Fujifilm GFX100RF Aspect Ratio Dial Placement

The Fujifilm GFX100RF will introduce a couple of new manual control options.

One of them is a dedicated aspect ratio dial.

In our original rumor we said it would be placed “on the back of the camera“.

Many fellow FR-reader wondered how that would exactly be implemented.

Well, I will try to answer your question as good as I can in this rumor.

But a disclaimer first: since I have not seen the camera, all I can do is to try to give you a rough indication on what to expect based on feedback from sources.

Hence, below you can see a quick and rough rendering I made based on what I hear from sources.

But again, this is far from being 100% accurate, and yet it should give you an pretty good idea on what to expect.

Fujifilm GFX100RF “The Enemy of Art is the Absence of Limitations” – Opinion Piece

Scott has written an article where he reasons about the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF based on the rumors we have shared.

Besides sharing some wonderful images, the article also explores the creative challenges and overall potential of the Fujifilm GFX100RF, emphasizing how limitations, such as a single focal length, can sharpen creative instincts and lead to more intentional, expressive work. The piece suggests that embracing constraints in equipment can enhance artistic vision and freedom.

And he quotes Orson Welles, who said: “The enemy of art is the absence of limitations”

I thought it might be interesting to share this as a way to shift focus from the technical rumors and specifications and instead highlight what a camera like the GFX100RF can bring to our photography through its fixed-lens concept. This aspect might actually be the most significant feature of this camera, even if it doesn’t appear on any spec sheet. After all, an inspirational boost can do more for the growth of our photography than a megapixel boost.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Will NOT Have a Hybrid Viewfinder

We often refer to the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF as the bigger brother of the Fujifilm X100VI.

But there will be one crucial difference: according to our trusted sources (THANKS!), the Fujifilm GFX100RF will not have a hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder, but “only” an electronic viewfinder.

I guess this choice was necessary not only to contain the price (the hybrid viewfinder is an expensive part of the camera), but also to contain its size, because FujiRumors readers know that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will be “about as big” as the Fujifilm X-Pro3.

But for stuff that goes, other (and quite intriguing one) makes his debut on this camera, as we reported here.

Fujifilm GFX100RF: Crop Zoom Lever Additional Information

We recently reported that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will have a “crop zoom lever” under the shutter button.

At that time when I received the rumor, I did not exactly know what “under” means, so I did a random GFX100RF rendering with a huge lever integrated in the shutter button mechanism.

But thanks to sources (THANKS!!), we can now be more specific about it.

The crop zoom lever sits below the shutter button and below the command dial (and is not an integrated part of the shutter as my mock-up showed).

So you have the classic shutter button with ON/OFF switch, under that the command dial, and under that the Crop lever.

I hope this clarifies the location of the lever and I apologize if my random rendering created a misunderstanding. But just as you, I have no clue how this camera looks like and I am putting puzzle pieces together along with you.

Thanks again to sources!

The Fujifilm GFX100RF Revives Retro with Bold New Features

They told you Fujifilm lost its soul.

They told you Fujifilm bend to the will of mass market and focused on making cameras with PSAM dials.

They told you they were neglecting or even giving up on manual controls.

And then comes the Fujifilm GFX100RF, which ends all this.

Why?

Because not only it will very likely not have a PSAM dial (speculation, not rumor), but it will come with more manual controls than ever:

So you see: not only Fujifilm did not give up on retro and manual controls, but they are actively looking into solution to implement even more manual controls than ever before on their cameras.

And remember, there is also the Fujfilm X-E5 coming in summer 2025, which is definitely not a PSAM mainstream mass-market camera a la Sony, Canon or Nikon.

Dear Retro and Manual Control Lovers: there is a lot to look forward for us in 2025 ;).

And there is also the X-Pro line, which will continue for sure, and even more niche products like the Fujifilm TX-3 digital panorama camera.

Tell me another brand that goes so radical with retro, manual controls and niche products like Fujifilm.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming with New Crop Zoom Lever under Shutter Button

The Fujifilm GFX100RF is coming with more ergonomic novelties than we could have expected.

Not only it will feature a dedicated aspect ratio dial on the back of the camera, but our sources have told us that it will also have a “crop zoom lever” placed under the shutter button.

I don’t know you, but with these kind of rumors really get me excited. The more tactile controls it gets, the better it is.

Stay tuned for more rumors.

INTRIGUING: Fujifilm GFX100RF Rumored to Feature Unique Aspect Ratio Dial

The fixed-lens Fujifilm GFX is on its way, and it looks like it will introduce a fresh innovation to the Fujifilm X/GFX series that’s bound to catch the attention of manual control enthusiasts like me.

According to new information from my sources the Fujifilm GFX100RF will feature a new dedicated aspect ratio dial on the back of the camera.

Of course it is too early to judge this new feature/dial. We haven’t seen or used it yet. However, for those who appreciate a tactile experience with as many manual controls as possible, this addition has the potential to be quite intriguing.

But for now I suspend my judgment, even though you can call me intrigued by it.

Fujifilm FF240004 ​​​Camera Registration Spotted – Fujifilm GFX100RF?

Fujifilm has just registered a camera with the codename FF240004. It features Tri-band WiFi as spotted by the Chinese Weibo account EM8.

As you can read here, so far we have at least four cameras scheduled for release in 2025:

But there might be even more in the pipeline. Maybe even some I could not see coming, just as it was the case of the Fujifilm GFX Eterna.

My best guess so far is that it could be the Fujifilm GFX100RF fixed lens camera or the Fujifilm GFX Eterna. But that’s just a guess. And in fact it does not really matter which codename which camera has. There will always be a codename because there will always be a camera coming.

Here are the top 10 articles for November. Interestingly, the rumor about the Ricoh GR IV and GR IV M is by far the most read article, which proves my point even further: we need a monochrome Fujifilm as soon as possible and we need a Fujifilm X70 successor.

BREAKING: Fujifilm GFX100RF First Specs: No IBIS, GF35mmF4 Lens and Coming March 2025

As we told you yesterday, an anonymous source contacted us with the details about the upcoming fixed lens Fujifilm GFX camera.

First off: THANKS for the help!!! And second: it’s all very accurate according to my trusted sources, except for one thing (and at this point you know what). If you want, we can chat 100% anonymously via Signal to talk about it.

So these are the first specs of the Fujifilm GFX RF.

  • Name: Fujifilm GFX100RF
  • 100 Megapixel
  • No IBIS
  • GF35mmF4 Lens
  • Coming March 2025 (it’s unclear if this is the date for the announcement of for the shipping… or maybe even both? I will let you know if I figure that out).

No IBIS makes sense, considering that it will be very compact for a medium format camera. In fact, we told you it will be “about the size of the Fujifilm X-Pro3“.

Also 35mm was to expect, as we always told you it will be a 28mm equivalent lens (hence 35mm on GFX). We also told you it will be an f/3.2 lens, but we were not sure if it was f/3.2 on GFX or f/3.2 Full Frame equivalent. Well, we can now say it will be f/3.2 FF DOF equivalent (hence f/4 of GFX)
