Trade Information: Fujifilm Introduces the flagship X-H2S | Canon Rumors

Press Launch:

Valhalla, N.Y., Might 31, 2022 – FUJIFILM North America Company at present introduced the launch of its subsequent flagship X Sequence mirrorless digital digicam, FUJIFILM X-H2S (X- H2S). Probably the most superior X Sequence mirrorless digicam but, X-H2S consists of superior options for each nonetheless pictures and video. It is usually the primary APS-C digital digicam of its variety to characteristic Fujifilm’s 26.16MP X-TransTM CMOS 5 HS imaging sensor, a stacked, back-side illuminated imaging sensor with a sign studying velocity as much as 4 occasions sooner than Fujifilm’s earlier X-TransTM CMOS 4*1.

X-TransTM CMOS 5, mixed with the newly minted X-Processor 5 (which doubles the digicam’s processing energy in comparison with X-Processor 4), significantly enhances total picture constancy at decrease ISOs and reduces noise at greater ISOs. Topic-detection AF, which maximizes the monitoring velocity and accuracy of transferring topics is now made attainable via the incorporation of an AI processor.

For video, X-Processor 5 allows the recording of 10-bit 4:2:2 video in resolutions as much as 6.2K/30P and body charges as quick as 4K/120P and FHD/240p. Help for skilled codecs, like Apple ProRes HQ/ Professional Res 422/ Professional Res LT, present unimaginable flexibility inside post-production workflows, whereas additionally minimizing energy consumption, thereby extending the digicam’s most video recording time as much as 240 minutes.

“The common response to X-H2S has been, ‘That is precisely what I’ve been ready for!’ The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response reinforces my perception that X-H2S would be the versatile, hybrid digital digicam that may meet the various wants of photographers and movement manufacturing professionals,” mentioned Victor Ha, vp, Digital Imaging and Optical Gadgets Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Company. “It’s enjoyable to see a lot enthusiasm for this digicam, particularly for the reason that options it has aren’t usually discovered at a worth level of solely $2499.95.”

With these sensor and processor updates, X-H2S achieves substantial efficiency enchancment over different digital digicam fashions in the marketplace, together with:

• Main increase to burst mode functionality: X-H2S can apply AF / AE monitoring in blackout-free steady capturing situations of as much as 40 frames per second*2, and might create over 1,000 frames constantly with the high-speed burst capturing mode set to 30 frames per second (JPEG) or 20 frames per second (RAW)*3

• Dramatically advanced autofocus (AF) efficiency: X-H2S’s excessive variety of AF calculations carried out per second improves total AF accuracy and facilitates subject-detection AF. Developed with Deep Studying expertise, subject-detection AF implements a sophisticated prediction algorithm to reinforce the efficiency of Zone AF, by refining the digicam’s capability to trace transferring topics in low-contrast environments. Topic detection and monitoring has additionally been expanded from the human face and eyes to now embody animals, birds, automobiles, bikes, bicycles, airplanes and trains. X-H2S retains focused topics persistently in focus, permitting customers to focus on framing and important image-making alternatives.

• Distinctive video efficiency: X-H2S digital digicam helps inner recording of 4:2:2, 10-bit Apple ProRes HQ/ ProRes 422/ ProRes LT and ProRes 422 Proxy at resolutions of as much as 6.2K/30P and 4:2:2, 10-bit h.265video in body charges as quick as 4K/120P and FHD/ 240p. The sensor’s readout velocity of 1/180 seconds when recording video additional assists in minimizing rolling shutter results on transferring topics, or when the digicam itself is transferring. A heat-dissipating design brings the 4K/60P steady video recording time to roughly 240 minutes, whereas the non-obligatory FAN-001 cooling fan accent assists with sustaining related ranges of efficiency in high-temperature situations.

• Important flexibility for exterior recording: X-H2S is the primary X Sequence digital digicam to include F-Log2, which gives a dynamic vary of as much as 14+ stops, permitting for extra artistic potentialities each in manufacturing and post-productionworkflows.

Further Product Options:

Finest topic monitoring in X Sequence historical past

• X-H2S controls phase-detection pixels independently from picture show when in burst mode. This triples the variety of calculations in part detection from the acclaimed FUJIFILM X-T4 and allows high-speed focusing even throughout high-speed steady capturing.

• X-H2S’s digital viewfinder makes use of a high-resolution, 5.76-million-dot panel with a magnification of 0.8x. With a body fee of roughly 120fps, the sleek viewfinder presents stellar visibility on account of robust suppression of parallax and distortion (which generally happens when an eye fixed place turns into displaced whereas utilizing the viewfinder), thereby enabling correct topic monitoring.

Considerate design to reinforce customers’ content material creation expertise

• The digicam options an all-new five-axis, in-body picture stabilization mechanism, which presents as much as 7.0-stops of picture stabilization*4. Customers can comfortably select to function the digicam handheld in lively environments (e.g., sports activities) or in low-light situations (e.g., nightscape).

• X-H2S incorporates the favored design options of Fujifilm’s earlier X-H1 mannequin, akin to a big grip that works effectively with giant lenses, an LCD show on the highest panel for customers to test settings at any time, and a highly-robust physique that withstands heavy skilled use. Many extra enhancements have additionally been included within the design and building of X-H2S:
  • The shutter button’s total really feel has been adjusted to enhance its operability when it’s half-pressed. This enables customers to launch the shutter precisely when meant.
  • A standalone video recording button has been added to make the expertise of recording video with the 1.62-million-dot, vari-angle LCD monitor a seamless expertise.
  • From the match and end of the buttons and supplies used within the building of X-H2S to with the ability to map particular features to the AF ON button, image-makers will discover the expertise of utilizing X-H2S intuitive and acquainted. Shutter sturdiness has been optimized, withstanding 500,000 actuations throughout high quality and efficiency testing.
  • The digicam options twin reminiscence card slots supporting one CFexpressTM Kind B and one SD card*5. Customers can draw out the complete potential of X-H2S’s quick, steady image-making and video efficiency with the high-speed information processing efficiency of CFexpressTM Kind B reminiscence playing cards.
