Fujifilm X-H2S Mirrorless Camera Body Black in More Detail

Unparalleled image quality from Stacked BSI Sensor with X-Processor 5

The Fujifilm X-H2S is the first X Series camera to feature the latest 26.1-megapixel X-Trans 5 stacked back-illuminated sensor. Fujifilm’s X-Trans colour filter array minimises moiré and false colours, and Fuji employs unique technology which places the sensor’s circuitry on a separate layer from the pixels. This enables the X-H2S to deliver outstanding image quality and impressive low light capabilities with up to 14-stops of dynamic range.

The new high-speed X-Processor 5 offers lightning-fast performance for even the very most demanding shooting situations and elevates the X-H2S to the next level. The processor is capable of handling huge amounts of data resulting in performance enhancements for both video and stills processing.

Photographers and videographers will appreciate the bright, clear 5.76 million dot resolution EVF, alongside advanced intelligent autofocus functionality, which is 3x faster than the previous flagship Fujifilm X-T4 camera.

Powerful video capabilities with unlimited creative potential

Powerful video capabilities in the Fuji X-H2S ensure it will become a firm favourite for hybrid shooters as well as dedicated video professionals. Footage can be recorded internally for up to 240 minutes in a wide range of resolutions and frame rates up to 6.2K/30P using the full-sensor 3:2 aspect ratio. You can also capture high-speed 4K/120P and Full HD/240P for beautiful slow motion effects.

These provide unparalleled flexibility and the best ever video capabilities of any camera in the X Series line-up. You also get the ability to record 10-bit 4:2:2 Apple ProRes video internally to a CFexpress Type B memory card for post-production flexibility when colour grading, while the X-Trans 5 sensor’s 14-stop dynamic range optimises a high level of detail across a uniquely wide exposure range.

New Deep Learning AI subject detection

The autofocusing system in X-H2S is both quick and extremely advanced with superb autofocus performance. You can focus in extremely dark situations down to -7EV and also keep up with fast and erratically moving subjects.

The flagship mirrorless camera introduces Subject Detection autofocus, which utilises AI to deliver unmatched autofocus performance, broadening the range of identifiable subjects to further enhance focusing accuracy over previous AF generations. The new system has the ability to recognise and track vehicles, including cars, planes, trains, motorcyclists, and animals with birds, horses, dogs, cats and even more. Human AF has been expanded to recognise face and eye detection from hairlines, when wearing glasses and face coverings.

Unmatched performance to capture every moment

The X-H2S delivers powerful performance for any level of photographer or filmmaker, from enthusiast to professional content creator. Shoot in high-speed continuous mode at 15 frames-per-second (fps) with mechanical shutter and up to 40fps in electronic shutter mode.

When shooting with mechanical shutter a high-capacity buffer allows 1000+ JPEG and RAW files to be written to a high-speed memory card for unlimited performance.

Creative possibilities are endless with the camera’s in-body image stabilisation system, offering up to 7-stops of shake reduction for true versatility when handholding.

Record ProRes RAW and Black Magic RAW through external recordering

For RAW capabilities simply add an external recorder to build own impressive internal video recording capabilities. Harness F-Log or F-Log 2, and industry standard Apple ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW, which can all be recorded to an external device through the camera’s full size Type A HDMI port. Unlock the full capability of X-H2S’s unmatched image quality by recording F-Log or F-Log2 in resolutions of up to 6.2K in Apple ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW with Atomos Ninja V+ and Blackmagic Video Assist 5” or Video Assist 7”.
