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

Both cameras are hybrids catering to those seeking high-performance video and stills. To differentiate, X-H2S emphasizes speed, while X-H2 prioritizes resolution.

The Fujifilm X-H2S Mirrorless Camera achieves up to 40fps in Raw and JPEG with a buffer for >1000 images at 30 JPEGs per second or 20 Raws per second using the electronic shutter. In contrast, the Fujifilm X-H2 reaches a maximum of 15fps in mechanical shutter mode. Additionally, the X-H2 offers exposure durations as short as 1/180,000 sec in electronic shutter mode, while the X-H2S goes up to 1/32,000 sec.

In terms of resolution, the Fujifilm X-H2 features a groundbreaking 40MP BSI sensor and up to 8K video while the Fujifilm 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

AUTO focus mode, as in the Fujifilm X-H2S, is designed for still subjects. To enable continuous AF for tracking fast-moving objects, switch the mode dial to "P: Program AE" and configure the settings as follows for effective tracking with continuous AF.

The setting method is as follows:

1. Set the mode dial to "P".
2. 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.

What kind of USB cable is compatible with Fujifilm X-H2S?

The Fujifilm X-H2S is compatible with the Type-C USB 3.2 Gen2x1 connector type.

Is Fujifilm X-H2S compatible with INSTAX Printers?

Yes, INSTAX Printers are compatible with the Fujifilm X-H2S. 

The focus is not on an eye in a recorded image although the EYE DETECTION AF was used

With AF-C and Eye AF active, the camera continuously tracks the subject's eyes even when you press the shutter halfway. In AF-S mode with Eye AF, focus locks when you press halfway, so if the subject moves afterward, the focus won't adjust. To avoid this, consider using AF-C or continuous AF for shooting.

How to remove the eyecup?

The Fujifilm X-H2S 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-H2S equipped with F-Log or both F-Log & F-Log2?

The Fujifilm X-H2S is equipped with both F-Log & F-Log2.

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 X-H2S is for speed and 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 Fujifilm X-H2 features a groundbreaking 40MP BSI sensor and up to 8K video while the Fujifilm 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:

1. Set the mode dial to "P".
2. 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.

What kind of USB cable is compatible with Fujifilm X-H2S?

The Fujifilm X-H2S is compatible with the Type-C USB 3.2 Gen2x1 connector type.

Is Fujifilm X-H2S compatible with INSTAX Printers?

Yes, INSTAX Printers are compatible with the Fujifilm X-H2S. 

The focus is not on an eye in a recorded image although the EYE DETECTION AF was used.

The camera will keep tracking the person’s eyes even when the shutter is pressed halfway while shooting with AF-C and eye AF function on. When shooting with AF-S with the Eye AF function turned on, the focus lock is activated when the shutter is pressed halfway, so if a person moves as shown below after pressing halfway down, AF will not follow even if the shutter is pressed all the way so the focus will be shifted as shown below. Therefore, please try and shoot with AF-C or continuous AF.

The Fujifilm X-H2S 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.
