Features of the GFX100

With the features of the GFX series image sensor which has the a diagonal length of about 55 mm (43.8 mm x 32.9 mm) and is approx. 1.7 times bigger than a 35 mm full-frame format, GFX100 has double number of pixels compared to the current model. Combining with the unique color reproduction technology, it achieves the world-leading image quality.

The GFX100 carries the large format sensor, a newly developed large image sensor with 102 million pixels resolution. It produces the world-leading photographic image quality when combined with the latest fourth-generation “X-Processor 4” high-speed image processing engine, ultra-sharp FUJINON GF lenses and color reproduction technology nurtured through the photographic film business over many years.

The image sensor offers a back-illuminated structure with excellent light-receiving performance. Taking advantage of its wide dynamic range to achieve rich tonal reproduction and low noise, while also achieving high-speed readout of image data despite the massive pixel count.

It boasts highly accurate AF with exceptional ability to track a moving subject at a speed up to twice that of current models. This equates to the level of mobility that sets a new standard for digital cameras using an image sensor larger than the 35mm full-frame format.

The combination of the new image sensor with high-speed readout and the high-performance “X-Processor 4” image-processing engine has given the camera a capability of capturing smooth motions at 30fps in 4K video.
