FUJIFILM G Format Image Sensor

The FUJIFILM GFX 50S features a 43.8x32.9mm CMOS medium format sensor: a product of Fujifilm's rich history, cutting-edge digital technology and extensive knowledge of medium format film cameras. Boasting an effective resolution of 51.4 million pixels and paired with high-performance GF lenses, the sensor delivers superior tones and sharpness that will impress professional photographers shooting in the world of commercial, fashion or landscapes.

Optimized Sensor Design

Both the shape of the light-gathering micro-lenses and the processing from the photodiodes have been optimized to achieve a high level of sharpness and broad dynamic range. The lowest native ISO sensitivity of 100 and the 14-stop dynamic range, achieved with 14-bit RAW data, delivers high definition images in a variety of conditions with notably rich skin tones and intricate foliage detail.

X-Processor Pro

The FUJIFILM GFX 50S sports the X-Processor Pro image processing engine, capable of drawing the very best out of the 51.4 megapixel sensor. Its advanced processing accelerates and optimizes the camera's performance in a variety of areas including stunning color reproduction with Fujifilm's unique Film Simulation modes, in-camera RAW conversion to the 8-bit TIFF format, accurate contrast AF, quick startup time, and minimal shutter release time lag and shooting intervals between frames.

FUJIFILM G Mount

The FUJIFILM GFX 50S uses the G Mount, which has a mount diameter of 65mm, flange back distance of 26.7mm and minimum back focus distance of 16.7mm. It uses as many as 12 electronic contact points for sending and receiving data, plus it supports the use of a wide variety of lenses and accessories. The short back focus distance, made possible because of the Fujifilm mirrorless system's structure, affords greater freedom in lens design to contribute to the development of fast, compact and high-performance GF lenses while preventing vignetting to deliver edge-to-edge sharpness.

Dust-resistant, weather-resistant and freezeproof to -10°C

The body is made from robust magnesium alloy, which feels both solid and durable in the hand. The body is weather-sealed in 58 points to achieve a high level of resistance to dust and moisture. The GFX 50S is compact and lightweight despite the large size of its sensor, plus its dust and weather-resistant body means it's equally effective in the studio or out in the field.

High Magnification / High Definition Electronic Viewfinder

The FUJIFILM GFX 50S is supplied with a detachable 3.69M-dot EVF with 100% coverage and a viewfinder magnification of 0.85x. It uses five dedicated lens elements to achieve 100% coverage and offers a diopter adjustment range of -4m-1 to＋2m-1.

Large Rear Touchscreen LCD Tilts in Three Directions

- The rear 2.36M-dot LCD monitor measures 3.2 inches and offers 100% coverage. The smart touchscreen panel enables intuitive operation and tilts in three directions (90° up, 45° down and 60° to the right) for easy framing and shooting from high or low angles.

- The FUJIFILM GFX 50S features a smart touchscreen display, which makes it easy to select an AF area, bring up an RGB histogram, display the 3D electronic level and enlarge the Live View.

3D Electronic Level & RGB Histogram

- 3D Electronic Level: This electronic level uses a 3D system and is highly effective for architecture or landscape photography, when the accuracy of horizontal and vertical lines is crucial.

- RGB Histogram: The FUJIFILM GFX 50S can display four types of histograms: RGB and brightness, each with or without highlight warnings.

Image Formats

The FUJIFILM GFX 50S saves pictures in a variety of formats and quality, including two sizes and three compression levels of JPEGs, as well as compressed/uncompressed RAW. Even when you are shooting only in RAW, the camera records 12-megapixel thumbnails at the same time. Its in-camera RAW conversion function also enables RAW files processing with the ability to save them as 8-bit TIFFs.

ISO Sensitivity

- The standard ISO sensitivity range is ISO100-12800, with extended sensitivities of ISO50, ISO25600, ISO51200 and ISO102400 also available. RAW format is supported at all these ISO settings. The AUTO function allows you to set the standard ISO, low shutter speed limit and upper ISO limit, and configure AUTO 1 - 3 settings according to shooting conditions.

- Standard Output: AUTO1 / AUTO2 / AUTO3 (up to ISO12800) / ISO100 to 12800 (1/3 step)

- Extended Output:ISO50 / 25600 / 51200 / 102400

Film Simulation

Developed with Fujifilm's color producing know-how over 80 years of photographic film manufacturing, Film Simulation allows you to reproducing a variety of colors and tones as if using different photographic films.

Grain and Color Chrome Effect

- Grain Effect: Graininess is added to the entire frame to simulate the look of film-based images.

- Color Chrome Effect: Provides an extra boost to saurated colors for a more punchy result.

Shutter

- The World's First Focal-Plane Shutter* Specifically Designed for Medium Format Mirrorless Cameras

- The newly-developed focal-plane shutter is the world's first specifically designed for medium format mirrorless cameras. It is a low-noise mechanical shutter that withstands 150,000 actuations**, offers shutter speeds up to 1/4000 sec and has an electronic first curtain. Choose from three shutter types, including an electronic shutter.

Tether Shooting

- HS-V5 (Optional)* - Use HS-V5 for Windows software to tether the FUJIFILM GFX 50S using a USB cable. This enables you to directly save pictures on to a computer or control the camera from the computer. The Hyper-Utility3 software, which comes with the camera, allows you to view the photographs you have taken on your computer. With the software, you can analyze images based on information it displays such as histogram, highlight warnings and tags, evaluate images by displaying two images side by side for comparison and sort/organize images with the Marker function.

- Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (optional)**

- A plug-in to allow Adobe Photoshop Lightroom users to tether the FUJIFILM GFX 50S to a computer, using a USB cable and directly save pictures on the computer or control the camera from it. In addition to the functions available in the standard version of the Tether Shooting Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, this PRO version allows you to view the photographs you have taken on your computer, and displays the Control Panel window on the computer to enable a variety of camera controls. The conventional Lightroom tethering plug-in forces you to wait until your picture is transferred, saved and registered with Lightroom before it is displayed on the screen for checking. The Control Panel window in the PRO version displays pictures faster for quick viewing. The Control Panel window also supports Live View as well as offers a multitude of camera controls such as exposure settings, bracketing, interval photography, overlay check and backup/restoration of camera settings.

* After purchasing the HS-V5, download the latest version from the official website.

** Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 or CC is required. The compatible OS is same as that of Lightroom. To use on macOS Sierra, Lightroom should be upgraded to 6.7 or later / CC 2015.7 or later.
