The GFX100S is a mirrorless system camera with a large format sensor and compact dimensions, powerful processor, five-axis image stabilization, fast and precise autofocus, swiveling display and much more. It is aimed at creative photographers and videographers.

Technologically, the FUJIFILM GFX100S is based on the FUJIFILM GFX100 and its concept of a compact, lightweight digital camera with a large format sensor. Thanks to its handy design and uncompromising performance, the GFX100S can also be used in situations that were previously exclusively reserved for cameras with smaller sensors.
The GFX100S weighs only 900 grams and its dimensions are comparable to most “full-frame cameras”. Nevertheless, it has a large-format 102-megapixel sensor*1, integrated five-axis image stabilization with 6.0 EV stops*2, fast and precise autofocus and the legendary FUJIFILM color technology. All in all, this makes the GFX100S the ultimate tool for creative photographers and videographers.

 

102 megapixel sensor for unparalleled image quality

The FUJIFILM GFX100S has a 102-megapixel back-illuminated image sensor with a large format diagonal of 55 mm. It is around 1.7 times larger than a conventional 35mm sensor (“full format”), which enables a very shallow depth of field and an exact separation of sharpness and blur. The camera also offers impressive dynamic range, precise color reproduction and outstanding high-ISO capabilities.

For more than 86 years, the name FUJIFILM has stood for unparalleled image quality. Many iconic photos and films have been created on FUJIFILM material, valued by users around the world for its distinctive color reproduction. With the 19 film simulations of the FUJIFILM GFX100S, the legendary FUJIFILM colors are available practically at the push of a button. For the first time, the new film simulation “Nostalgic Negative” can be used with the camera, which reproduces the look of New American Color Photography from the 1970s. The images taken with it are characterized by soft colors and great detail. Warm highlights and saturated shadows give the shots a lyrical mood.

Fast autofocus down to -5.5 EV

Almost the entire area of ​​the GFX100S’s large-format image sensor is equipped with phase AF pixels. Unlike conventional medium format cameras, the GFX100S has powerful automatic focusing and quickly focuses on the subject in up to 0.18 seconds, even at low brightness of -5.5 EV*3. For moving subjects, the X Processor 4 and a new AF algorithm enable precise tracking AF with intelligent face and eye detection.

Built-in five-axis image stabilization

The GFX100S features an advanced five-axis image stabilization system (IBIS) that makes sharp handheld shots with ultra-high-resolution cameras much easier. Compared to the GFX100, the IBIS unit of the GFX100S is around 20 percent smaller and 10 percent lighter, but despite this smaller size, it achieves compensation of 6 EV levels according to the CIPA standard. This represents an improvement of 0.5 EV levels over the GFX100.

Compact and weatherproof camera housing

The FUJIFILM GFX100S weighs just 900 grams, making it exceptionally light for a camera with a large format sensor.
With its dimensions of 15 cm x 10.4 cm x 8.7 cm (WxHxD), it is comparable in size to many 35mm cameras, although its housing houses a 102 megapixel sensor that is almost twice as large. The compact dimensions were made possible by the new IBIS unit, a revised locking mechanism and a smaller but powerful lithium-ion battery. In direct comparison with the GFX100, the new GFX100S is around 6 cm smaller and 500 g lighter. The robust and ergonomic handle ensures optimally balanced handling and fatigue-free operation of the camera, even during long periods of use.

The GFX100S is protected against splash water and dust and can be used at low temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. The robust magnesium housing is additionally reinforced around the bayonet connection to guarantee the best possible stability when using larger and heavier lenses.

Proven operating concept

The controls of the GFX100S will be familiar to newcomers and experienced users of the GFX system alike. In addition to the exposure modes (PASM), the large adjustment wheel on the top offers six user-defined profiles that provide direct access to frequently used settings. Right next to it, a switch allows you to quickly switch back and forth between photo and video recording. In addition, the ergonomics of the focus lever have been revised, allowing even more intuitive selection of focus points.

The camera has an 8.1 cm (3.2 inch) LC display on the back with 2.36 million pixels and an image field coverage of 100 percent. The display has a touch function and can be swiveled 90 degrees up, 45 degrees down and 60 degrees to the right. On the top there is a 4.5 cm (1.8 inch) secondary LCD display that serves as an information display. Depending on your needs, important recording settings (exposure time, aperture, ISO value and exposure compensation) and other relevant parameters, such as the remaining capacity of the memory card, can be displayed here.

High-resolution 4K videos with a medium format look

The GFX100S saves high-resolution 4K/30p moving images at 400 M/bit in 10 bit 4:2:0 F-Log format directly on the memory card or as 12 bit 4:2:2 ProRes RAW via HDMI on an external recorder. The large-format sensor not only enables an attractive cinema look with an ultra-shallow depth of field, but also a large dynamic range and impressive high-ISO performance.

Videos can be recorded in the classic widescreen format (16:9) or in the DCI format (17:9) developed for digital cinema. Common compression standards such as H.264 and H.265, as well as professional log modes such as Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and F-Log, are also available. In the latter, the video signal is matched to the camera sensor so that the maximum contrast range can be used during post-production, for example when correcting color and brightness.
If 4K/30p 12-bit video data is saved directly to an Atomos Ninja V monitor recorder via HDMI, it can be output in ProRes RAW data format, which allows maximum flexibility in post-production. The simultaneous output of raw data/log material as well as film simulations is also possible.
