Hello:

Does anyone have a download link for the Gfx100rf user manual?   I’d like to get a head start on learning this camera while on backorder.

I cannot find it anywhere either so it seems like a case of patience while we wait.

OK I guess I will need to be patient. I did download the manual for the closest spec detachable lens version of 100mp sensor camera but there are quite a few operational differences.  I didn’t want to even bother attempting that manual!

For this issue, YouTube has started to become my best friend, through repetitious watching of some specific movie files.  
 

I appreciate your reply.

Fantastic thanks for the link!  Now I need to start reading up on this great camera.  Hope my backorder fills soon.  Ordered the day after my dealer started taking orders so hopefully there are not 500,00 orders ahead of me!  

Also am a bit concerned that my US-based dealer will jack the price because of impending tariffs.  IF yes, my backorder will be a distant memory because I will not pay a cent more than advertised when I placed my order.  Emailed my vendor and they were ambiguous in their reply.   I don't know their policy on price fluctuations for backordered products.

somewhat jealous but DO enjoy your new machine!    I just checked with my retailer here in the States and I'm still on backorder with no other updates.   Our dealer initially thought deliveries should start by the end of April.  Guess I'll have time to read up on the new RF.

I have two niggles. The On/Off switch is very easily put on when camera is put in or out of a bag. The other small niggle is the front cover that clips onto the hood, is similarly easily no longer solidly on, when put into a bag and the sides of the bag touch it!

Apart from those minor irritations, very happy with my choice.

Still looks like a great camera but unfortunately I had to cancel my backorder.

I have slight tremors, not Parkinson’s. Did some testing at 60th of a second at F4 on an A7cr with a 25mm prime mounted. With image stabilization turned off on the cr, the files are mush when viewed at 200%.  With stabilization turned on I can shoot my Sony camera easily add a 15th of a second and the images are tack sharp at the same magnification.

I can’t justify spending $5000 on a camera only  to have some of its capabilities unusable because of that lack of a beneficial feature. 

I hope you enjoy your new machine!

Sorry to hear about that, yes I like the RF very much, the two niggles aside, haven’t taken any images under 1/60th yet, but I like the way it handles, going to be a keeper for sure. I also have a Nikon Z6III with lenses up to 300mm.

    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
    • I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
