Japanese imaging giant Fujifilm has launched the Fujifilm X-H2 mirrorless camera, which will join the existing X Series line-up in India. The new Fujifilm X-H2 is the first APS-C camera to support 8K/30P Apple ProRes internal recording and features a 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor.
Fujifilm X-H2 New Features
The fastest shutter speed for the electronic shutter has increased by 2.5 stops from the previous 1/32000 sec to 1/180000 sec thanks to the usage of the new sensor. This allows for users to open the aperture wide open without blowing out the exposure and needing an ND filter to expose properly.
The Fujifilm X-H2 features In-body Image Stabilization (IBIS), which allows for Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function to capture 20 frames in a single shutter press.

For video, the X-H2 allows users to film in 8K 30P in 4:2:2 10-bit color for up to 160 minutes. The camera also oversamples 8K footage into a 4K for sharper details.
Using external recorders from the likes of Atomos and Blackmagic Design, users can record videos in 8K as ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW in 29.97 fps, drastically ramping up production quality. For less demanding workflows, Fujifilm has added F-Log and F-Log2 as well.
In comparison to current models, the new high-resolution sensor includes more phase detection pixels, which improves the capacity to achieve AF-S focus on a subject with high-frequency subject. Users can quickly and precisely autofocus in scenarios where AF-S is frequently used, as when taking landscape and portrait photographs.
Additionally, an enhanced AF prediction algorithm that was newly created for the X-H2S is included in the X-H2, enabling consistent focus even while utilising AF-C.
During movie recording, the X-H2 now has a focus meter as an MF support, enabling more accurate focus adjustment. Additionally, it may be utilized in conjunction with focus peaking.
Fujifilm X-H2 Specifications
For the EVF, the Fujifilm X-H2 features a 5.76-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification, allowing for up to 120 fps and the 1.62 million-dot vari-angle LCD can be used to film from difficult angles.
The camera also has 79 weather-sealed locations with high resistance to moisture and dust.
Fujifilm X-H2 comes with a CFexpress Type B memory card slot along with one UHS-II SD memory card slot.

The Fujifilm X-H2 camera is priced at Rs 1,99,999 for the body only, and users can also opt for a kit-lens + body package that includes the FUJIFILM X-H2 and XF16-80mm F/4 R OIS WR lens, which retails at a combined price of Rs 2,44,999.
