The FUJIFILM X-H2S mirrorless system camera, the new flagship model of the X series, expands the family of compact APS-C cameras with advanced photo and video functions. The X-H2S marks the fifth technology generation of the camera system founded by FUJIFILM in 2012, whose models combine high image quality and compact design with unprecedented color technology.
At the heart of the X-H2S is the 26.16-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HS Sensor*1, which enables four times faster signal processing than the previous generation sensor*2. It is complemented by the X-Processor 5, which processes image information supplied by the sensor at an even higher speed*3.
The camera is equipped with a powerful autofocus system that enables reliable focusing of dynamic subjects even during continuous shooting at up to 40 frames per second and video recording in high-definition 6.2K or 4K format.
Other features of the X-H2S, which inherits the proven operating concept of its predecessor, include in-camera five-axis image stabilization over seven EV steps*4, a robust magnesium body, and a wide range of connectivity options. Among other things, the camera is compatible with CFexpress Type B memory cards*5 and can be integrated into network environments via a separately available File Transmitter.
This makes the X-H2S the ideal choice for all professional photo and video shooting. It is suitable for use in wildlife, sports and press photography, and especially for small shooting teams.
X-Trans sensor and fifth-generation X processor
The X-H2S is significantly more powerful than previous X series cameras. The reason for the increase in performance is the use of two advanced components: the X-Trans CMOS 5 HS Sensor and the X-Processor 5.
The new 26.16 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HS Sensor is the first BSI and Stacked APS-C sensor to be used in the X Series. The abbreviation BSI stands for "back-side illuminated," and "stacked" means that the sensor is constructed from multiple stacked discs. This chip design provides considerable performance improvements. For example, the four times faster readout speed enables blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 40 frames per second*6 and significantly improved autofocus once again. In addition, high-resolution moving images in 4K/60p quality can now be recorded without a crop factor. Videos are also less susceptible to the rolling shutter effect that can occur when shooting moving objects.
The advanced X Processor 5 processes data twice as fast as the previous flagship X Series model. It delivers improved resolution performance at low sensor sensitivities, lower image noise at high ISOs, and significantly faster and even more accurate autofocus. The use of artificial intelligence results in highly accurate object-based AF tracking. The fifth-generation processor enables video capture in professional 6.2K/30p format with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling. It also supports other video codecs. The camera is also compatible with fast CFexpress Type B memory cards. Despite the power boost, the processor consumes less energy, allowing for longer shooting times.
Fast Continuous Shooting with AF Tracking
The X-H2S offers highly accurate automatic focusing even with fast frame rates and can shoot up to 40 frames per second with object-based tracking and continuous adjustment of focus and exposure. In continuous shooting, phase AF pixels are evaluated independently of image generation, enabling three times more autofocus calculations than the previous flagship model*7 for lightning-fast focusing.
The camera features an expanded buffer memory that, in conjunction with the electronic shutter, can now store up to 1.000 photos*8 in quick succession when set to a continuous shooting speed of 30 frames per second in JPG mode or 20 frames per second in RAW mode.
Intelligent and powerful autofocus
The new image processor offers an object-oriented autofocus function with scene recognition and artificial intelligence. Developed using deep learning technology, the algorithm not only detects and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes and trains in focus. Thanks to this capability, the photographer can fully concentrate on the creative shooting process and the composition of the image.
A new AF algorithm results in significantly better prediction of subject movement. This leap in development enables the camera to track moving subjects with high precision using Zone AF, even in low-light conditions. This makes the X-H2S ideal for demanding wildlife and sports photography.
Advanced Video Features
The camera can record high-definition video in 6.2K/30p format with lifelike 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling. It also offers the ability to record spectacular slow-motion sequences in 4K/120p quality to reproduce explosive motion sequences at extreme deceleration.
With the new image sensor, the readout speed for video recording is shortened to 1/180 second, which avoids the annoying rolling shutter effect and allows the object motion to be recorded very realistically.
The improved autofocus performance is also evident in video recording. AF functions for tracking fast-moving subjects are available when filming, as is the AF+MF function, which allows seamless switching between automatic and manual focus.
The X-H2S supports a variety of video codecs, including three Apple ProRes codecs*9: ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, and ProRes 422 LT. For workflow optimization, a proxy video with reduced data rate and resolution can be saved in parallel to the ProRes recording.
The new F-Log2 mode allows recording videos with a dynamic range of more than 14 EV steps. This means that the recorded video material offers more creative scope in post-production than with the previous F-Log mode.
The camera housing has been designed so that the heat generated by the sensor and processor is dissipated quickly. This enables significantly longer recording time of up to 240 minutes*10 in 4K/60p quality. The optional FAN-001 fan provides additional cooling to the body, enabling longer shooting time even in high ambient temperatures.
Advanced features and ease of use
The X-H2S features new in-camera five-axis image stabilization. The sensor technology enables sharp shots at shutter speeds up to seven EV stops slower, offering a decisive advantage in many situations. For example, super-telephoto shots in low-light conditions, such as twilight or darkness, can be easily taken freehand.
The electronic viewfinder also contributes to the X-H2S's ease of use. With 5.76 million pixels, 0.8x magnification and a frame rate of 120 fps, it offers an optimal view of the subject. In order to track dynamic subjects optimally at all times, parallax errors or distortion, which often occur when the eye is positioned differently, are effectively suppressed.
From its predecessor, the FUJIFILM X-H1, the new flagship model has inherited not only the particularly robust body, but also several popular features. For example, the upper LCD sub-display, on which the camera settings can be conveniently read. The molded grip, which was already one of the features of the predecessor model, was specifically revised at the request of users to enable fatigue-free photography with larger Lenses, even over longer periods of time.
As a result of qualified feedback from photographers worldwide, there have been further improvements, mainly affecting the handling of the camera. Among other things, the product designers revised the tactility of central operating elements: the pressure and release point of the shutter release button was optimized so that the release point can be controlled even more precisely in the half-pressed state. In addition, there is now a separate video button, which simplifies filming in conjunction with the rotatable and tiltable LCD monitor (1.62 million pixels).
Furthermore, the AF-On button has a new tapping characteristic to further simplify handling of the function.
The shutter of the X-H2S is particularly durable and lasted for more than 500,000 exposures in internal tests. The X-H2S's dual memory card slot supports CFexpress Type B cards in addition to conventional SD cards, allowing the camera's full potential to be realized in continuous shooting and video recording, among other applications.*11

FUJINON XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR - Lightweight and Compact Super-Telezoom Lens with High Image Quality
FUJIFILM expands its lens portfolio with the addition of the FUJINON XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR super-telezoom lens for X series mirrorless system cameras. The new Lens complements the camera system that has won numerous awards for its outstanding image quality and compact design, and is also renowned for its unrivaled FUJIFILM color reproduction.
With a zoom range from 150mm to 600mm (equivalent to 229-914mm KB), the XF150-600mmF5.6-8 offers the longest focal length of any lens currently available for the X Series.*1 With the tele-converters already available, the range can be further extended to 1200 mm (equivalent to 1828 mm KB).
Super-telephoto lenses are prone to optical aberrations that result in a loss of image quality. The optical system of the XF150-600mmF5.6-8 therefore incorporates three ED elements and four Super ED elements to ensure high imaging performance across the entire focal length range. The fast autofocus ensures that the Lens focuses precisely at the decisive moment.
Despite its impressive performance, the XF150-600mmF5.6-8 is surprisingly light, weighing just 1,605 grams, and remains exceptionally handy thanks to the non-extending zoom mechanism. This makes the new zoom lens the ideal choice for wildlife and sports photography, which often requires shooting from a long distance.
Longest range in FUJIFILM lens lineup
The new zoom lens covers the focal length range from 150mm telephoto to 600mm super telephoto (equivalent to 229-914mm KB), offering the longest range of any lens available for the X series.*1 This makes it the ideal choice for wildlife, bird and sports photography.
The optical design features 24 lenses in 17 groups, including three ED and four Super ED elements that virtually eliminate color aberration in super-telephoto shots. High imaging performance is guaranteed throughout the entire focal length range, right to the corners of the image.
All lenses are coated with the HT-EBC coating, which was originally developed by FUJINON for demanding broadcast use in video and film productions. It guarantees high transmission and low reflection rates.
The Lens is compatible with the XF2X TC WR and XF1.4X TC WR teleconverters. When used with the XF2X TC WR, the focal length range expands to 300 mm to 1200 mm (equivalent to 457-1828 mm KB).
Robust and lightweight body
The Lens weighs only 1,605 grams, which is very light for a super telephoto zoom with a focal length up to 600 mm. The use of two Super ED lenses in the front section allows for a comparatively small diameter and a consistently high resolving power.
The lens barrel does not extend when zooming. Regardless of the selected focal length, the length of the lens always remains the same and the camera-lens unit remains optimally balanced.
The matte silver body prevents the lens from heating up strongly in sunlight. This is of particular benefit to wildlife and sports photographers, who often work in the blazing sun for long periods of time.
The lens body is weather sealed. 19 seals ensure that neither dust nor moisture penetrate inside and that the Lens remains fully functional even in cold temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. This makes it possible to shoot in adverse weather conditions, in the snow, or in the tropics without worry.
The internal frame construction is made of a strong and lightweight magnesium alloy that protects the inner workings of the lens against external influences.
Optical Five-Step Image Stabilizer
Super-telephoto photography is easier than ever with the XF150-600mmF5.6-8. Shooting at very long focal lengths is particularly prone to camera shake. At 600mm (equivalent to 914mm KB), unwanted movement can no longer be compensated for by the camera's internal image stabilizer alone. The XF150-600mm F5.6-8 therefore features one of the most powerful optical stabilizers in the super-telephoto zoom class. The built-in OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) system enables sharp images at shutter speeds up to five EV stops*2 slower.
Compact and lightweight, the XF150-600mmF5.6-8 follows in the tradition of the X series, with its compactness designed specifically for mobile and handheld shooting.
Fast and convenient autofocus system
The XF150-600mm has a fast and accurate autofocus that focuses on the subject in just 0.25 seconds*3 even in the hard-to-focus super-telephoto range. The AF system is based on an internal focusing system that uses a quiet linear motor to move the compact and lightweight focus group into the required position at lightning speed.
The "Focus Preset" function allows a predefined focusing distance to be stored and directly accessed as required at the touch of a button. In this way, photographs can be taken spontaneously without having to measure the focus distance again.*4
The "Focus Limiter" function allows the available AF area to be limited. This makes it possible to focus much faster on subjects that are more than five meters away from the camera. The Focus Limiter is easily activated via the focus area switch when needed.
The focus selection button is located on the front of the Lens. The focus selection switch can be used to expand the functionality and operability of the AF system and the focus limiter.*4
*1 As of May 31, 2022
*2 According to CIPA standard with respect to vertical and lateral axis (yaw and pitch axis).
*3 AF speed is determined at the extreme telephoto focal length (600mm) using a proprietary metering method developed according to CIPA standards and in conjunction with the phase AF of a FUJFILM X-T4 mirrorless system camera operating in high-performance mode. At focal length 150mm, the Lens focuses in approximately 0.15 seconds under the same metering conditions.
