It is a camera comes with a resolution of 102MP (twice the GFX 50R | Fujifilm GFX 50R), the highest ever recorded on a mirrorless camera, capable of offering an IBIS stabilizer internal five-axis up to 5.5 stops, 4k @ 30p video recording and advanced features such as – for example – phase detection. With regards to this last aspect, GFX 100 is the first in its category to be equipped with a backlit sensor with phase detection pixels: the result is autofocus that is twice as fast as the previous generation.

The Fujifilm GFX100 features a 102MP CMOS imaging sensor with X-Processor 4 processing engine.

With 3.76 million phase detection pixels, at approximately 100% coverage, near perfect auto-focus performance with speed and accuracy is now a reality for photographers needing an optimum performance in subject tracking, face/eye detection, and low-contrast environments. The effect is particularly notable when using fast prime lenses, achieving speed improvement of up to 210% over the conventional contrast AF system used in GFX 50R.

In-body 5-axis image stabilization reduces shake by up to 5.5 stops according to Fujifilm, and the entire sensor is mounted on springs to reduce shutter shock. It is the first mirrorless with a sensor greater than 35mm to be able to record 4K @ 30p video, even with the standard digital cinema format 17:9. For the rendering, the data oversampling equivalent to approximately 50.5MP is exploited, and the H.265 / HEVC, F-Log, and Hybrid Log Gamma codecs are supported for HDR movie recording. Lastly, the Eternal Cinematographic Film Simulation mode is not missing.

The viewfinder can be adjusted to various angles (with the optional adapter) and has a 5.76MP OLED panel with 0.86x magnification. It is obviously customizable and can be set to Frame Rate Priority, Resolution Priority, and AF Speed ​​Priority.
