FUJIFILM GFX 50S II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera | Body Only

The GFX 50S II from FUJIFILM presents an exceptional combination of accessibility and versatility, distinguishing itself as a compact and portable medium format mirrorless camera. It is equipped with a 51.4MP CMOS sensor and an enhanced X-Processor 4 image processor, enabling the production of images with an extensive dynamic range and high resolution. The camera also boasts an impressive sensitivity range of ISO 50-102400, making it suitable for challenging lighting scenarios. The large sensor size contributes to a distinctive three-dimensional appearance, characterized by smooth tonal and color transitions.

Furthermore, the GFX 50S II incorporates a five-axis in-body image stabilization system that compensates for up to 6.5 stops of camera shake, enhancing handheld shooting capabilities. This feature significantly expands the creative options available to photographers who wish to experiment with slower shutter speeds. For image composition, the camera includes a 3.69m-dot electronic viewfinder for high-resolution eye-level viewing, alongside a rear 3.2" 2.36m-dot touchscreen LCD that offers a three-way tilting design, facilitating shooting from both high and low perspectives. Additionally, the GFX 50S II is constructed from magnesium alloy, ensuring it is both lightweight and robust, while also being dust- and weather-resistant, as well as freezeproof down to 14°F, making it suitable for use in demanding environmental conditions.

51.4MP CMOS Sensor and X-Processor 4

The GFX 50S II features a substantial 43.8 x 32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS sensor paired with an enhanced X-Processor 4, enabling the capture of high-resolution, 14-bit images across a wide sensitivity spectrum of ISO 100-12800, which can be expanded to ISO 50-102400. The considerable size of each pixel enhances light collection efficiency, resulting in smoother tonal and color gradations that create a distinctive three-dimensional "medium format look." Additionally, the camera supports various traditional medium and large format aspect ratios beyond the standard 4:3, including 1:1, 65:24, 5:4, 7:6, 3:2, and 16:9, further contributing to the medium format aesthetic. The combination of the image processor and sensor also allows for continuous shooting at up to 3 fps and the capability to record Full HD 1080p video at frame rates of 29.97, 25, 24, and 23.98 fps.

Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

Distinguishing itself from its predecessor, the GFX 50S II incorporates an in-body image stabilization system that offers an exceptional 6.5 stops of five-axis stabilization. This advancement significantly expands the creative options for photographers seeking to utilize slower shutter speeds with greater flexibility.

117-Point Autofocus System

Accompanying the enhanced image processor is a 117-point autofocus system that facilitates precise and rapid responses, whether it involves tracking a subject or identifying a face within a crowd. Additionally, an upgraded autofocusing algorithm enhances focusing efficiency across all modes, including face and eye detection.

Additional Camera Features

• The FUJIFILM G lens mount is designed with a short focal flange distance of merely 26.7mm, which enhances the adaptability of lenses. This design also minimizes back focusing distances, effectively reducing vignetting and ensuring improved edge-to-edge sharpness when used with the GF series of lenses.
  
  
• Film Simulation modes allow you to reproduce the look and feel of 19 of FUJIFILM's film types, including Provia, Velvia, Astia, Eterna, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg., Pro Neg. Hi, Pro Neg. Standard, Acros, Monochrome, and Sepia. Additionally, Grain Effect can be adjusted as well as Classic Chrome effect to fine-tune the look of imagery.
  
  
• Mechanical focal plane permits working with shutter speeds from 60 min. up to 1/4000 sec, and an electronic shutter allows the use of shutter speeds up to 1/16000 sec for working in bright light conditions.
  
  
• Dual SD memory card slots are featured, and permit saving imagery in a sequential manner, backup/duplicate manner, or in a sorted manner to segregate JPEG and raw files.
  
  
• Tethered shooting can be accomplished through the use of X Acquire software, which facilitates the transfer of images from the camera to a designated hot folder on your computer for subsequent editing. Additionally, options such as the Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and HS-V5 for Windows operating systems are also accessible.
  
  

Body Design

The device is equipped with a 3.69 million-dot electronic viewfinder, providing high-resolution viewing at a magnification of 0.77x from an eye-level perspective. Additionally, a 3.2-inch touchscreen LCD with a resolution of 2.36 million dots is available for image playback, menu navigation, and live view shooting. Furthermore, an LCD monitor is incorporated on the top plate to display settings confirmation and exposure information.

The Single NP-W235 rechargeable lithium-ion battery is designed to deliver around 440 shots on a single charge. Additionally, the integrated Wi-Fi feature facilitates direct wireless file sharing and enables remote control of the camera through a connected mobile device.
