FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 Cinema Camera

The GFX ETERNA 55 offers five main formats that are paired to specific lens categories:

• GF and Premista, for use with FUJIFILM lenses.
• 35mm, anamorphic (35mm), and Super 35, for use with a range of lenses from multiple brands.
• Each of these five formats has multiple resolution selections, further expanding your capture options.
• Video Formats/Resolutions

  The GFX ETERNA 55 expands the GFX100 II's video recording choices with new Open Gate, Super 35, and 2.39:1 anamorphic options using a large 43.8 x 32.9mm sensor.

   

  • Open Gate is available in 3.8K 4:3 at rates up to 48 fps.
  • Super 35 options include 6.3K24 in 16:9, DCI 4K30/UHD 4K30 in 17:9 and 16:9, and up to 1080p60 in 17:9 and 16:9.
  • Anamorphic 2.39:1 is available in Cine 5.8K up to 30 fps, Super 35 8K24 in 2.39:1, and Super 35 4K24 in 1.2:1.
• Anamorphic Ready

  The GFX ETERNA's large 4:3 sensor is ready for you to combine with anamorphic lenses, and the camera provides real-time anamorphic de-squeezing for on-set monitoring.
• Recording Codecs

  Take full advantage of the GFX ETERNA 55's large sensor and internally record video in Apple ProRes 422/HQ/LT, 4:2:2, 10-bit HEVC/H.265, or H.264 or ProRes proxies. Use the HDMI output for external 4:2:2 10-bit uncompressed or 12-bit raw recording.
• Custom Frame Guides

  Users can create custom frame guides right from the viewfinder with up to three saved for quick access. Aspect ratios range include 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 17:9, 2.39:1, and custom. Customizable functions include 1-100% scaling, four line widths, and five color options.
• FUJIFILM G and ARRI PL Mounts

  The native FUJIFILM G-mount ETERNA 55 camera is compatible with existing G-mount lenses and the new power-zoom G 32-90mm lens, which is optimized for this camera and features autofocus and auto iris functions, as well as geared focus, iris, and zoom rings. The included ARRI PL-mount adapter provides compatibility with an array of cine-style lenses and Cooke /i lens data where available.
• Variable ND Filter

  The built-in variable electronic ND filter lets you adjust your exposure without stopping down or opening up on your lens, ideal for bright exteriors, slow shutter effects, and shallow depth-of-field looks. This dial-control filter varies from ND 0.6 to ND 2.1, providing a range of two to seven stops in visually stepless .015 increments.
• Low-Pass Filter

  New to the GFX line, the included OLPF (optical low-pass filter) helps to reduce color anomalies and moiré effects, especially helpful when shooting with LED wall backgrounds.

  Dedicated Top Handle

  The included top handle features a multifunctional left-side dial that can be assigned to ND filter control or to focus, iris, or zoom control when paired with an electronically controlled lens. This handle has a sliding rail base, letting you quickly adjust your camera balance for hand-holding after a lens change, battery addition, etc.

  Connectivity

  Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet enable a range of features, including Frame.io compatibility, browser-based remote control for focus, iris, zoom, and more. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) will be supported using the FUJIFILM TG-BT1 tripod grip or an Atomos AirGlu Ambient device.
