Fujifilm Upgrades GFX 100

2020.11.25

Fujifilm just announced version 3.0 of the firmware for their flagship Medium Format Mirrorless Digital Camera. With this new firmware the Fujifilm GFX-100 gains a new super-resolution mode to create incredibly-detailed 400 megapixels images.

This unique digital cameras is built-around a class-leading 102 megapixels CMOS sensor without Anti-Alias Filter and using a standard Bayer Color-Filter Array which makes it the highest-resolution camera on the market with 16-bit interpolated colors at every pixel. Its large 0.8X crop-sensor is mounted on a 5-axis image-stabilization system with 5½-stops of efficiency.

With the new GFX 100 Firmware 3.0, the camera takes 16 individual exposures with ½-pixel increments in twice along each cardinal direction. The result is a set of 16 megapixels RAW files that can be combined together into a ultra-high-resolution 400 megapixels image with full-color information at every pixel using an incredible 48-bit color-depth.

A new Pixel Shift Combiner software is being launched to support this Super-Resolution mode and improve workflow, including integration with Capture One.

Along with the new firmware, Fujifilm is launching on-demand production of a GFX 100 without IR-cut filter to be used for scientific and forensic applications what require the recording of UV light. This new camera is named the Fujifilm GFX 100 IR and gets the same firmware version which supports 400 megapixels Multi-Shot Capture. This camera is expected to be available through a special sales channel in Q1 2021.
