The latest video in Fujifilm North America's series looking in depth at the workings of the GFX ETERNA 55 has just dropped.
The Fujifilm GFX ETERNA 55 seems to be making a decent impact in the market. Given that it's a $16,000+ investment, people fairly obviously have a load of questions about it, which Fujifilm North America is addressing in its latest series of videos. Think of it as an in-depth trade show presentation without the crowds and the queues.
These aren't flashy to say the least, but they are extremely information dense.
Video #3 examines the camera's Project Setting menu. Here's how the company describes it: "This tutorial details image format, resolution, and frame rate options, impacting final video quality. Learn about F-Log, HLG, and media recording settings for optimal results."
Here are the previous entries in the series.
