resolution and speed in the next evolution of the X-Series.
Equipped with a new 40.2-megapixel sensor, the X-H2 offers unrivalled image quality for stills and video,
unlocking a world of creative possibilities far beyond any previous model
APS-C format ever before.
The X-Trans CMOS 5 HR high-resolution 40.2MP sensor features an enhanced image processing algorithm that increases resolution without reducing signal-to-noise ratio and delivers stunning image quality.
Combined with the high maximum magnification ratio of the APS-C sensor, 40.2MP macro images capture details with remarkable sharpness, including those that are undetectable to the naked eye.
The X-Trans CMOS 5 HR has an improved pixel structure that enables more efficient light reception. ISO 125 - previously an extended sensitivity - is now available as a standard sensitivity.
The X-H2 has a maximum electronic shutter speed of 1/180,000, an increase of approximately 2.5 stops compared to other X-Series cameras. Use it with a wide aperture in extremely bright environments for more creative options, or let it freeze the action at the perfect millisecond.
The X-H2 is the first X-Series camera to feature Pixel Shift Multi Shot, and with the help of Pixel Shift Combiner software, it can create a single 160MP ultra-high resolution image with a single press of the shutter button.
Using an in-body stabilisation system that shifts the sensor by half a pixel between shots, the X-H2 produces exactly 20 shots to ensure that every red, green and blue pixel has the same information. The result is a final image with almost no visible false colours.
The X-H2 supports the HEIF image format, which provides 10-bit image quality in files up to 30% smaller than standard JPEG. The next chapter in delivering high quality results directly from the camera has officially begun for the X-Series.
In addition to producing 40.2MP high-resolution stills, the X-H2 can also record exceptional 8K/30P video in 10-bit 4:2:2 color that can be recorded internally to either an SD memory card or Cfexpress Type B.
The X-H2 supports Apple ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 and ProRes 422 LT formats. When recording in ProRes* format, ProRes 422 Proxy is also available, making it easier to edit 8K video and streamline post-production workflows.
*Proxy is not available for 8K/30P and 8K/25P recording.
The new 4K HQ mode produces 4K video with 8K oversampling, resulting in a high-quality image that takes full advantage of the camera's 40.2MP sensor.
The X-H2 uses the same heat-dissipating design as the X-H2S and can record 8K/30P for approximately 160 minutes*
*When recording video at 25℃ from a cold start, with auto shutdown temperature set to High, H.265 4:2:0, 200 Mbps bitrate, and VG-XH vertical battery grip using three attached batteries. The length of recording depends on the remaining battery charge and the type and capacity of the memory card used. When the main unit gets hot, recording can stop automatically.
The X-H2 is equipped with a focus meter that can be used to assist MF during movie recording, allowing more precise focus adjustment. It can also be used in combination with the focus peaking function.
In addition to F-Log, the X-H2 also supports F-Log2, which records an extended dynamic range of 13+ degrees.* This range is wider than the current F-Log, expanding post-production potential.
*When recording F-Log2 based on Fujifilm's internal testing.
When combined with a compatible HDMI recording device from Atomos or Blackmagic Design, the 12-bit RAW video output from the X-H2 can be recorded as Apple ProRes RAW or Blackmagic RAW at resolutions and frame rates up to 8K and 29.97 frames per second.
The X-Processor 5 features Deep Learning-based subject detection autofocus that automatically detects and tracks a wide range of subjects, including animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes and trains - as well as human faces and eyes. Filmmakers can focus on composition and creativity with the confidence that the X-H2 will accurately track focus.

The X-H2's higher pixel count increases the number of phase detection pixels, improving the accuracy of AF-S focusing on subjects including landscapes and portraits. The camera also incorporates an improved AF prediction algorithm, newly developed for the X-H2S, which enables stable focusing even when using AF-C. The X-H2S excels at tracking moving subjects using the power of the stacked sensor, while the X-H2 excels at precise AF for static subjects.
The X-H2 features a Digital Zoom* function that uses the camera's 40.2MP sensor to achieve up to 2x digital zoom with little or no loss of resolution when recording 4K video, even with the base lens attached. When used with the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens, you get twice the reach and a smooth transition to the digital zoom function when the lens reaches its maximum focal length.
*Three modes are available: 4K HQ, 4K DCI HQ and FHD
The five-axis in-body image stabilisation system offers up to seven levels of compensation. This powerful feature, enabled by the X-Processor 5 and the shooting control function, gives freedom of handheld operation in conditions that would previously have required support. In addition, the in-body image stabilization feature allows precise image sensor shift for the camera's Pixel Shift Multi Shot function.
The high-resolution electronic viewfinder has 0.8x magnification and uses 5.76 million dots for incredible detail. A refresh rate of approximately 120 frames per second makes it easy to look into the viewfinder even at extreme angles by suppressing blur and distortion.
The X-H2 is equipped with 79 weather-sealed points to ensure a high level of dust and moisture resistance. It can withstand the harsh conditions of everyday professional use and can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C. A top-panel LCD display, adjustable AF-ON button sensitivity, 1.62 million dots on the LCD monitor with variable angle of view and an independent video recording button all ensure intuitive and convenient operation.
Shutter life has been increased to 500,000 actuations*
*Based on Fujifilm's internal testing.
With the optional FT-XH file transmitter, up to four X-H2S*1/X-H2 cameras can be connected and controlled simultaneously via wired/wireless LAN. This allows the following operations from a browser:
- Check and edit camera settings for each camera
- Start/stop video recording for all cameras
- Save, load and copy camera settings*2.
*Camera settings can be saved to and retrieved from a computer or tablet.
The X-H2 improves on the popular X-H1 handle to provide a more confident feel. This is especially useful when using longer lenses or lenses with high apertures.
The shutter button response has been improved to feel natural and release the shutter at exactly the right moment.
The X-H2 features two card slots - one for a CFexpress™ Type B card and one for a UHS-II SD card. To get the most out of the X-H2's incredible video performance, CFexpress™ Type B cards should be used.
Video operation has never been easier thanks to a separate video record button and a variable-angle 1.62-megapixel LCD monitor that can be fully rotated even with HDMI and microphone cables connected. A full-size HDMI Type A port is also available.
