[@AlexWong9889]

One of the most helpful videos about the Fuji GFX 50R. Great job! Thanks!

[@fujiguys]

Thank-you for watching and for taking the time to comment.

[@supranav]

Well presented, thank you Gord! Now I can confidently move up from the XPro2 to the GFX 50R.

[@fujiguys]

Thank-you for your comments. Hope you enjoy the GFX 50R.

[@LarryHilderman]

Well done Gord!! Great presentation with lots of information.

[@nelsonclub7722]

The more I use my GFX the more I love it. Benn looking for some proper guidance on this and now thanks to you I have found it - Good stuff - subbed!!

[@fujiguys]

Cool, thanks!

[@momoz88]

I really hope Fuji makes a replacement for the 50r soon. I much prefer the range finder style body with the retro dials.

[@andyfelts]

A couple of suggestions for firmware updates (sorry you must get loads of these!)... when the electronic level is on, please remove the need to turn it off before manual focussing, just turning the focus ring should do this. for exposure bracketing (and perhaps other bracketing options), can we please have an option to turn this on via an fn button rather than having to access drive... this makes more sense to me than the 'exposure bracketing setting' via fn (but that's good to have too). These two changes would make a near perfect camera, total perfection for me!!!!

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for your suggestions Andy.

[@robertbonham1424]

Great information.

[@jackleggo9680]

Thanks very helpful please give more info on the GFX50r I have had mine for about one month and love it.

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for watching and your comments Jack. We are always looking at increasing our video content. Be on the lookout for a few tutorial and tips & tricks videos; coming soon.

The GFX 50R should prove to be one of the greatest composer's tools,especially if you're great at getting images right in camera...

[@fujiguys]

Thanks Michael. We appreciate your thoughts and comments.

[@MrMick560]

EXCELLENT ! Really clearly explained, straight to the point, I was just wondering if there is still an intention to show how to process the process bracketing in the camera, I use Affinity Photo but suppose it will be very similar what ever you use ?

I purchased a GFX 100s at B&H in New York City on August 2021. I have installed recently the latest firmware version (2.12) and I encountered that the front wheel has stopped working. I use my camera always in mode "M", using both the front and back wheel to change aperture & shutter speed. I have noticed that the front wheel has stopped changing any value: "aperture", "s.s." and/or "ISO" (no matter each of which is selected on the menu). In addition, the aperture is not changed despite the GF lens is set the aperture ring to "C" and/or "A". The front wheel does not work no matter I select "M", "A" or any other shooting modes. Only the aperture is changed by the back wheel on "P" mode. Is there any chance to downgrade the firmware version to 2.11, so that to see if the front wheel comes back to work properly, or any other option available?. Any piece of advise would be much appreciated.

[@georgehwa3897]

I just bought the GFX 50R and try to set it up. Under the Image Quality Setting/Image Quality, I only have Super Fine, Fine, Normal . I do see any JPEG+ RAW or RAW Only those choices. I don't know what I did wrong on the setting or press the wrong button before. Please help!!!

[@fujiguys]

There are a couple of ways to adjust the image quality; either the "Q" button, or in the IQ setting. You may have the "Drive" Setting in multiple exposure. Press the "Drive" button to go back to single exposure. Then, press the "Menu" button and scroll to the first page of "IQ". The second line is "Image Quality". You should be able to see the various options, including "...+RAW". Hope that helps.

Well presented

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for watching and for the comment.

[@JoshKeatonFan]

I'm new to digital photography and was wondering if this is a good camera to learn and practice and get good with doing all this stuff.

[@michaels8597]

Yes,i would say so,if you budget allows..It's medium format,so the files are pretty large,and of course you will need plenty of media cards and storage drives...For example,true redundancy might be something like this.128 or 256GB fast cards,and about three sets..Desktop computer with i7 CPU,64GB RAM..1080GT and better GPU/CUDA...2 x512GB SSD drives mirrored..2x 3TB WD drives@7200RPM..set up NAS or server with more hard drives,and then have another setup in another location,etc,etc..Also,being medium format and not being a spray and pray camera,it makes you take your time,breathe,and compose shots..It should be amazing for outdoor portraits,buildings,and some amazing time lapse...

[@A___-naut]

@@michaels8597 quite a list :-) but couldn't be said better.

[@michaels8597]

@@A___-naut wishful thinking

[@Luigi13]

Would it be possible if Fujifilm designed a camera with the Xtran sensor similar to the XT3 and XT4 with the XT-4 body encapsulating it? Or make a body design like the XT-4 with a medium format sensor in it? The GFX 50R is a slow and bulky camera which I am not so sure if it sold very well. I like the image quality it produces but it is not designed to work like the XT-4 autofocus and or speed.

[@tedtedsen269]

i have the 50r but i cant find in the menu when the memory card nr1 is full and nr2 is automatically taking over, do i have to manually switch from nr1 to nr 2 can't find auto

[@fujiguys]

Hi Ted. Go to Settings > Save Data Setting > Card Slot Setting. If you choose "Sequential" that will save images to card slot #1 and when that card fills up, it will automatically save images to card slot #2.

[@tedtedsen269]

@@fujiguysThanks, this video is more useful than you think and thanks for the reply. Which gfx lens will you recommend as my second i have 32-64mm + to adapt (zeiss 35-50-100mm )thinking of 45mm but that focal length is in 32-64mm

[@fujiguys]

Thanks for your comments, Ted. For a second lens, it really depends on your shooting style. The GF45mmF2.8 is one stop faster than the GF32-64mmF4. It's also smaller. Another lens to consider is the GF50mmF3.5; which is a very compact lens, very economical, and pairs nicely with the GFX 50R.

[@tedtedsen269]

is Focus bracketing the same as what Nikon calls Focus stacking in their camera, but Fuji has a different name for it

[@fujiguys]

Fujifilm calls it Focus Bracketing as the individual images are not compiled in the camera, and it requires a computer and software to compile the images into a resulting extended focus image.

[@peterlane3400]

I'm wondering about the amount of frames that can be captured in crop mode per second?I would used this mode with my EF mount lenses.

[@fujiguys]

The maximum frame rate for the mechanical shutter is 3.0 fps, regardless of any crop mode used.

[@StephenPatiencePhotography]

Thanks for an informative insight to thee GFX 50R. How do you think it would it go for time-lapse and tethering to other motion control or ramping devices ? Thanks.

[@salpatalano2306]

So I had a question and hope I can state it correctly.....for the GFX50S, if I set SS to say 1/500 sec, f-stop at say f7.1 and if in a room with minimal lighting, the image would appear rather dark and would be hard to focus...can I have the viewfinder be set so that it would be brighter to focus but when I trip the shutter, the SS and the f-stop that I set would engage? Thank you...

[@fujiguys]

Hi Sal. Yes, you can change the display setting and have the EVF/LCD to always be bright, rather than showing the resulting exposure. This is particularly useful when shooting in a studio, where you might be shooting @ 1/125 second at F8.

[@salpatalano2306]

Fuji Guys Channel thanks....would you remind me how I Do That? I thought I could but for got...thx

[@salpatalano2306]

Got it...under screen display....thanks

[@sumandasgupta6920]

What is the shutter T option? How is it different from Bulb mode (B)?

[@fujiguys]

With "T" you can set the shutter speed from the entire shutter speed range from 60 minutes to 1/4,000 second in 1/3 stop increments. With "B" the shutter remains open for as long as you hold down the shutter button (either physically, or electronically).

[@sumandasgupta6920]

@@fujiguys Thank you. Just one more question - when I doing a long shutter and need precise shutter timing, then I should be using the 'B' mode. Is that correct? Does fuji make a good remote shutter release / cable or advises consumers to use the phone based app? Sorry! ended up with 2 questions :-)

[@fujiguys]

If you need precise timing for a long exposure, you are better to use "T" as that utilizes the camera's timer, as opposed to "B" which relies on you looking at a stopwatch, then releasing the shutter. While you could use the remote app, if you are looking for a wired release, check out the RR-100 Remote Release.

[@acmdv]

Does the GFX 50R have eye focus like the X-T3?

[@fujiguys]

Anthony Da Vall Yes. The GFX 50R does have eye detect AF. It just won’t be quite as fast to lock focus as the X-T3.

[@SeleezSE]

I really wish Fujifilm made a 35mm full frame mirror less.. I LOVE my Fujifilm XT-1 and XT-20 as well as Fujinon XF lenses .... But due to the high price of the GFX series, and lack of a cheaper full frame option, That is why I recently bought a Sony A7r III... Such a shame too as I loved the Fuji menus and that Q menu, and my Fuji XF lenses. When Fujifilm decides to make a full frame camera, I will stick with my A7r III for the next few years mainly used for astrophotography....

[@fujiguys]

Thank you for your comments.

Guys, when will the XH-2 be announced?

Sorry Erik, but it is not appropriate for us to respond to this question.
