Here is more of the latest X-H1 content that appeared on the world wide web.
But the #1 source for all things Fujifilm X-H1 is our huge and hyperactive Fujifilm X-H1 Facebook group, where basically everything you see below has already been shared and discussed. Feel free to join. If all you want is to be notified about X-H1 content only, make sure to like our dedicated Fujifilm X-H1 facebook Page.
Face Detection Tracing test at 梅晟義 Youtube. Keep in mind it’s pre-production firmware. Looks good so far, though. Sometimes it looks unsharp, but that’s because of the smartphone recording.
The X-H1 Coverage Continues
The buzz surrounding the Fujifilm X-H1 launch seems never to end, and while this night was the first night after 10 days, that I could sleep at least 6 hours, my X-H1 coverage continues without a pause.
But given the huge X-H1 buzz, let’s make a little summary of what has been posted already in the last 3 days.
A special note goes to TheCameraStoreTV live stream, where Fuji Guy Billy answered really many questions, including the one how Fujifilm made the X mount compatible with IBIS.

Once again, Fujifilm has improved the AF-algorithm on the Fujifilm X-H1, making it Fujifilm best camera for autofocus tracking and low light focussing.
What we have for you today, are some media slides, that illustrate the AF improvement and that highlight the difference between the Fujifilm X-H1 and the Fujifilm X-T2.
But there is more.
I will also attach other Fujifilm X-H1 slides, including an even more accurate table of the IBIS efficiency, where you can see that the XF35mmF1.4 actually has an average of 5.7 stops of stabilization!
Speaking of media slides, there are a lot more of them in Anthony Thurstons’ article “5 Little Things That Make the Fujifilm X-H1 That Much Better“. I will share a few of Anothony’s media slides below and integrate them with some that are not included in his google fotos drive.
Overall the slides demonstrate how many areas Fujifilm has improved over the X-T2, and of course we all cross fingers that, where possible, some of these improvements will come to X-T2 & Co via firmware update.
FUJIFILM GFX50S, 63mm lens, iso 100, 1/125, f11. The Pro set at 1/4 power in regular flash mode recycled almost immediately, a welcome and noticeable improvement from the older model.
Is the Godox Witstro AD600 Pro a substantially better flash than its predecessor, the AD600?
I have now had the Godox AD600 PRO in my hands for 48 hours, since posting my ‘first impressions’ review. What have I discovered since, and is it a substantially better flash than its predecessor, the AD600?
I used the brand-new Pro unit earlier today on a fashion shoot for Berlin-based fashion brand, Hadas Hinkis.
Since in my first round of clinical testing, I had already determined that one PRO has roughly the same output as the twin H1200, when paired with the legendary Broncolor Flooter S, I felt confident to bring only the PRO on set.
As expected, the PRO performed flawlessly during the entire shoot.
TheCameraStoreTV had a fantastic live stream with Fuji Guy Billy today, and of course it’s all about the Fujifilm X-H1. Make sure to check it out here.
I was lucky enough to attend the live stream and make my questions, but Jordan anticipated me on the first big question I wanted to make to Billy: back in 2016 Fujifilm said X mount is not compatible with IBIS. What did Fuji do on the Fujifilm X-H1 to make it compatible? Here is Billy’s answer:
“We understand how IBIS works with pretty much all brands. We thought it was a very strong feature to incorporate.
At that time when we said that statement, the technology for us wasn’t there yet. Because, when we develop our cameras, image quality is number 1 for us. And we know that with IBIS, there is always some sort of loss in that, so we needed to develop a system that still mantains that high strict image quality. That really was successful with the X-H1.
We had to make the IBIS system a little bit larger in order to do so. That’s why the X-H1 itself is slightly bigger to accommodate that.
It’s the only IBIS system that has a dual processor that can make 10,000 calculations and that corrects instantly for any movement.”
How I understand this, is that Fujifilm studied other brands’ IBIS systems, they saw that those solutions won’t work on Fuji cameras, they needed time to develop a technology specific for their cameras, and their solution ended up requiring the whole camera to become bigger compared to other systems.
Heard that, I asked Billy if this means that IBIS won’t come to smaller Fujifilm cameras in future. Billy answered:
“currently the IBIS system is quite large and that’s why this camera itself is large. We really want to maintain image quality. Now it’s very important for us to develop the system. I think as we learn to grow and develop, who knows where that technology will go.”
This makes hope that one day we will see IBIS also on smaller cameras. But currently, it’s not possible. Related to this, I remind you that we rumored the Fujifilm X-T3 has no IBIS.
Now just a few more highlights of a long and very interesting live chat…. oh, and do NOT miss the Wooden Niccolls movie shot entirely on X-H1.
Jordan says Fujifilm has quickly gone from “nothing” to “very amazing” in the video market
Nobody buys a GH5 or A7sII to do professional stills and video. They are video cameras that have stills option. The X-H1, though, is a fantastic stills camera that happens to do excellent video.
Fujifilm will offer the LUT file for ETERNA. Eterna great skin tones. ETERNA on X-T2 is very possible in future (as we rumored here, it will come)
X-H1 has Jordans’ favorite APS-C shutter since the Pentax K3II. Super quiet.
10bit: X-H1 sensor and processor don’t have the speed yet to support the incredible data 10bit has.
there is some rolling shutter, but pretty well controlled, especially with some lenses and IBIS
Firmware updates are costly, but Fujifilm is committed to them
X-H1 has much larger heat sink, and processor can run much higher
Video Autofocus: Canon is on top, but Fuji and Sony are following.
15 minutes limit in 4K is due to sensor heat
The little things Fuji cares: they made the EVF sticking out, to avoid the nose to touch the screen, they improved the mechanism of the 3-way tilt screen and more
With manual focus lenses only, you only have 3 axis stabilization, because in oder to know shift, you need to know subject distance.
