When focusing manually, a new Focus Map function overlays a series of squares on the scene. The colours of these squares change depending on whether the area is in focus or not, to give a more obvious representation of sharpness that’s an alternative to peaking. Another benefit is the IBIS, which will aid stills and video shooters. For stills, there’s up to eight stops of shake correction, while for video, an IS Boost option delivers footage that comes close to the look from a tripod or gimbal. Combined with the camera’s size and form factor, which makes it easy to use on a small rig, this delivers the ultimate in high-quality handheld filmmaking. As the body weighs just over 1kg with battery, card and detachable 9.44m-dot EVF on board, this could be the ultimate lightweight set-up, delivering image quality not available any other way. And for hybrid shooters, the GFX100 II is also a fabulously high-quality stills camera, so you can shoot poster campaigns and movies with the same camera and lenses. For professional filmmakers and hybrid shooters, that makes this a truly unique buy that can take your work to an even higher level.

There’s a wide range of baked-in Film Simulation modes available for great footage straight out of camera. For greater flexibility in post, F-Log shooting mode is now joined by F-Log2. This provides an incredible 14+ stops of dynamic range when the D Range Priority mode is selected. Colour out of the camera is easy to grade and cuts well with footage from other camera systems. The GFX100 II also features IDT for integration into an ACES workflow. For the most modern of workflow solutions and collaboration, GFX100 II is the first Fujifilm camera to offer native integration with Frame.io Camera to Cloud technology. Connecting the camera wirelessly or via Ethernet cable allows footage to be uploaded to Frame.io in real time, ready for viewing or editing remotely. And while many filmmakers may want to stick to traditional workflows and even all-manual cinema lenses, the GFX100 II opens up new opportunities to use the latest technology. Combined with sublime FUJIFILM GF Lenses, for example, users will have seamless use of the very latest autofocus, which takes advantage of the improved tracking AF function to keep subjects in focus. Simply select the subject in the frame via the 3.2-inch, three-way tilting touchscreen, and with AF-C and Wide/Tracking AF mode selected, the camera stays locked on. This is ideal for run-and-gun set-ups, or for tracking any fast-moving subjects that even an experienced focus puller would struggle to keep up with.
