Fujifilm GFX100RF: Viewfinder Switch is Still there, and Here is How it Works

Share

We know it…and you have seen it: the Fujifilm GFX100RF has an electronic viewfinder only.

And we also know (and you have seen it here and here) it comes with a bunch of all new dials and levers already.

Considering all this, you might think the viewfinder switch we can find on the Fujifilm X100 line and X-Pro line are gone, as on those cameras it switches between the various viewfinder modes.

But as we could see on the leaked images, the viewfinder lever is still there.

So here is how it works on the GFX100RF: moving the lever to one side switches between display modes (LCD, LCD+EVF etc) and moving it to the other side changes how crops are displayed in-camera. There will be three options: black out the area outside the crop, darken the area outside the crop or display a white border to indicate where the crop is.

Of course, to change the crop itself you’ll have a dedicated toggle lever placed below the shutter button and command dial – see here.

A dedicated aspect ratio dial, a dedicated crop toggle, a dedicated shutter dial, a dedicated ISO dial, a dedicated aperture ring on the lens, a dedicated crop mode switch…

Guys, the Fujifilm GFX100RF is manual control heaven. ;)

Message to Readers 1: I know you don’t like these posts. But I have no other way to hope to get this message out to the anonymous source (with nickname), other than making a public post.

Message to source

Thanks for giving yourself a nickname. This helps me a lot.

Just as an additional option: if you want the same benefit of being 100% anonymous, but at the same time also be able to interact with me, we have the option of chatting via Signal. I just wanted to let you know about this possibility, but of course it is also totally fine if you keep using the rumor box with your nickname.

Also, thanks for the feedback on the GFX100RF. I don’t know what I am allowed to share of it (and what not). If you want, you can include that info in future messages. If no indication is given, then I’ll just assume that everything can go online. And if you decide to go for Signal, we can directly chat and decide together on how to handle certain information.

With that said, thanks a lot for helping me out with the rumors (now and in the past).

How to Signal…

If anyone wants to get in touch with me using Signal

Signal can be downloaded on your Phone, but you can use it also on your desktop (it’s required that you have the App installed on your phone already). You can download Signal for Desktop here.

While you need your phone number to register, Signal doesn’t share it with me or anyone else. You can create a random nickname to contact me.

Fujifilm GFX100RF vs X-Pro3 vs X100VI Additional Size Comparisons

Share

FR-reader Matt estimated the size of the Fujifilm GFX100RF by aligning the width of the hotshot as seen in this image.

In our previous coverage of his comparison he “only” compared the size on paper.

Now he made also a visual comparison and he recalculated the size of the Fujifilm GFX100RF. So here is an update:

Below you can see the comparisons based on this data.

Fujifilm X Summit March 20 at 5AM New York Time (11AM Berlin Time)

Share

Ok, I noticed a bit of confusion after the X Summit announced on March 20 in Las Vegas at 10:30 AM here.

So let me clarify.

The “true” X Summit will take place in Prague (and live streamed on FujiRumors.com) on:

  • March 20 at 5 AM New York time
  • March 20 at 11 AM Berlin time

That’s when the Fujifilm GFX100RF will be officially announced.

The X Summit in Las Vegas is kind of a follow-up event for the Fujifilm GFX100RF launch. But at the time that Summit starts, we will know everything already about the Fujifilm GFX100RF.
