run-and-gun filming with a compact set- up. To push the camera evenmore, I tested it indoors and out, and tried lots of settings. It records up to 10-bit 4:2:0 400mbps H.265 footage internally and up to 17x9 DCI 4K 4096x2160 at 29.97p. The UHD 16x9 3840x2160mode actually uses more of the sensor area than the 4K DCI, so is less prone tomoire. It also has better image quality overall and is the video format Fujifilm recommend for best video performance. The GFX100S offers 50 and 59.94p at 2K DCI 2048x2160 and Full HD 1920x1080. The camera can also output 12-bit Raw at 4K/30p over HDMI, which the Atomos Ninja V (and newNinja V+) can encode into 12-bit Apple ProRes Raw. I used this for another project, The Heart Asunder . This filmwas shot as one continuous take, outside in natural daylight on a FujifilmGF80mm lens at f/2, ISO 800 recorded internally in 4K UHD sensor mode at 25fps. To bring down exposure, I used a Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra ND 1.8, as well as a Black Supermist filter to soften the skin. The FujifilmGF lenses are very sharp,

great colour, especially in F-Logmode. As a light-gathering guzzler with excellent dynamic range, the GFX100s worked great indoors, in high contrast and darker settings. I also did the ultimate test: measuring how it performs when the only light source is a candle. I shot at 3200, 6400 and 12,800 ISO at f/1.7 on the GF 80mm lens. At 3200 ISO, the footage is totally usable and very clean. It’s noisier at 6400 ISO, but not to the point where noise reduction would be inconvenient. At 12,800 ISO, the noise was muchmore visible, though, as you’d expect. But, overall, I was blown away by the image quality of the GFX100S, especially with its internal codec –which holds up, even in F-Log. This Fujifilm camera is something really special.

which is perfect for stills, but inmy opinion, toomuch for video without a diffusion filter. Fujifilmoffers a wide range of Fujinon GF lenses specifically designed for the GFX. Additionally, with the PLMount adapter, the Fujinon Premista Cine Zoom lenses can also be used, as they produce an image circle large enough to cover the GFX100S sensor in UHD 4K and DCI 4Kmodes. The huge GFX100S sensor performed amazingly in exterior and interior locations, handling natural light extremely well, with SMALL WONDER The Fujifilm GFX100S is incredibly compact, so handholding is a real option, especially with IBIS
