main product features
1. Equipped with the new X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and high-speed X-Processor 5, it can be presented The peak image quality in the history of X series
(1) X-H2 is equipped New back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor. The high-resolution 40.2 megapixel sensor improves image processing algorithms, which can improve image resolution without affecting the signal-to-noise ratio, thus presenting amazing image quality. It also has an improved pixel structure that effectively captures more light, making the ISO125 the standard sensitivity rather than an expansion option. This is especially suitable for outdoor shooting during the day or to create bokeh effects with a large aperture.
(2) The adoption of the new sensor and its high-precision exposure time control have increased the fastest speed of the electronic shutter by 2.5 gears, from the previous 1/32,000 second to 1/180,000 second. This allows users to keep their aperture open in sunny environments (such as sunny beaches or ski slopes) to capture instant motion.
(3) This is the first model in the X series with pixel displacement shooting function. This camera uses an IBIS five-axis anti-shake design to perform automatic shooting with a high-precision moving image sensor, which can record 20 frames through a single shutter. In conjunction with Fuji's special software "Pixel Displacement Synthesis" free software, the captured frames will be processed and generated images containing about 160 million pixels, which is very suitable for commercial photography and digital archiving.
(4) X-H2 supports HEIF image format, which can present 10 bit image quality, but its size is 30% smaller than standard JPEG files. It is another proof of the image output of high-quality cameras in Fujifilm.
2. Excellent video performance, meeting the needs of professional video production
(1) With the adoption of new sensors, 8K videos can be recorded internally through 30P 4:2:2 10bit colors. The X-H2 has the same cooling design as the X-H2S, and can shoot up to about 160 minutes*6 8K/30P video, which makes 8K video a practical option.Additionally, it supports the 8K supersampling required to generate high-quality 4K video, maximizing the use of high-resolution sensors to capture video at excellent image resolution.
(2) X-H2 supports three Apple ProRes encoders ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 and ProRes 422 LT. When recording ProRes, X-H2 also supports proxy recording, such as ProRes 422 Proxy. *7. This reduces the editing workload of 8K videos and simplifies the entire workflow from shooting to post-production.
(3) X-H2 has digital zoom function*8 and is equipped with a 40.2 megapixel sensor. When recording 4K video, even if the camera is equipped with a fixed-focus lens, it can provide up to 2x digital zoom, with almost no resolution. loss. When paired with the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR, you can get twice the zoom range and seamlessly switch to the digital zoom function when the lens reaches its maximum focal length.
(4) After using with compatible Atomos or Blackmagic Design HDMI devices, the 12-bit RAW video output of X-H2 can be recorded with at resolutions up to 8K and frame rate of 29.97 frames per second Apple Pr oRes or Blackmagic RAW.
(5) In addition to F-Log, X-H2 also supports F-Log2, which can complete shooting in 13+ levels of dynamic range. *This range is better than the current F-Log, improving post-production possibilities.
*6 Cold-start shooting in 25℃ environment, automatic shutdown temperature is set to "High", H.265 4:2:0, bit rate is 200Mbps, equipped with VG-XH energy-enhancing vertical tap handle, equipped with three A battery. The shooting duration depends on the remaining power and the type and capacity of the memory card used. When the temperature of the main component increases, shooting may be automatically terminated.
*7 *Proxy is not suitable for 8K/30P and 8K/25P shooting.
*8 *Provided in three modes: 4K HQ, 4K DCI HQ and FHD
3. Improved autofocus performance to accurately capture details
(1) X-Processor 5 uses AI intelligent object detection based on deep learning technology AF, can be automatically Detect and track a variety of subjects, including animals, birds, vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, planes and trains, as well as faces and eyes, allowing the photographer to focus on creation, while tracking focus is completed on X-H2 .
(2) The new high-resolution sensor has more phase detection pixels than the current model, improving the ability to achieve AF-S focus on high-frequency subjects. In scenes such as landscape and portrait photography, where AF-S is usually used, users can easily and accurately complete autofocus. X-H2 also uses an improved AF prediction algorithm newly developed for X-H2S, which enables stable focus even when using AF-C.
(3) X-H2 is newly equipped with a focus instrument as a manual focus assist during video shooting, allowing for more precise focus adjustment. It can also be used in conjunction with peak focus .
(4) Shoot 8K videos that require high-precision focus. The video autofocus algorithm has been optimized to improve the autofocus accuracy, allowing users to use the autofocus function more securely when shooting 8K videos.
