Welcome back to the Fujiguys my name is Francis
today we're going to take a look
at the brand new GFX50s
and its top features so if you want to know more
about this camera keep on watching
the GFX50s features a G formats sensor
which is 43.8 by 32.9 millimeters
so if you want to take a look
it's quite huge
this allows you to shoot
in different aspect ratio so if we take
a look into the menu and we go to image size
so you can see throughout all the
different aspect ratio you still retain
a lot of resolution so if we look at
4:3 which is native
you keep obviously the 51 megapixels
but if you go down to 3:2 your standard a APS-C
or full-frame ratio
you have 45 megapixels
16:9 movie sort of framing
you have 38 megapixels
1:1 square format you have 38 megapixels
and a really nice
panoramic which lets you take a panorama
shot straight up no panning no nothing
just straight-up panoramic and you still
have 25 megapixel which is
still more than your X-T2 or your standard
APS-C full-frame camera
so that's really a great advantage of this camera
the GFX50s features a super powerful
EVF it is a 0.85x magnification
and just to put that in perspective
the X-T2 is a 0.77
and it's already pretty big so you have
a gigantic view of what you're shooting
you have 3.36 million dots so really high-resolution
a refresh rate of 54 frames per second
approximately and this is a limitation
of the sensor because the EVF itself
can go up to a 100FPS
it's also detachable so you can remove it
like this and we'll talk about the accessories
later but you can put the tilt adapter
in between and you also have a diopter adjustment here
so everybody has a different vision
so you can adjust it right here you go
just like a lot of our new cameras
the GFX features the joystick in the back
to control your focus point so it's pretty easy to use
if you press it for a couple seconds
you have your focus lever setting
so you have three different settings
if you choose the first one
which is ON it is always working
so as soon as you touch it
you can move your focus point around
the second mode is ''Pushed To Unlock''
so if I just touch it
nothing's happening so I can't
accidentally change my focus point
I actually have to press it to move it around
and if you just press once on the joystick
it brings back to focus points to the center
now lastly the last option
is going to be OFF so whatever you doing
your focus point is never going to
change if you touch the joystick on the back
so if you want to change your focus
area size of your focus point size
i'm sorry you just press once on the joystick
and then you just rotate the rear
command dial and you can navigate
through the six different size of focus point
as you can see
there you go
the GFX now features a touch panel so
you have different operations you can do
with this touch panel so the first one
would be on the area so your focus point
you can drag it around or you can simply
press or tap to change your focus point
you can turn it OFF
you can actually focus
when you're shooting if you want to
display your histogram the RGB histogram
you can just swipe up then it will bring
up the histogram right now it's showing
not a lot but now there you go
if I swip up again I get my 3D level
you can also double tap on the focus point
to magnify and make sure you nailed your focus
now if I go into playback mode
I have different options again with
the touchscreen so if I go into playback mode
you can see I can swipe
swipe around see different images
I can double tap to zoom and move around
I can pinch to zoom out or zooming and then
if i'm doing then I can tap again then go back
to the full image
so for manual focusing you now have up to 16.7 times
magnification so you can really zoom in
and fine-tune your manual focus if you
either shooting macro shooting adapted
lenses on this camera again you can go
up to 16.7 times magnification you can
go to 8 times which is pixel to pixel
now to do that you simply have to
press once on the rear command dial and you
just rotate it to go through the
different stages of magnification
along with that you can use our manual focus aid
which is focus peaking
which is really nice you have different colors
different intensity so you really have
all the tools to work in manual focus
with our lenses or adapted lenses
the GFX50s features a dual card slot which are SD
UHS-II so you can use fast cards
and you'll have a fast reading and a fast writing too
now I'm going to show you a
quick tip a little shortcut to format
your card without going through the menu
so all you have to do is press the trash
button in the back for a few seconds
then press the rear command dial
if you are coming from a DSLR camera the GFX
can be really familiar
this is the camera that's really
customizable so if you want to use it
the way you were using your DSLR
you simply have to put the shutter speed to ''T''
your ISO to ''C'' and your aperture ring to ''C''
now I can control the whole camera
with the front and the rear
command dial so if I rotate the front one
now I can change the aperture
if I click once on it then I switched to ISO
and the rear command dial is going to be
your shutter speeds
so really
you have the option to use the physical dials
for shutter speed aperture ISO or
if you are more familiar with a DSLR like
type of operation you can have that with the GFX
now because we did that with
the command dials Fuji wants you to
always be able to see your settings just
by looking down to the camera so that's
why we did put the sub monitor here
which can be backlit so it's a memory
LCD type of display so it's not a lot of
its not power-hungry and it's fully
customizable so if I go into the menu
and go down to screen setup
and sub monitors setting you have still mode
and movie mode so if you are into
the movie mode then it will show you
information on the sub monitor that you customized
and if your on taking pictures
then it will show you different information
so if I want to go and customize the still mode
I just go in and as you can see I can
select the area of the sub monitor and
change whatever I want to put in it
so if I want to put the aperture on top and
then shutter speed second I can just have that
you see now if you look at the monitor is
still like this now if I go out the menu
you see it's switched
so you can change all these settings again if I go back
and I go down you have different
operations so up there the first four
is going to be your basic shooting settings
and then the down four is going to be
different things like photometry
drive mode, focus mode, your white balance
you can put anything
the battery level
so again you can switch them around so
if I click on battery level it's going to be
this on the left bottom left corner
and then you see it right there
the GFX features an electronic first curtain shutter
so basically when you have a mechanical shutter
you have the first curtain then second curtain
now the E-front curtain is actually the
first one is an electronic one and the
second one is a physical one
so you get no negative drawbacks from
using this so you can still use your
flash you don't get any rolling shutter
so there's really no drawback
from using the E-front curtain the only
time that would be is when you have a
shutter speed higher than
1/1000th sec and as you
probably know Fuji never really wants to
compromise on the image quality so once
you're up to 1/640 of a second
it automatically goes to a mechanical shutter
so there's really no negative by using the
E-Front curtain
so what you got to do to activate this mode
is basically going to the menu in the shooting menu
then you go to shutter type then you have your
mechanical shutter electronic shutter
electronic first curtain shutter so it
tells you right here when high-speed
shutters selected the shutters change to
mechanical so like I said when you hit
1/640th of a second then it goes
automatically to a mechanical shutter so
let's try to show you demonstrate this
so if I remove this
I'm E-front curtain now so
see
if I go higher
see the difference? so 1/1000 of a second
and 1/125th
so let's just quickly go through all the
different shutter types so you have the
mechanical shutter which would be from
60 minutes to 1/4000 of a second
you have the electronic shutter which will be
60 minutes to 1/16,000 of the second
you have the electronic front curtain so
what I said before so the first curtain
will be electronic and the second one
would be mechanical if you go higher
than 1/640 a second then it goes
automatically to mechanical
you have your mechanical plus the electronic so
from 60 minutes up to 1/4000 thousand will
go mechanical then if it needs to go
higher like 1/8000 of a second then
it will go electronical and the last one
you have the E-front curtain plus
electronic so basically it's going to be
from 60 minutes up to 1/640th of a second
is going to be mechanical with
the E-front curtain then when you go up
higher than 1/640th it's going to be
fully mechanical and if you go higher
than 1/4000 then it will be
electronical so it's basically the whole thing together
so when Fujifilm made this camera they
really wanted to make it fully customizable
so as usual in our X-Series cameras
we have customizable function buttons
and on the GFX the difference is
if we look up all the function buttons
have no labels on them so you can really
put whatever you want and really make it
up to your taste and this is going to be
your camera so really quickly
I just want to show you how you can access the
menu to assign functions to your buttons
and see where they are so if I press the
display back button for a few seconds
then I see this screen shows up and I
can go through all of them and then you
see on the little image there you see the
different buttons light up and green to
tell you what they are and then
I can go around
I have 10 different function buttons
that are customizable and the rear command dial
is also a function button so if I want
to change the function of it
I just go on and just press to the right and then
select the function I want so if I press
on let's say RAW for this one and then
I go there I press it and then you see
it's switching it enables the RAW or
disable it so you can really customize
this camera up to your taste and really
make it yours
so the GFX is able to do some tethering
shooting for studio you can use
Lightroom with the plug-in that's available
through Adobe's website or you
can use HS-5 which is one of our software
or you can actually get the free
software called X-Acquire which
basically dumps your images in a folder
in your computer and then you can set a
hot folder in Lightroom to import the images
as you go if you don't want to pay for the plug-in
the GFX is going to launch with a few accessories
and two of them are the battery grip and the tilt-adapter
the battery grip is a brilliant design
if you see right there if I rotate
the camera the lens is not moving
and at the same time i'm going to show you
the button layout is the same
so if I shoot vertically or horizontally
it's going to be the same the way my fingers
are moving it's going to be
exactly the same so really comfortable
you see your function buttons are right there
the joystick, commands dials
the ''Q'' button it's all there
if you look on the side here is gonna be your battery
now it's empty and
I can show you the grip
is working even
without a battery so that's kind of cool
you can also get the AC adapter which
would plug right here so you can shoot
while plugged in and you can also charge
your battery with the AC
adapter which is optional
now the tilt adapter which is really cool
you don't actually have multiple
viewfinder you only have one and
this tilt-adapter goes right in between the
EVF and the body
so you can now shoot
like this
or you can use it like this
which is really really cool
and when you have the tilt adapter you still have
your hotshoe on the EVF everything is still working
so again just to show you, this, rotate it
a very nice accessory for it
also there will be the HC adapter which
will let you adapt HC lenses on to the GFX
and use the leaf shutter
and there's also coming later on it's going to be a
4x5
view camera adapter so you'll be able to
put the GFX and mount it on the 4x5 camera
any standard for 4x5 back
it'll just go in and lock in
so there you have it
top feature of the Fujifilm GFX50s a wonderful, powerful
workhorse camera and I hope this was useful
