Fujifilm X-H1: Palle Schultz Video Footage from Nepal + Shooting ETERNA + Same Sensor as X-T2, but Completely Different Camera
Fujifilm X-H1 in Nepal
Palle Schultz has published Part 2 of his Fujifilm X-H1 videos here on youtube.
While in his first X-H1 video, which we shared in our epic 48+ hours non stop live blogging here, Palle went over all the features in an interesting 20 minutes video, this second part will show you those features in action in Nepal.
Amongst the others, he shows
- how the autofocus behaves when you set focus speed and tracking independently for natural looking focus (more manual focus-like)
- lens flare
- ETERNA
- 120fps FullHD slow motion upscaled to 4K
- extreme shadow push
- AF tracking of a group of funny and adorable kids
- & more
Shooting Stills with ETERNA
Palle Schultz shows us some great video footage taken with the X-H1’s new ETERNA film simulation. And as also reported earlier today in the ETERNA development story, it is specifically designed for video use, where “time, the movement of performers, and the sounds and voices” have to create a “seamless flow” with the image itself.
So maybe ETERNA will, for most of us, not become our favorite film simulation for stills, but there are situation, where ETERNA can work well also in stills.
In his ETERNA dedicated article, with lot of ETERNA sample images, ivanjoshualoh writes:
“I must say initially I didn’t like Eterna. I find it’s a bit flat and the color are not its strongest feature. […] The more I shoot with it, I realize with all things; it has its weaknesses and strength. […] I feel not all pictures works beautifully with Eterna but a good number do. Its does give a beautiful mood to the feel. And I am beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel.”

Thoughts on the Fuji X-H1 after hands-on with it at Zed ProMedia Youtube. He says:
- IBIS is really really good
- Linear focus mode is awesome for video. Wherever you put the lens and bring it back, it is going to be the exact same distance every single time. It will sync up your focus exactly where you want it to be.
- Fujifilm re-worked the camera. Has the same sensor/processor as X-T2, but it’s a completely different camera
- More a professional body
- It’s good that it’s bigger. There are tons of smaller options out there if you want a smaller camera
- Back-button focussing button feels perfect and is in perfect position. Works great
- Awesome shutter sound and feel
- This camera is THE camera for Fujifilm right now
