Offering the perfect mix of accessibility and flexibility, the GFX 50S II from FUJIFILM is a unique medium format mirrorless camera that is wonderfully compact and portable. Featuring a 51.4MP CMOS sensor paired with an improved X-Processor 4 image processor, this camera produces files with extremely wide dynamic range and high resolution, as well as having an extended sensitivity range of ISO 50-102400 for working in difficult lighting conditions. The sensor's large form factor also achieves a unique three-dimensional look with especially smooth tonal and color transitions.

The sensor's large form factor also achieves a unique three-dimensional look with especially smooth tonal and color transitions.
The GFX 50S II has also been updated with a five-axis in-body image stabilization system that negates up to 6.5 stops of camera shake for improved handheld shooting, providing dramatically broad creative possibilities for image makers wanting to work more freely with slower shutter speeds. For composing images, a 3.69m-dot electronic viewfinder can be used for high-resolution eye-level viewing, and a rear 3.2" 2.36m-dot touchscreen LCD features a three-way tilting design that supports working from high and low angles. Additionally, the GFX 50S II offers a magnesium alloy build that is both lightweight and durable and is also dust- and weather-sealed, as well as freezeproof down to 14°F, for working in harsh environmental conditions.
51.4MP CMOS Sensor and X-Processor 4
Utilizing a large, 43.8 x 32.9mm 51.4MP CMOS sensor and an improved X-Processor 4, the GFX 50S II is capable of delivering high-resolution, 14-bit stills with a broad sensitivity range of ISO 100-12800, which can be extended to ISO 50-102400. The large size of each pixel allows for more efficient light gathering, too, for smoother tonal and color transitions to produce a characteristic three-dimensional "medium format look." Also contributing to several medium format looks, a variety of traditional medium and large format aspect ratios can be used in addition to the standard 4:3, including 1:1, 65:24, 5:4, 7:6, 3:2, and 16:9. The image processor and sensor also permit shooting continuously up to 3 fps or for recording Full HD 1080p video at 29.97, 25, 24, and 23.98 fps frame rates.
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization
Standing out from its predecessor, the GFX 50S II features an in-body image stabilization system that provides up to an impressive 6.5 stops of five-axis stabilization. This provides dramatically broad possibilities for image makers wanting to work more freely with slow shutter speeds.
117-Point Autofocus System
Complimenting the updated image processor is a 117-point autofocus system enabling razor-sharp responses, whether subject tracking or picking out a face in a crowd. An improved autofocusing algorithm boosts focusing performance in all modes, including face
and eye detection.
Additional Camera Features
The FUJIFILM G lens mount features a short focal flange distance of just 26.7mm to better facilitate adapting lenses and to allow for reduced back focusing distances to better prevent vignetting and promote edge-to-edge sharpness with the GF series of lenses.
Film Simulation modes allow you to reproduce the look and feel of 19 of FUJIFILM's film types, including Provia, Velvia, Astia, Eterna, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg., Pro Neg. Hi, Pro Neg. Standard, Acros, Monochrome, and Sepia. Additionally, Grain Effect can be adjusted as well as Classic Chrome effect to fine-tune the look of imagery.
Mechanical focal plane permits working with shutter speeds from 60 min. up to 1/4000 sec, and an electronic shutter allows the use of shutter speeds up to 1/16000 sec for working in bright light conditions.
Dual SD memory card slots are featured, and permit saving imagery in a sequential manner, backup/duplicate manner, or in a sorted manner to segregate JPEG and raw files.
Tethered shooting is possible using X Acquire software to send images from the camera to a hot folder on your computer for further editing. Alternatively, the Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and HS-V5 for Windows operating systems are also available.
Body Design
3.69m-dot electronic viewfinder is included for high-resolution, 0.77x-magnification eye-level viewing.
A 3.2" 2.36m-dot touchscreen LCD is also available for image playback, menu navigation, and live view shooting.
LCD monitor is also featured on the top plate for settings confirmation and exposure data.
Single NP-W235 rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated to provide approximately 440 shots per charge.
Built-in Wi-Fi allows for direct wireless sharing of files as well as remote camera control from a linked mobile device.

FUJIFILM GFX 50S II Reviews
Incredible Imaging Tool
By Paul
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-09-25
This is the camera that finally sold me on digital. I've been shooting film for years and I've tried all kinds of digital cameras. Sony, Canon, even other Fuji cameras. None of them really impressed me. The GFX system is incredible. The files are beautiful, with outstanding colors and amazing detail. The camera is pretty easy to use and light enough to carry around NYC all day. It's not for everyone: it's a deliberate camera, not for sports or action. I use it the way I use my medium format film cameras. 100% sold on GFX.
Amazing Camera!

This camera has been a revelation fr me, for film scanning and a variety of landscape and other work. The multiple aspect ratios are great, as well as the film styles. The raw files can be reformatted from the in camera crop, which suits me well, I dont use that often but its handy if you change your mind.

Does the camera equipped with the leaf shutter? What the flash maximum sync speed? Thanks for answers!
Asked by: Erik
The FUJIFILM GFX 50S II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera has a mechanical focal plane shutter and an electronic shutter, not a leaf shutter. The maximum standard flash sync speed would be 1/125th second. If you use a flash that supports FP High-Speed Sync, then the maximum flash sync speed that may be used would be 1/4,000th second.

Very novice question. Can Nikon DSLR lenses be used with this Lumix camera using some kind of adapter?
Asked by: Amruthraj
Lumix is Panasonic, this is a Fuji camera. Yes there are several different adapters available, whether or not the lens vignettes will depend on which lens you use. There is also a Laowa optical adapter which expands the field of view and adds a 1.4x multiplication factor that allows almost all lenses to completely cover the sensor.

Is it possible to adapt a FF-lens to this sensor and crop-in in camera or that has to be done in post?
Any crop IQ loss?
Asked by: Michael
There are several adapters that allow you to use a full frame lens on the FUJIFILM GFX 50S II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera. If the lens is longer than 90mm you usually don't get any vignetting. If it is smaller than 90mm than you do get vignetting and have to crop in post. If you crop you lose resolution.
