The FUJIFILM GFX 50S medium format mirrorless digital camera adopts a
43.8ｘ32.9mm medium format (FUJIFILM G Format) sensor
with 51.4 MP. Featuring premium design and excellent operability stemming from
the highly reputable digital camera X Series system and the accumulation of
image design technology from over 80 years of experience, the GFX 50S achieves
the highest ever image quality from Fujifilm.
Released with the APS-C sensor
in 2011, the X Series has earned high praise from professional photographers
and photography enthusiasts alike, due to its excellent image quality and
mobility across a wide range of genres including landscapes, snaps, portraits,
and sports photos. On the other hand, there were also many photographers
craving for the release of a camera equipped with a large-size sensor with an
even higher number of effective pixels, which could be used mainly in the
fields of commercial and studio portrait photography, while at the same time
keeping the excellent color reproduction of the X Series intact. In response to
those voices, Fujifilm developed the FUJIFILM GFX 50S and the FUJINON GF Lenses
series as a system for photographers that require even higher image quality
than can be covered by the current X Series lineup.
Equipped with a 43.8mm x 32.9mm, 51.4 MP CMOS
sensor, boasting approx. 1.7x the area of full frame sensorsThanks to the excellent light reception performance due to the large
area of each pixel, room to spare is created in the camera's high sensitivity
performance and tone reproduction, achieving high image quality exceeding that
of cameras equipped with full size sensors with an equivalent number of pixels.
Therefore, precise images can be reproduced down to the smallest detail,
conveying the texture of the subject, a three-dimensional feeling, and even the
atmosphere of the scene.
Equipped with X Processor Pro image processing
engine
By using the highly rated X Processor Pro, which is also used in the
X-Pro2 and X-T2 cameras, it is possible to experience Fujifilm's acclaimed Film
Simulation color reproduction with an ultra-high quality large size sensor. The
Movie function also supports Full HD recording at 30p. Users can enjoy high
quality video with no post-processing required by using Film Simulation modes
just like they would with a still image.
Compact and lightweight body with high rigidity due
to the adoption of magnesium alloy
With a weight of approx. 1230g when paired with a standard lens (GF63mm
F2.8 R WR), the camera weighs approx. 60% of a medium format DSLR camera
equipped with a sensor of the same size. Even when compared to a DSLR camera
with a slightly smaller full size sensor, the camera comes in at almost the
same weight. Overall camera body height and width have also been minimized for
maximum flexibility, overturning the common perceptions regarding the mobility
of medium format digital cameras.
3.69M-dot organic EL electronic viewfinder and
2.36M-dot touchscreen LCD back panel
A detachable structure has been adopted with the GFS 50S to allow for
flexible operation according to how the user wishes to use it. Also, by
attaching the separately sold EVF-TL1 EVF tilt adapter, the angle can be
changed to a maximum angle of 90° when shooting horizontal landscapes and ±45°
when shooting in the portrait position. A 3.2-inch, 2.36M-dot touch panel has
been adopted for the rear monitor, allowing the user to use touch operations
for the selection of the menu, distance measuring points and viewing of images
that have been taken. The inclusion of a three-directional tilting LCD screen offers
maximum operability and makes viewing images and checking focus easy for the
user.
Newly developed large diameter G Mount with
excellent robustness and durability
Utilizing the merits of newly developing both a camera body and lenses
simultaneously, the GFX 50S adopts a large diameter/short flange back mount
with a diameter of 65mm and a flange back of 26.7mm. This construction promotes
the freedom of the optical design of the lens, greatly contributing to high
image quality and miniaturization of the body.
Newly developed ultra-high resolution FUJINON GF
Lenses
In preparation for the future, the GF Lens series, newly designed
specifically for the GFX 50S, possesses the resolution power capable of
supporting a sensor with 100 MP. The lens barrel also features an aperture ring
in the same manner as Fujifilm’s XF Lenses, supporting the intuitive operation
of photographers. A C (=Command) Position has been newly added to the aperture
ring as well, allowing users to change the aperture using the command dial on
the camera's body. In order to prevent incorrect operation, the A (=Auto)
Position and C Position feature a locking button installed on the aperture ring
that must be disabled to implement changes.
