Fujifilm announced Thursday the highest performing 4K Ultra HD camera it has offered to date from its X-series mirrorless interchangeable lens camera family.
The Fujifilm X-H1 packs a 24.3 megapixel APS-C format X-Trans CMOS III image sensor, capable of recording DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) Ultra HD video and Rec. 2020 color gamut at a 200 Mbps bit rate. It also adds Fuji’s F-Log gamma system for wider dynamic range (HDR).
F-Log Gamma enables capturing a flat picture for greater flexibility in performing serious post color-grading applications.
