Features:

Advanced Large-Format Sensor with 102MP Resolution

At the heart of the FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 lies a massive 43.8 x 33.9mm CMOS sensor with an effective 102MP resolution, providing cinematographers with one of the tallest sensors available in digital cinema. This large-format sensor delivers an extraordinary field of view, superior depth-of-field control, and remarkable dynamic range—ideal for productions aiming for cinematic visuals that rival IMAX and film-quality capture.

Native 4:3 Aspect Ratio for Maximum Flexibility

Unlike traditional cinema cameras locked into 16:9 or 17:9, the GFX ETERNA 55’s native 4:3 aspect ratio opens creative possibilities for anamorphic shooting and large-format framing. With 1.75x the imaging area of Super 35, filmmakers can push boundaries in composition, storytelling, and immersive visual design.

Multiple Video Formats and Resolutions, Including 8K

The camera supports an impressive range of recording options: 8K up to 30 fps, 6.3K at 24 fps, 5.8K anamorphic, 4K in DCI and UHD, and Full HD up to 60 fps. Whether your project demands ultra-high-resolution 8K mastering or efficient Super 35 workflows, the GFX ETERNA 55 adapts seamlessly.

Professional Internal and External Recording Options

The camera records internally in Apple ProRes 422/HQ/LT, 10-bit HEVC/H.265, or H.264, ensuring maximum quality and efficient editing. For advanced workflows, filmmakers can output 12-bit RAW or 10-bit 4:2:2 uncompressed via HDMI, enabling true cinematic grading and post-production flexibility.

Customizable Frame Guides for On-Set Precision

With custom frame guide creation, cinematographers can tailor aspect ratios (1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 17:9, 2.39:1, and custom settings) directly in the viewfinder. Scaling, line widths, and colors can be adjusted, allowing directors and DPs to pre-visualize multiple delivery formats during shooting without guesswork.

Dual Mount System: FUJIFILM G-Mount and ARRI PL

The GFX ETERNA 55 comes equipped with a native FUJIFILM G-mount supporting autofocus power-zoom lenses with geared rings, plus an ARRI PL mount adapter that integrates industry-standard cinema glass, including Cooke /i lenses with metadata support. This dual mount system gives filmmakers complete lensing freedom.

Built-In Variable Electronic ND Filter

Filmmakers gain precise exposure control with the integrated ND 0.6–2.1 filter, offering 2 to 7 stops in stepless .015 increments. This electronic filter enables smooth adjustments without affecting depth of field or shutter speed, ensuring perfect results in outdoor shoots, bright exteriors, and controlled lighting environments.

Optical Low-Pass Filter for Cleaner Visuals

A first for the GFX series, the optical low-pass filter (OLPF) reduces moiré, aliasing, and color artifacts—particularly critical when shooting against LED walls, digital backdrops, or fine patterns. This ensures more natural results straight out of the camera.

Hot-Swappable Power Options

The internal NP-W235 battery system supports hot-swapping with external V-Mount batteries or DC power input. Productions can run continuously without downtime, making the GFX ETERNA 55 reliable for long shoots and on-location work.

Professional Monitoring and Dual Operator Control

The camera includes dual 3-inch touchscreens (for operator and assistant) with 700 cd/m² brightness, plus an external 5-inch monitor with 2000 cd/m² daylight visibility. This ensures clarity for both technical adjustments and creative framing, no matter the environment.

20 FUJIFILM Film Simulations and Custom 3D LUTs

With access to 20 film simulations—including ETERNA/Cinema, Nostalgic Neg., Velvia, ACROS, and Classic Chrome—filmmakers can achieve in-camera looks that mirror iconic FUJIFILM film stocks. For advanced grading, the GFX ETERNA 55 supports custom 3D LUTs in F-Log2 C, giving productions both creative control and efficiency.

Seamless Connectivity and Remote Workflow Support

Equipped with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth LE, HDMI, SDI, genlock, USB-C, and 2-pin LEMO outputs, this camera integrates easily into modern production pipelines. Features like Frame.io compatibility and browser-based remote operation for focus, zoom, and iris make collaboration and multi-crew management effortless.

Expanded Audio with TASCAM XLR Compatibility

Beyond its built-in microphone and headphone ports, the GFX ETERNA 55 supports the TASCAM XLR microphone adapter, enabling professional-grade multi-channel audio recording for on-set sound quality that meets cinematic standards.

Rugged, Lightweight, and Production-Ready Design

Weighing just 2 kg (body only), the camera is built with multiple mounting points (1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16), a cold shoe, and accessory threads. With an operating range of -10 to 40°C, it is ready for challenging environments, ensuring durability without sacrificing portability.
