the GF/Premista mode at DCI4K/4K and 29.97P/25P/24P/23.98P; This may produce the rolling shutter effect.
Extensive system expandability
The camera body is equipped with an Ethernet port as well as HDMI Type A and USB-C terminals to broaden connectivity with external devices significantly for diverse peripheral combinations.
An external SSD can be connected via USB-C to record stills and video data directly in the external SDD in any mode or format including 4K/60P and 8K/30P.
The camera supports the cloud service “Frame.io Camera to Cloud” so that Apple ProRes Proxy files and a variety of other video files can be uploaded directly to Frame.io, thus dramatically streamlining the workflow from shooting to editing.
The camera is equipped with dual card slots supporting CFexpressTM Type B and SD cards. The use of a CFexpressTM Type B card with a fast write speed brings out the full video performance of the GFX100 II.
IPTC meta data can be added to images as they are shot. The meta data can be checked and edited in the digital camera app “FUJIFILM XApp.”
Hardware that provides powerful shooting support and design that epitomizes functional beauty
The GFX100 II has a new IBIS mechanism that enhances stabilization accuracy by using image information to detect camera shake. The result is up to eight-stop five-axis stabilization performance, the best among Fujifilm cameras. Users can shoot hand-held with ease even in low light situations such as night landscape. This IBIS mechanism is also used to shift the image sensor at high precision to produce approx. 400MP images in the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function.
The camera body has been designed with multiple improvements over previous models in pursuit for practicality. The new BISHAMON-TEXTM*16 texture is used to maximize the camera’s grip when hand-held in various angles. The top panel is slightly slanted toward a user so that camera settings can be checked with a very quick glance. The sub-LCD monitor at the top is larger than previous models with updated GUI design for enhanced visibility.
The operability of various buttons has been improved. Three Fn buttons with advanced operability are positioned at the top of the grip to ensure error-free camera operations when shooting conditions change.
