Appealing to photo and video needs, the GFX100S is positioned to provide creatives with the unique opportunity to embrace large format image-making. The 102MP 44 x 33mm BSI CMOS sensor offers both ultra-high resolutions coveted by stills photographers as well impressive 4K video recording options. Paired with the powerful X-Processor 4, the GFX100S can output 16-bit raw imagery with a broad dynamic range (via HDMI). Images are further characterised by low noise levels, with the BSI design of the sensor contributing to high clarity and accurate colour rendering when working in a variety of lighting conditions up to ISO 12800.
In terms of video, DCI and UHD 4K video recording is possible at 4:2:0 10-bit internally, 4:2:2 10-bit via HDMI, or raw 12-bit if recording externally, and an F-log gamma setting can also be used for more advanced colour grading during post-production. Beyond high-resolution shooting, the unique sensor design also incorporates a sophisticated hybrid AF system that features /p>
This camera is further rounded out by durable construction, in-body 5-axis image stabilization of up to 6 stops, and an apt hybrid autofocus system with 425 selectable phase-detection points covering nearly the entire frame. Precise face and eye-detection modes make this camera even more accessible and applicable for various shooting needs.
Detailed 102MP images
Powered by FUJIFILM’s high-performance quad-core X-Processor 4 CPU, GFX100S utilises its 102MP, back-illuminated large-format CMOS sensor to deliver images with stunning quality. Compared to smaller, lower-resolution sensors commonly found in traditional full-frame DSLR and mirrorless cameras, GFX100S’ imaging sensor is approximately 1.7 times larger and enhanced to be incredibly sensitive to light. This provides it with a significant advantage over smaller sensors in producing images with incredibly shallow depth of field, fantastic dynamic range, faithful colour reproduction, and outstanding high-ISO performance.
High-performance mirrorless Autofocus in a Medium Format Camera
Unlike many other large and medium format cameras, on-sensor phase detection pixels cover almost 100% of GFX100S’ imaging sensor, unlocking a level of autofocus performance never seen in large format digital photography. This means the camera can acquire focus in as little as 0.18 seconds, even in luminance levels as low as -5.5EV3, making it versatile, accurate and incredibly fast. Powered by X-Processor 4, the camera is also able to efficiently make use of an updated focus tracking algorithm to keep subjects in focus when using the Tracking AF and Face/ Eye AF functions.
Compact 5-axis In-Body Stabilisation delivering up to 6-stops of vibration reduction
GFX100S features a newly designed In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) system, dramatically broadening photographers' ability to confidently create handheld images. The IBIS mechanism inside GFX100S is 20% smaller and 10% lighter than the unit in FUJIFILM GFX100. Despite its smaller size, the five-axis system provides 6 stops of CIPA-rated image stabilisation, a 0.5-stop improvement over GFX100.
Large Format 4K/30p Video
GFX100S can record large-format cinematic 4K/30p movies that feature incredibly shallow depth-of-field, impressive high-ISO performance, wide tonal gradation, and unmatched overall image quality. Footage can be recorded at bit rates of 400Mbps at different quality levels, from 10-bit 4:2:0 F-log internally to an SD card to 12-bit 4:2:2 ProRes RAW through the HDMI port. In addition to recording 4 K footage in a 16:9 aspect ratio, GFX100S supports a 17:9 aspect ratio, which is frequently used in digital cinemas. The most commonly used compression codecs, like H.264 and H.265, are also available. Additionally, professional standards like the REC. 2100-supported Hybrid Gamma Log (HLG) or F-Log can be selected for complete creative control with more flexibility in post-production.
4K/30p 12-bit RAW Output via HDMI
For colour-grading heavy workflows, GFX100S can also record 4K/30P footage in 12-bit RAW via HDMI directly to an Atomos Ninja V Recording Monitor to later be output as ProRes RAW. This allows users to make post-product decisions around refining images. Users can also simultaneously output RAW footage and footage in FLog or Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) with a Film Simulation mode.
Dust- and Moisture-Resistant Magnesium-Alloy Body
The GFX100S is dust—and moisture-resistant and can operate at temperatures as low as -10 °C. Its magnesium alloy casing is also 1 mm denser around the lens mount than the GFX100, which provides added support for larger G-mount lenses.
Legendary Colour Science
FUJIFILM’s expertise in colour science is legendary among image-makers. For more than 86 years, FUJIFILM has been responsible for some of the world’s most iconic photographs and movies. GFX100S gives users access to a wealth of experience via a button powered by one of the world’s most widely acclaimed digital colour processing engines.
Film Simulation
With a choice of 19 exclusive FUJIFILM Film Simulation modes, it is easy to achieve fantastic colour straight out of the camera. GFX100S includes a new Film Simulation mode to explore: Nostalgic Neg. Reminiscent of American New Colour Photography, which emerged in the 1970s, Nostalgic Neg continues this movement by expanding the boundaries of photographic creativity through the purposeful use of colour. Its unique tonality adds an amber tone to highlights for a softer look and boosts saturations to shadows while preserving details to give images a lyrical feel.
