Features

What it does, and why that matters

On set

ETERNA — a name that means eternal

What once lived on celluloid returns in the digital age. Building on over ninety years of Fujifilm colour science, GFX ETERNA 55's large format sensor delivers imagery with the depth, warmth and nuanced tone traditionally reserved for film — in a camera designed around how crews actually work.

Sensor — 01

Large format, tuned for motion

The 44x33mm sensor carries a specially designed optical low-pass filter optimised for filmmaking, using a four-point separation method that effectively reduces moiré and false colour.
