Fujifilm X-H2 Mirrorless Camera

Perfect for the next generation of hybrid image makers, the black Fujifilm X-H2 Mirrorless Camera blends the compact and lightweight versatility of APS-C mirrorless cameras with an unmatched back-side illuminated X-Trans CMOS 5 HR imaging sensor. This Fujifilm X-H2 is a high-resolution crop-sensor camera featuring a groundbreaking 40MP BSI sensor and an arsenal of cutting-edge features packed into a small and durable X-series body. Add in an optimized pixel layout that promises exceptional detail, unrivaled color accuracy, and impressive video flexibility, these game-changing features are made possible only with X-Processor 5 which delivers lightning-fast performance to help X-H2 deliver 8K/30p video, enhanced autofocus capabilities, and black-out free image bursts at 15fps. Not to mention, it is also more efficient than its predecessor, boosting battery performance by 10%.

From being able to increase the focal length of any lens with the camera's 2x digital zoom, when recording up to 4K, to delivering incredible 4K video by downsampling from the camera's higher resolution, X-H2 offers a suite of video functions that make it perfect for every moviemaking occasion. Apple ProRes 10-bit 4:2:2 footage can be recorded internally at up to 8K/30p using a CFexpress Type B card, while 12-bit Apple ProRes or Blackmagic RAW footage can be recorded to compatible external devices via the full-size HDMI Type-A port on the side of the camera. Plus, when recording video using the F-Log2 color profile, this digital camera's dynamic range extends to 13+ stops a one-stop improvement over the previous sensor, enhancing post-production flexibility. It can also record continuously for up to 160 minutes at 25C (77F) and can be extended to 240 minutes with the optional X-H2 cooling fan.

More details:

• BSI High-resolution 40MP sensor - The number of pixels has been increased by approximately 1.5 times compared to the previous model, enabling high-resolution sensors to capture 8K video images in addition to 40.2MP still images.
• X-Processor 5 - Partner to the newly designed sensor is a fresh engine—the X-Processor 5—which uses 64-bit processing to realize 3x faster speeds for both video and photo tasks compared to the X-T4. On the video side, this enables recording at bit rates of up to 720 mb/s. At the end of the still, this quick processing means faster shooting to suit photographing moving subjects. When working with an electronic shutter, shooting at up to 20 fps is possible, with a buffer of 202 consecutive uncompressed raw frames. With the mechanical shutter, shooting speeds of up to 15 fps are possible, along with the ability to shoot upwards of 1000 raw frames in a single burst.
• 4K 60p and 8K 30p Internal Recording - Despite its focus on photography, the X-H2 has an impressive video system capable of 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording in 8K at 30fps and in both DCI/UHD 4K at up to 60 fps and Full HD at up to 240p. A variety of codecs are supported as well, including H.265 and three tiers of ProRes: the high bitrate 422 HQ, the standard 422, and the more compressed 422 LT. Also, continuous recording times of up to 160 minutes are possible at all frame rates and resolutions and can be extended to 240 minutes with the external clip-on fan.
• External Raw Recording - Using the full-size HDMI port, 12-bit raw video recording is possible when paired with a compatible external recorder. Both ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW recording is possible, along with the ability to work with F-Log or F-Log 2 profiles, and either format supports working in resolutions up to the open-gate 8K.
• Hybrid AF with Deep Learning AI - Benefitting from the improved processing, autofocus performance is noticeably faster and more intelligent. This hybrid focusing system uses 425 phase-detection points and is now sensitive down to -7 EV for working in truly low-light conditions. Also, backed by deep learning, an AI adaptive algorithm means this focusing system is better suited to automatically detect and track a variety of subject types.
• Pixel Shift Multishot - Pixel Shift Multishot takes multiple exposures in rapid succession, each one precisely shifting the image sensor by half a pixel, capturing the subject on a different part of the image sensor each time and yielding a single 160-Megapixel image with the help of the Pixel Shift Combiner software.
• In-Body Image Stabilization - Built-in 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 7 stops. This system works in conjunction with most X Series lenses, including non-stabilized ones, and benefits working with slower shutter speeds and when shooting in difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, digital image stabilization can also be used during video recording to further aid in steadying footage, especially when recording handheld.
• Film Simulation Modes - Film Simulation modes allow you to reproduce the look and feel of several of FUJIFILM's film types, including Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg., Nostalgic Neg., Pro Neg. Hi, Pro Neg. Standard, Eterna, Eterna Bleach Bypass, Acros, Monochrome, and Sepia. Additionally, Grain Effect can be adjusted as well as the Color Chrome effect to fine-tune the look of the imagery.

What’s the difference between Fujifilm X-H2 & X-H2S?

Fundamentally, both cameras are hybrid cameras designed for those that need high-performance video as well as great stills shooting. Perhaps, the easy way to distinguish them is Fujifilm X-H2S is for speed and Fujifilm X-H2 is designed for resolution. 

The Fujifilm X-H2S Mirrorless Camera can shoot Raw and JPEG images at up to 40 frames per second using its electronic shutter and has a buffer sufficient for >1000 images if you're shooting 30 JPEGs per second or when shooting 20 Raws per second, while Fujifilm X-H2 can shoot at up to 15 frames per second in mechanical shutter mode only. Plus, the X-H2 can deliver exposure durations as short as 1/180,000 sec in its electronic shutter mode, whereas the X-H2S tops out at 1/32,000 sec.

In terms of resolution, the X-H2 features a groundbreaking 40MP BSI sensor and up to 8K video while the X-H2S shoots up to 40fps and 4K video at up to 120p from a sensor with fast readout.

Focus tracking is slow for small children moving around.

The AUTO focus mode, such as the Fujifilm X-H2S, is a function specialized for the simple shooting of subjects with little movement. Therefore, set the mode dial to "P: Program AE" so that continuous AF for fast-moving moving object tracking can be used, and set as follows so that tracking operation with continuous AF can be performed. 

The setting method is as follows:

• Set the mode dial to "P".
• MENU/OK button > AF/MF SETTING 1/3 page.

• Set FOCUS MODE to AF-C.
• Set AF MODE to WIDE/TRACKING.
• Set PRE-AF to ON.
• AF/MF SETTING 2/3 page. Set FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING to ON.

How to remove the eyecup?

The Fujifilm X-H2 eyecup is unlocked by pinching both ends, making them easier to pull out.

For earlier models, hold the camera body firmly and slide your fingers upward on both sides of the eyecup to remove it. If it does not come off, slide it alternately left and right.

Is Fujifilm X-H2 compatible with INSTAX Printers?

Yes, INSTAX Printers are compatible with the Fujifilm X-H2.

What kind of USB cable is compatible with Fujifilm X-H2?

The Fujifilm X-H2 is compatible with the Type-C USB 3.2 Gen2x1 connector type.

Is Fujifilm X-H2 equipped with F-Log or both F-Log & F-Log2?

The Fujifilm X-H2 is equipped with both F-Log & F-Log2.

Have the face detection and eye AF functions been improved?

Until now, it has been difficult to detect people wearing glasses, sunglasses, masks, or with their bangs covering their faces. With the following target products, a new algorithm developed using deep learning technology has made it possible to detect the faces of people wearing glasses, sunglasses, masks, and people with bangs, which were previously undetectable.

• Face Detection/Eye AF detects faces and eyes that are close to the focus area.
• If there are multiple subjects within the focus area, the face/eyes closest to the center of the focus area is detected and selected.
• When a face/eye is detected, a white frame is displayed over the face/eye.
• When the LCD (liquid crystal monitor) touch operation is set to "select area", you can change the face to focus on by touching the screen.
• Also, when the AF mode is wide, you can change the face in focus by operating the focus lever.
