Fuji X H2S + 150-600mm f5.6-8 R LM OIS WR

Fuji XH2S + 150-600mm

XH2S FUJI Camera Features

1. X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HS: This 26.16 MP image sensor inherits the backlight style of the previous model, but also adopts the stacked layer structure to become the first stacked APS-C sensor capable of quadrupling the signal reading speed compared to the current model It has drastically improved performance, including the blackout-free burst mode of up to 40 fps*6 and a significantly better AF rate during continuous shooting. In terms of video performance, the sensor can record 4K/60P video without cropping with a substantially reduced rolling shutter effect.

2. X-Processor 5: The new processor has twice the processing speed of the current model. It has improved image resolution at low ISO sensitivity and reduced noise at high ISO sensitivity in photographs, while delivering significantly improved accuracy and AF speed. The use of the AI processor allows for AF subject detection, tracking a target subject more accurately. In video, the processor allows for 10-bit 4:2:2 video shooting at 6.2K/30P and 4K/120P, and supports a variety of codecs, including Apple ProRes 422 HQ*7. It also has lower power consumption, extending the maximum video recording time and supports a CFexpressTM Type B memory card.

The X-H2S takes full advantage of the capability of fifth-generation devices to achieve a substantial performance improvement.

(1) Major Burst Mode Capability Increase: The camera can apply AF/AE tracking on uninterrupted continuous shots at up to 40 frames per second, and can shoot more than 1000 frames continuously when you set the high-speed burst shooting mode to 30 frames per second (JPEG) or 20 frames per second (RAW). *8

(2) Drastically Evolved AF Performance: The higher number of AF calculations performed per second has improved AF accuracy, provides a subject recognition AF function, and improves the prediction algorithm to dramatically improve zone AF and the ability to follow a moving subject in low-light conditions. contrasting environment.

(3) Improved Video Performance: The camera supports 4:2:2 10-bit video recording at 6.2K/30P and 4K/120P internally. The sensor's readout speed during video recording has been improved to 1/180 second, eliminating the rolling shutter effect. Supports three Apple ProRes codecs; ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 and ProRes 422 LT. When recording ProRes, X-H2S also supports proxy recording as ProRes 422 Proxy. Another new feature is the F-Log2 capability with dynamic range expanded to over 14 stops, allowing for much smoother tonal expression.

Features of the FUJI 150-600mm f5.6-8 R LM OIS WR Telephoto Lens:

1) zoom lens covering the longest super-telephoto range in the Fujifilm line in pursuit of superior image quality

The new lens covers the longest focal length range in the Fujifilm lineup, from 150mm telephoto to 600mm super-telephoto (equivalent to 229mm – 914mm in the 35mm film format), making it the perfect choice for wildlife, bird and sports photography.

Consisting of 24 lens elements in 17 groups, including three ED elements and four Super ED elements, the lens completely suppresses axial chromatic aberration, which is often seen in super-telephoto lenses. It offers a high level of edge-to-edge image resolution performance over the entire zoom range.

The HT-EBC coating, which is typically used in transmission lenses, has been applied to all elements to achieve high transmittance and low reflectance despite containing 24 lens elements.

Supports "XF2X TC WR" and "XF1.4X TC WR" teleconverters. When paired with the XF2X TC WR, this lens covers a range of focal lengths from 300mm to 1200mm (equivalent to 457mm - 1828mm in the 35mm film format).

(2) Rugged yet lightweight design to reduce user burden, allowing for prolonged shooting in a variety of situations

It weighs only 1605 g despite being a super telephoto zoom that reaches up to 600 mm (equivalent to 914 mm in the 35 mm film format). Two Super ED elements are used as front-facing elements to keep the lens body small while still maintaining an advanced level of image resolution performance. The use of the Inner Zoom system means that the lens body has a simple, non-extensible structure. The result is a lightweight lens that makes zoom easily with no changes in weight distribution.

The lens body is matte silver to mitigate its temperature rise during operation. This reduces the risk of the lens heating up even during wildlife, bird, or sports photography in sweltering heat, giving users peace of mind.

Magnesium alloy is used for the internal base frame that supports the lens structure to keep the weight down and make it sturdy at the same time.

The lens barrel is weather-sealed in 19 locations to ensure dust and weather resistance and the ability to operate in temperatures up to minus 10 degrees Celsius. It can withstand use in nature photography in a snowfield or in the tropics, or in sports photography under adverse weather conditions.

(3) 5-stop image stabilization mechanism

With the 600mm super-telephoto focal length (equivalent to 914mm in the 35mm film format), the longest in Fujifilm's line (*1), the size of the camera's movement becomes too large to control with in-body image stabilization. Therefore, it becomes necessary to apply a fine adjustment of the optical axis on the lens before an image is formed on the sensor. The XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR features a high-precision detection and control system to deliver a 5-stop optical image stabilization mechanism (*2), one of the most powerful for super-telephoto zooms, making it easier than ever to shoot in the super-telephoto range, more susceptible to camera shake. Users can take full advantage of the mobility of the compact X-mount when shooting handheld super-telephoto shots.

(4) Various functions for fast and quiet AF and easy AF operation

The lens uses the Inner Focus system, which drives the compact and lightweight focus lens cluster with a linear motor for fast and quiet AF. Focusing is achieved quickly and accurately in just 0.25 seconds (*3), even in the hard-to-focus super-telephoto range, ensuring you capture a decisive photo opportunity.

The Focus Preset function is introduced so that the lens remembers the focus for a predefined location with the SET button (*4). Users can continue shooting without having to readjust focus on a target subject.

The focus limiter is another feature that allows users to restrict the autofocus range of the lens. This can effectively shorten AF time when photographing a subject that is 5 meters or more. The focus limiter can be activated with the focus range selector.

The focus control button is located on the front edge of the lens barrel (*4). Use the focus selection switch for greater AF operability and focus lock.

*3 AF speed measured at the telephoto end, using an internal metering method that complies with CIPA guidelines, when mounted on the "FUJIFILM X-T4" mirrorless digital camera with phase detection AF enabled and the high-performance mode activated. The AF speed at the wide-angle end under identical conditions is approx. 0.15 seconds.

*4 The camera's firmware must be updated to activate the Focus Preset function and the Focus Control button. The update will be released later for the FUJIFILM X-T4, FUJIFILM X-T3 and FUJIFILM X-S10.
