Fujifilm X-Half Coming with New “Film Roll Mode” and This is How it Works

The Fujifilm X-Half will be quite more experiential than what we think.

Not only will it be a digital half frame camera, and we explained how it works here.

It will come with other new concepts, one of them we can explain to you today.

The Fujifilm X-Half has a mode that, when enabled, will not allow you to change settings or see pictures before your reach a certain number of pictures (for example 36 pictures).

Now, I don’t know how Fujifilm is going to call this mode, but I’ll call it the “film roll mode”, because, like shooting on film, you can’t review your images immediately or swap rolls after each shot.
