Fujifilm GFX100RF Additional Layout Details

An anonymous source, who has once before shared accurate info with us (luckily it decided to use a nickname, so I can keep track of the rumors, THANKS), has now shared additional info regarding the layout of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

First off: it confirms that the quick render we shared here in regards to the aspect ratio dial is quite accurate.

But it also shared this:

  • left to the aspect ratio dial there will be the S, C, M selector
  • right to the aspect ratio dial there will be the AEL AFL button
  • the crop zoom lever would be better defined as a “toggle lever”, so it’s something between a lever and a dial (as far as I understand it looks more like the ON/OFF switch, but you can toggle it right or left, and then it springs back to the center)
  • width and depth are similar in dimensions to the Fujfilm X-Pro3, but it is a bit higher than the X-Pro3

That’s it for now.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Aspect Ratio Dial Placement

The Fujifilm GFX100RF will introduce a couple of new manual control options.

One of them is a dedicated aspect ratio dial.

In our original rumor we said it would be placed “on the back of the camera“.

Many fellow FR-reader wondered how that would exactly be implemented.

Well, I will try to answer your question as good as I can in this rumor.

But a disclaimer first: since I have not seen the camera, all I can do is to try to give you a rough indication on what to expect based on feedback from sources.

Hence, below you can see a quick and rough rendering I made based on what I hear from sources.

But again, this is far from being 100% accurate, and yet it should give you an pretty good idea on what to expect.

Fujifilm GFX100RF “The Enemy of Art is the Absence of Limitations” – Opinion Piece

Scott has written an article where he reasons about the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF based on the rumors we have shared.

Besides sharing some wonderful images, the article also explores the creative challenges and overall potential of the Fujifilm GFX100RF, emphasizing how limitations, such as a single focal length, can sharpen creative instincts and lead to more intentional, expressive work. The piece suggests that embracing constraints in equipment can enhance artistic vision and freedom.

And he quotes Orson Welles, who said: “The enemy of art is the absence of limitations”

I thought it might be interesting to share this as a way to shift focus from the technical rumors and specifications and instead highlight what a camera like the GFX100RF can bring to our photography through its fixed-lens concept. This aspect might actually be the most significant feature of this camera, even if it doesn’t appear on any spec sheet. After all, an inspirational boost can do more for the growth of our photography than a megapixel boost.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Will NOT Have a Hybrid Viewfinder

We often refer to the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF as the bigger brother of the Fujifilm X100VI.

But there will be one crucial difference: according to our trusted sources (THANKS!), the Fujifilm GFX100RF will not have a hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder, but “only” an electronic viewfinder.

I guess this choice was necessary not only to contain the price (the hybrid viewfinder is an expensive part of the camera), but also to contain its size, because FujiRumors readers know that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will be “about as big” as the Fujifilm X-Pro3.

But for stuff that goes, other (and quite intriguing one) makes his debut on this camera, as we reported here.

Fujifilm GFX100RF: Crop Zoom Lever Additional Information

We recently reported that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will have a “crop zoom lever” under the shutter button.

At that time when I received the rumor, I did not exactly know what “under” means, so I did a random GFX100RF rendering with a huge lever integrated in the shutter button mechanism.

But thanks to sources (THANKS!!), we can now be more specific about it.

The crop zoom lever sits below the shutter button and below the command dial (and is not an integrated part of the shutter as my mock-up showed).

So you have the classic shutter button with ON/OFF switch, under that the command dial, and under that the Crop lever.

I hope this clarifies the location of the lever and I apologize if my random rendering created a misunderstanding. But just as you, I have no clue how this camera looks like and I am putting puzzle pieces together along with you.

Thanks again to sources!
