Dial Into Creativity
The GFX100RF comes equipped with an innovative Aspect Ratio Dial—an intriguing nod to Fujifilm’s rich analogue heritage. Photographers can effortlessly toggle between nine versatile shooting formats, including the new ‘3:4′ and ’17:6’ ratios. This tactile experience enhances creativity, allowing users to choose an aspect ratio that best suits their artistic vision.
Versatile Lens, Limitless Possibilities
Paired with a newly developed 35mm F4 fixed lens (28mm equivalent), the GFX100RF ensures versatile performance across various shooting scenarios—landscapes, portraits, or everyday snapshots. The built-in leaf shutter mechanism not only enables flash photography at any shutter speed but also keeps the camera impressively compact. Additionally, the digital teleconverter lever provides flexibility, offering three focal lengths: 45mm, 63mm, and 80mm.
Next-Level Autofocus and Video Capabilities
Beyond still photography, the GFX100RF shines with its high-speed, precision autofocus, powered by AI-driven subject detection technology capable of recognising animals, vehicles, and even aeroplanes. Its video capabilities aren’t shabby either, delivering smooth 4K/30P 10-bit recordings that cater to both professional and enthusiast videographers.
Elegant and Functional Accessories
Fujifilm hasn’t overlooked the accessories. The GFX100RF package includes a weather-resistant protector filter, a precision-machined aluminium lens hood, and, notably, a stylish rope-type shoulder strap—a first for the GFX series.
