The GFX100 II is equipped with the newly-developed 102MP image sensor ”GFX 102MP CMOS II HS” that boasts up to double the signal readout speed compared to the current model to enable continuous shooting of up to 8.0 frames per second. Users can enjoy burst shooting at quick intervals completely stress-free thanks also to reinforced buffer memory. In the field of sports photography, previously difficult with past GFX Series models, the GFX100 II seizes decisive photo moments while preserving the high definition and high image quality synonymous to the large format sensor.

The use of an improved algorithm has evolved the Face / Eye AF and introduced the AI-based subject-detection AF, developed with Deep Learning technology. The power of AI means the camera can now detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects and drones. A detected subject is automatically tracked while kept in focus so that users can focus on shutter opportunities and framing. The evolved predictive AF algorithm provides added ease to users in genres requiring advanced tracking capability for fast-moving subject, such as sports photography.

Improvement to the pixel structure has boosted the new sensor’s saturated electrons, thereby enabling the use of ISO80 as a standard sensitivity. When the sensor sensitivity is set at ISO80, the camera can capture images at greater dynamic range and lower noise than with the previous model. The new sensor’s microlenses are improved to increase light use efficiency at the sensor’s edges, thus improving image quality at edges and AF accuracy over the previous model. The GFX100 II comes with a total of 20 Film Simulation modes including the new “REALA ACE” to give images a diverse range of distinctive tones. “REALA ACE” offers faithful colour reproduction and high-contrast tonality, making it suitable for any subjects and situations.

The camera features the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which enables 4x resolution and accurate color reproduction. The IBIS mechanism is precisely controlled to shift the image sensor by 0.5 pixel and shoot 16 RAW images in a quick succession. The dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner” is then used to combine the 16 RAW files to generate a 400MP image. This is a perfect choice for commercial photography or digital archiving of cultural assets.

The use of the new sensor has given the ability to record 4K/60P video and even 8K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally. The sensor readout speed has been increased to suppress the rolling shutter effect for natural filming of a moving subject. ISO100 is also available in the video mode for filming of even higher image quality. The GFX100 II supports three Apple ProRes*9 codecs, i.e. Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 422 LT. When shooting in Apple ProRes, the camera can use proxy video recording such as Apple ProRes 422 Proxy, which reduces video editing workload to streamline the overall workflow from filming to post production.

The camera supports various cine recording formats, including Premista, 35mm, and anamorphic (35mm) with the mount adapter. The video is recorded in optimized settings, accommodating a variety of video expressions. The tracking AF function for video recording has been added. Users can touch the screen to specify a subject to be tracked while filming in the AF-C + Wide / Tracking AF mode. This allows the camera to track the right subject in situations where multiple subjects are in the frame. This is the first GFX Series camera that features F-Log2 with dynamic range expanded up to 14+ stops*10. This enhancement enables video recording with enriched tonality, thereby broadening post-production potential significantly.

The camera body is equipped with an Ethernet port as well as HDMI Type A and USB-C terminals to broaden connectivity with external devices significantly for diverse peripheral combinations. An external SSD can be connected via USB-C to record stills and video data directly in the external SDD in any mode or format including 4K/60P and 8K/30P. The camera supports the cloud service “Frame.io Camera to Cloud” so that Apple ProRes Proxy files and a variety of other video files can be uploaded directly to Frame.io, thus dramatically streamlining the workflow from shooting to editing.

The camera is equipped with dual card slots supporting CFexpressTM Type B and SD cards. The use of a CFexpressTM Type B card with a fast write speed brings out the full video performance of the GFX100 II.
