New Fujifilm GFX100RF Teaser Shows Aspect Ratio Dial in Action

Fujifilm has just published another teaser for the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF.

This time they show us the aspect ratio dial in action.

The aspect ratios we can see are: 17:6, 65:24, 16:9 and 3:2.

But we know from the full leaked GFX100RF press release, that the dial will give access to a total of nine different aspect ratios, including the 1:1 ratio not seen in this video.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Pre-Orders at Italian Store (Now Removed) plus MESSAGE to Anonymous Sources with Nickname

Message to Anonymous Sources with Nickname

In the last few days I have received a few messages from two anonymous sources with nickname, who shared correct rumors in the past.

I have no way to reach out to sources, so I do it via FujiRumors.

I wanted to let sources know:

  • thanks a lot!
  • some will go online shortly
  • some I have to double check
  • one info is not correct to my knowledge, but I will make my checks

I am sorry I can’t be more specific here on FujiRumors.

For me it is OK to get info via rumor box and make these kind of messages on FujiRumors. For me it is important you know I read your rumors and I work on them. Thanks a lot!

I just remind sources that if they want to have a direct chat with me in which I can be more specific in sharing and comparing rumors before they eventually go online, we have the option to use Signal. If that sounds good to you, then:

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 nickname to contact me. All 100% anonymous.

GFX100RF

For a couple of days, Italian store otticazanichelli had its pre-order page for the Fujifilm GFX100RF on its website (the image shows the Fujifilm GFX50R though)..

The site has now been taken since a few days already. But here is what I could read on the page for as long as it was online:

To be clear: everything is a rumor until is not officially announced. And as such, no matter how strongly FujiRumors claims it does not have IBIS, nothing is 100% confirmed until it is announced.

But according to information we have received, it has no IBIS. And if we look at the leaked image, it has no OIS either.

So you’ll have to crank up ISO and shoot at faster shutter speeds if you want to freeze camera motion (because IBIS can only counteract movements of the camera itself but not subject movements like people or leaves). And luckily the ISO performance on GFX is unparalleled.

With that said, there are times when keeping the ISO low is important, especially to maximize the camera’s dynamic range (hence use it at base ISO) or counteracting camera motion when photographing completely still subjects. In these cases, IBIS (or a tripod) can be helpful tools.

New Fujifilm GFX100RF Teaser Launched: Shows X100VI and GFX Fusion

Fujifilm has just released yet another teaser showing a heavily underexposed camera.

But this time it comes with a hint: they show an Fujifilm X100VI first, then a Fujifilm GFX100SII, and ultimately the silhouette of e new camera.

That’s so far the best hint we got that our rumors were right: a medium format X100 is on the way, and it will be called Fujifilm GFX100RF.

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

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. ;)
