Overview

Stacked Sensor and 64-Bit Processing

X-Trans 5 Stacked BSI Sensor

The first X Series camera to feature a stacked sensor, the X-H2S sports an APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans 5 stacked BSI sensor, which ups the readout speeds and improves low-light performance compared to previous generations. First, as an X-Trans sensor, it uses the unique color filter array that inherently minimizes moiré and contributes to more natural color rendering; next, the BSI design helps reduce noise and improve tonality and clarity; and, finally, the stacked design greatly reduces rolling shutter and other motion distortion to better suit high-speed video and photo photo applications.

X-Processor 5

Partner to the newly designed sensor is a fresh engine—the X-Processor 5—which uses 64-bit processing to realize 3x faster speeds for both video and photo tasks compared to the X-T4. On the video side, this enables recording at up to 6.2K with high bitrates like ProRes 422 HQ or at high speeds, like with 240 fps recording at Full HD.

 

On the stills end, this quick processing means faster shooting to suit photographing moving subjects. When working with an electronic shutter, shooting at up to 40 fps is possible, with a buffer of 140 consecutive uncompressed raw frame. With the mechanical shutter, shooting speeds up to 15 fps are possible, along with the ability to shoot upwards of 1000 raw frames in a single burst.

Benefitting both video and stills applications, this processing also benefits the sophisticated and AI-backed autofocus system, helps achieve a 14-stop dynamic range, and enables a broad sensitivity range from ISO 160-12800.

Powerful Video Capabilities

4K 120p and 6.2K 30p Internal Recording

With a penchant for video, the X-H2S has a well-rounded recording system that places this camera squarely in the 'hybrid' category and performs equally well for video as it does for video. Internal 4:2:2 10-bit recording is possible in both DCI/UHD 4K at up to 120p and Full HD at up to 240p as well as an open-gate 3:2 6.2K setting that's suitable for anamorphic applications. A variety of codecs are supported as well, including H.265 and three tiers of ProRes: the high bitrate 422 HQ, the standard 422, and the more compressed 422 LT. Also, continuous recording times up to 90 minutes are possible at all frame rates and resolutions.

External Raw Recording

Using the full-size HDMI port, raw video recording is possible when paired with a compatible external recorder. Both ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW recording is possible, along with the ability to work with F-Log or F-Log 2 profiles, and either format supports working in resolutions up to the open-gate 6.2K.

Improved Autofocus and Image Stabilization

Hybrid AF with Deep Learning AI

Benefitted by the improved processing, autofocus performance is noticeably faster and more intelligent. This hybrid focusing system uses 425 phase-detection points and is now sensitive down to -7 EV for working in truly low-light conditions. Also, backed by deep learning, an AI adaptive algorithm means this focusing system is better suited to automatically detect and track a variety of subject types. Compared to previous focusing systems, the X-H2S's Face and Eye Detection capabilities have been refined for greater accuracy and to account for unique features, like glasses, face coverings, and hairlines. Also, the range of recognized subjects types has been expanded to include cars, planes, trains, motorcyclists, birds, horses, dogs, cats and more.

In-Body Image Stabilization

Built-in 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 7 stops. This system works in conjunction with most X Series lenses, including non-stabilized ones, and benefits working with slower shutter speeds and when shooting in difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, digital image stabilization can also be used during video recording to further aid in steadying footage, especially when recording handheld.

Body Design

Practical and Durable Design

  • Large OLED electronic viewfinder features a crisp 5.76m-dot resolution and a 0.8x magnification for bright, clear, and detailed eye-level viewing.
  • Rear 3.0" LCD has a high 1.62m-dot resolution and a touchscreen interface for intuitive control. Also, its vari-angle design means the screen can be flipped out to the side, tilted up or down, and closed with the screen against the body for protection.
  • 1.28" monochrome LCD screen on the top plate is a simple means for quickly reviewing shooting settings.
  • Dual memory card slots include one CFexpress Type B slot and one SD UHS-II slot for file-saving flexibility. The CFexpress Type B slot should be prioritized for higher bitrate video recording and fast continuous shooting, and the SD slot is a convenient alternative for backups or less speed-critical shooting.
  • NP-W235 battery provides approximately 720 frames per charge when working with the EVF in Economy Mode, or approximately 580 frames in Normal Mode.

Connectivity

  • Full-size HDMI Type A port for outputting video to an external recorder or monitor.
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port supports tethering, data transfer, and in-camera battery charging.
  • 3.5mm headphone and external microphone ports for greater control over audio recording.
  • PC sync port for flash sync.
  • 2.5mm remote port for using wired remote controllers.
  • Integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity allows for wirelessly sharing images to a mobile device or to use the device to remotely control the camera.

Film Simulation Modes

Film Simulation modes allow you to reproduce the look and feel of several of FUJIFILM's film types, including Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg., Nostalgic Neg., Pro Neg. Hi, Pro Neg. Standard, Eterna, Eterna Bleach Bypass, Acros, Monochrome, and Sepia. Additionally, Grain Effect can be adjusted as well as Color Chrome effect to fine-tune the look of imagery.

The next generation of Fujifilm cameras
Love this camera - seeing footage in F-Log (and F-Log2) is pretty incredible. I also got the grip and it fits really nicely. It's expensive as heck, and for most people the $999 X-T3 is a better purchase, but nothing beats the speed/focus/quality out of this new X-Trans V. Very, very happy with the purchase. As an owner of the new 18mm, 23mm, and 33mm lenses - this was a no-brainer purchas

Huge step up from the X-T4
I've had the X-H2s since release and it's blown me away in several departments. First of all, the autofocus has been improved tremendously over the X-T4. I have been able to rely on it shooting a variety of subjects in motion. Secondly, the new video features are amazing. ProRes internal recording, F-log2's 14 stops of dynamic range, plus the ability to record open gate 6.2k, these have been game changers for me. As an added bonus, I have not experienced overheating while recording (I haven't used 120FPS). Third, the ergonomics of this camera are great, I love the button layout and controls. The 7 custom modes might seem like overkill, but I've programmed them all. The build quality is excellent, I have no doubts that it will survive in the long haul. My only gripe is that I wish the memory card door was a little more sturdy.

With outstanding fuji color (film simulations), a great selection of compact lenses and all of the features I need for both stills and video, I can't think of a better camera than the X-H2s for my work. My X-T4 will be relegated to B camera. I can't wait to see some of these features trickle down to the future X-T5.

Great Hybrid Camera
I shoot mainly surf photography, but have used this camera on a couple of shoots for local rock bands. It has worked well in the low light environment for both pictures and videos. I am looking forward to using it for some surf photography

X-H2S vs X-T4
I shoot with the Fujifilm X-T4 a lightweight APS-C camera that does a great job. But I've become interested in getting photos of birds and wanted better autofocus for that purpose. I have now been using my X-H2s for about 3 weeks and it does a great job of quickly finding and focusing on birds in the air or at rest. In the viewfinder I can see the little focus box appear around the bird; magical.
