Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera Black

Fujifilm GFX 100RF Medium Format Camera Black Summary

The Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Camera Black combines the success of the X-series compact point-and-shoot range with the image quality associated with Fuji’s 102MP medium format sensor. With an all-new portable design measuring 90.4mm x 133mm and weighing just 740g, the GFX100RF is the most compact Fujifilm medium format camera to date, yet it offers advanced capabilities for both stills and video content creation.

Despite its point-and-shoot form factor, the camera delivers outstanding image quality, thanks to featuring the same second-generation GFX 102MP CMOS II Sensor and powerful X Processor 5 as the GFX 100S II.

A rangefinder-style EVF is integrated into the unique designed body that combines Fujifilm’s familiar styling with all-new functionality. This includes a dedicated aspect ratio dial, offering nine formats, a new surround view setting via the Q button, and a fixed Fuji 35mm medium format lens with a 28mm equivalent field of view in full-frame terms.

The wide-angle lens enables you to capture a variety of everyday subjects from landscapes and street photography to architecture and portraits. A front lever on the body controls a digital teleconverter offering 45mm, 63mm, and 80mm equivalent focal lengths for even greater versatility. With a leaf shutter design flash sync is possible at speeds that far surpass traditional camera and lens designs, and the GFX 100RF delivers tenacious AI-driven AF with fifth-generation algorithms that recognise a variety of subjects during stills and video shooting.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Medium Format Compact Camera Black in More Detail

Medium format image quality in a compact design

The GFX100RF brings the power of Fujifilm’s medium format system into a compact point-and-shoot design that comfortably fits into your jacket pocket. The camera is available in black and silver, which both feature tactile controls and dials that exude retro-chic styling while maintaining the intuitive operation, which Fujifilm cameras are known for.

At its core, the GFX camera features the latest GFX 102MP CMOS II Sensor and X Processor 5, which deliver exceptional stills and video quality with Fujifilm’s most advanced autofocus system to date. Users benefit not only from the 102MP medium format sensor, but also from a wide ISO range that starts with a base ISO 80 for stills, and 4K 30p video recording with a base ISO of 100.

The camera also supports wide dynamic range 4:2:2 10-bit recording in-camera, while its AI-driven autofocus system uses deep learning technology for advanced subject tracking and detection.

The medium format sensor is around 1.7x larger than a 35mm full-frame sensor, and features wide dynamic range and broad on-sensor phase detection AF coverage. This supports HEIF files, 10-bit video and exceptional colour rendition for both stills and video.

New 35mm fixed medium format lens

The camera allows you to enjoy the look of a 35mm medium format lens with the equivalent field of view of a wide angle 28mm lens in full-frame format. This focal width is well-suited to a wide variety of genres, including landscape photography, architecture, reportage and street photography, environmental portraits, everyday snapshots and travel.

Fujifilm developed a new lens especially for the GFX100RF, and thoroughly revised and optimised the internal structure of the camera body. The optical design features 10 elements in 8 groups, which includes two aspherical lenses designed to reduce spherical aberration and field curvature, while delivering high resolution performance.

A newly developed Nano GI coating is optimised for lenses with significant curvature, which helps to suppress reflections even at the edges of the frame, ensuring the exceptional resolution that users expect from GFX Series equipment. With a minimum focus distance of 20cm, you can get close to your subject, and despite being a large format camera, its compact, lightweight design provides an intuitive handheld shooting experience.

For the first time in the GFX Series, the camera features a built-in 4-stop ND filter, ideal for wide-aperture shooting in bright conditions or achieving long-exposure effects with slow shutter speeds.

The lens benefits from a leaf shutter design, which enables high-speed flash sync with a compatible Fujifilm compatible flash unit at:

• 1/2000 second at f/4
• 1/2500 second at f/5.6
• 1/4000 second at f/8 and above

High speed flash sync lets you freeze fast-moving action, even in bright sunlight, while maintaining creative control over depth of field at wider apertures.

For even greater versatility, the 35mm fixed lens includes a digital teleconverter, which is accessible via a dedicated front lever on the camera body. When shooting at 35mm (28mm equivalent), the entire sensor area is utilised, while activating the digital teleconverter crops the image to the following full-frame equivalents:

• 45mm (65.9MP)
• 63mm (31.2MP)
• 80mm (19.7MP)

This demonstrates the advantage of the 102MP sensor, allowing for significant cropping while retaining high image quality and resolution.

True Multi-format Image Selection

The Fujifilm GFX100RF allows users to capture images in nine different aspect ratios, which are selectable via a dedicated dial on the body. This enables instant format selection for creative freedom, including native 4:3, 3:2, 1:1 square, 17:6 panorama, and more, simply by rotating the command dial.

A new Surround View setting is also available. This is accessible via the Q button, and offers three viewing options including black, semi-transparent, and line overlays, providing greater flexibility in composition and framing.

Rangefinder-style viewfinder

The 100RF includes a bright Rangefinder-style EVF with the following specifications for crystal clear framing and image review:

• 0.5-inch
• 0.84x magnification
• 5.76M dots
• 100fps

Newly adopted LCD monitor

Along with a high brightness EVF is a newly adopted 3.15-inch, 2.1 million-dot, two-axis tilt LCD monitor. This features a new user interface (UI), which provides an immersive shooting experience by aligning shooting icons to match the monitor's 3:2 aspect ratio.

Additionally, a new Surround View function lets you see areas outside the shooting frame in a semi-transparent or line format, based on the aspect ratio. This can be quickly toggled using a lever while looking through the viewfinder, offering an OVF-like experience on an EVF, so you can stay aware of what’s happening outside the frame.

Compact and portable design

The new all-in-one compact design makes the GFX 100RF the smallest and lightest GFX camera to date, even surpassing the compact size and weight of the original GFX 50R with a GF 50mm lens, which weighs 1,110g. By comparison, the GFX compact weighs just 740g and measures 90.4mm high x 133mm wide x 70.2mm deep.

This is also Fujifilm’s first medium format camera to adopt a precisely machined aluminium top plate, and the same meticulous machining extends to components like the lens ring, dials, and bottom plate. This attention to materials enhances the feel of the metal and delivers a unified design that adds to the ownership experience.

20 Film Simulations Modes and ND filter

With a rich heritage in colour science Fujifilm has developed 20 Film Simulation Modes, which are all available in the GFX 100RF. This includes the REALA ACE recipe, which renders slightly reduced saturation and similar tonality to PRO Neg. Std for everyday shooting.

A digital ND filter is also available, which enables wider apertures or slower shutter speeds in bright daylight conditions.

Powerful X-Processor 5

Fujifilm’s X-Processor 5 is the latest cutting-edge imaging engine, powering both medium format and X-series cameras. It features advanced autofocus technology, including AI-driven subject detection and tracking for both stills and video, and is capable of recognising:

• Human faces and eyes
• Animals
• Birds
• Cars
• Motorcycles
• Bicycles
• Airplanes
• Trains

Upgraded video recording

The hybrid design of the GFX 100RF enables internal 4:2:2 10-bit recording using the F-Log 2 profile, which delivers wide dynamic range, shallow depth of field, and smooth tonal gradation. The camera captures digitally stabilised cinematic video in-camera at up to 4K/30p, with a low base ISO of 100 for enhanced dynamic range of up to 13 stops. A 5-axis electronic image stabilisation system helps steady footage, while frame.io integration supports an online workflow, with remote collaboration and file management.
