More than Full Frame
GFX100 combines decades of experience, knowledge, and research into a mirrorless large format camera that redefines the boundaries and limitations of how photographers and filmmakers creatively express themselves.
By raising the bar in large format auto-focus performance, being one of the first large format systems to have in-body stabilization, and providing filmmakers with a way to push the limits of wide format 4K/30p motion capture, GFX100 is not only reshaping how images are being made, but it is also redefining large format for the world’s next generation of image makers.
GFX100 pairs a back-illuminated 102MP imaging sensor with our blazingly fast X Processor 4 processing engine to create a combination capable of outputting 16-bit images with amazing color fidelity, rich shadow detail, and incredible dynamic range. Its back-illuminated structure enhances image quality by bringing the exposure plane closer to the color filter array. This minimizes noise levels from that typically experienced with mirrorless cameras and extends the native ISO to ISO 100. Sharpness is also enhanced, while moire and false colors are near eliminated through the omission of an optical low-pass filter. Lastly, the inclusion of a motion sensor retention mechanism suppresses even the slightest vibrations that may be caused by camera shake or the even the movement of the shutter.
55mm diagonal length large format CMOS sensor
The GFX Series’ use of 55mm diagonal length large format sensor (43.8 x 32.9mm) has paved the way for ultra high image resolution. The GFX100 delivers smooth gradation and image sharpness with the high resolution sensor. This is made possible thanks to FUJIFILM’s expertise in medium format which has been gained since the days of film cameras. Experience the astonishing photographic potential possible with the 100MP+ sensor.
Image Processing Engine
The GFX100 uses the X-Processor 4, FUJIFILM’s latest image processing engine to quickly optimize the data from the high resolution image sensor. Despite the massive amount of data involved, the processor handles it at a speed. You can also apply the Film Simulation modes to 100MP+ image data to achieve FUJIFILM’s unique styles of color and tone reproduction.
FUJIFILM G Mount
The G Mount, was designed to accommodate GF lenses with 100MP+ sensors in mind. Taking maximum advantage of the mirrorless system, the G Mount has a short flange focal distance which contributes to the camera’s compact form and mirrors GF lenses’ design and advanced performance. When combined with a large CMOS sensor, the system prevents peripheral light fall-off to achieve stunning edge to edge sharpness.
Focal Plane Shutter
The GFX focal plane shutter is specifically designed for 55mm diagonal length large format mirrorless digital cameras. With a durability performance over 150,000 shutter actuations *1, it combines an electronic front curtain shutter with an exceptionally quiet mechanical shutter which has a maximum speed of 1/4000sec. The shutter system has been redesigned for the GFX100 to support the new large format CMOS sensor with continuous shooting of up to 5.0fps. You can select from three types of shutters, including an electronic shutter, according to your shooting conditions.
Shock Absorber
The GFX100’s shutter has a shock absorption mechanism ideal for landscape photography, studio shooting and commercial photography, all of which are unforgiving to even the slightest of camera shakes. The shutter unit is suspended at the top, bottom, right and left and is able to absorb subtle shakes caused when the mechanical shutter is used. It also enables quicker shutter response, which is useful in a variety of shooting situations.
Image Stabilization
The GFX100 is a first mirrorless digital camera equipped with an in-body image stabilization (IBIS) mechanism for a large format sensor in GFX series. It provides precision control for the high definition images produced by the camera’s large format sensor, which is approx. 1.7 times the size of a 35mm format sensor. This feature revolutionizes the large format camera system, unleashing its advanced performance with greater flexibility in a wider variety of shooting conditions.
FUJIFILM’S COLOR SCIENCE
Fujifilm’s legacy in color science has helped create one of the most widely-acclaimed digital color processing engines in the world. Benefiting from over 85 years of research and development in color imaging, GFX100 utilizes the same venerated color processing engine found in other X Series and GFX System digital cameras to output images as JPEGS; or even as 16-bit TIFF or RAW files, with incredible color reproduction and detail. Also, choose from 18 different Film Simulation modes, built upon Fujifilm’s heritage and color science know-how, to achieve an artistic vision and even adjust parameters such as tone, dynamic range, clarity, and various effects directly in camera to create special recipies entirely in-camera
Image Format, Size and Aspect
The GFX100 allows users to capture images in various formats and image qualities. This includes uncompressed / lossless compressed RAW and JPEG formats of varying image sizes, aspect ratios and compression ratio
OPERATION × LARGE FORMAT
GFX100 is an elegant blend of engineering and design. Everything from the shape of its lightweight magnesium body, to the look and feel of its buttons and dials have been carefully selected to provide you with a seamless experience in using it to create images. Optimized for a variety of applications and packed with state-of-the art technology, GFX100 is designed to provide you with the best incredible image quality possible, regardless of the situation.
Tough Body
The camera body is made of magnesium alloy, making it lightweight and very robust. The inner frame directly couples the sensor and IBIS unit with lens and lens mount to provide complete rigidity from the lens to the sensor. The engagement area between the front and rear panels has been maximized to achieve ultimate durability against external force.
Body Resistance
The camera body is weather sealed at 95 points (including the electronic viewfinder) helping it withstand extreme conditions of dust, moisture and low temperatures. This means that the camera can comfortably handle a wide variety of shooting situations, be it shooting stills or video. This means the GFX100 is perfectly suited to being used in a studio but also outdoors in harsher environments.
Ergonomic Grip
The in body image stabilization (IBIS) and the shutter’s shock absorbing structure are complemented by the grip design, which is shaped to provide added stability for hand held shooting in various conditions. It allows you to hold the camera firm and there is a better balance even when a large lens is mounted, so that you can focus on the composition of your shake free images.
Horizontal and Vertical Body Operation
The GFX100 camera body has a built in vertical grip, it is the first FUJIFILM camera to have this integrated design. This allows the camera to be thinner and lighter than before while still housing a large sensor, shutter mechanism, IBIS and two batteries. This balanced design of the camera allows the user to instantly switch from landscape to portrait orientation.
