FUJIFILM has made the GFX100RF digital camera available in the Philippines. The first digital camera under the GFX series with a built-in lens retails for PhP 319,990.

Also the lightest model under the series at 735 grams, the latest offering makes high-resolution photography more accessible to a wider range of users.

When compared to mirrorless cameras, the FUJIFIM GFX100RF is slightly larger, yet it is already small and compact enough for a medium format shooter.

Large format, high-resolution images in compact body

The GFX100RF features a high-speed GFX 102MP CMOS II image sensor which is 1.7 times larger than a 35mm full-frame sensor.

This has an evolved pixel structure and micro-lenses that enable wide dynamic range and low-noise photography. Users can also enjoy further improvements in peripheral image quality and AF accuracy.

The camera also features a newly-developed 35 F4 lens, which delivers a versatile angle of view (28mm in 35mm format). This way, it can deliver high performance in a wide range of situations, including landscapes, travel, snapshots, and portraits.

AI technology also improves the subject detection, high-speed, and high-precision AF functions on the camera. Moreover, the camera is also powered by the X-Processor 5 image processing engine.

Outstanding image quality

The GFX100RF achieves high resolution performance by suppressing spherical aberration and field curvature, among others, through a lens configuration of 10 elements in 8 groups. This includes two aspherical lenses.

FUJIFILM has a newly developed a nano-GI coating optimized for lenses with large curvature. This suppresses light reflection even in the lens’ peripheral areas. The result is high resolution performance for the GFX series.

The GFX series is also the first to feature a 4-stop ND filter built into the camera. This is useful for shooting at maximum aperture in bright environments and for shooting with slow shutter speeds.

The leaf shutter allows flash photography regardless of shutter speed, increasing the flexibility of shutter speeds and expanding the range of expression, even when shooting outdoors in daylight.

High performance

The FUJIFILM GFX100RF is also equipped with an AF prediction function and face/eye AF. These functions have evolved through the renewal of the algorithm.

They recognize a wide variety of subjects, such as animals, vehicles, birds, and airplanes through AI subject detection AF.

Moreover, the camera has high-magnification, high-definition EVF with a finder magnification of 0.84x and 5.76 million dots.

When using the viewfinder, users will notice that image flow and distortion have been suppressed. This way, subjects are highly visible.

The GFX100RF also supports 4K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video recording at 30 frames per second, as well as ISO 100 standard sensitivity setting.

In addition, the 13+stop “F-log2” provides rich tonal expression and high flexibility in post-production.

Lightweight, optimized design

To pull off an incredibly lightweight form factor, FUJIFILM reviewed the internal structure of the camera body. The top plate of the camera was made using a cutting process from aluminum.

Meanwhile, the lens ring, dials, bottom plate, and other details were all precision-machined from aluminum, enhancing the sense of metal texture when holding the camera in user’s hand and the sense of unity in the design.

Aspect ratio dial

Furthermore, the new camera is the first to feature an Aspect Ratio Dial. It allows users to switch between nine different shooting formats, derived from the photographic film and analog cameras that the brand has provided for many years.

The analog feel of switching and selecting the aspect ratio with the dial makes the shooting experience more enjoyable.

FUJIFILM has likewise included 3:4 and 17:6 aspect ratios. These match the subject and users’ photographic intentions on large-format shooting.

Digital tele-converter function

The company also added a “Digital tele-converter selector” to the front of the camera. The angle of view can be selected quickly and intuitively by operating the lever.

Users can switch the angle of view in three steps to 45mm (36mm in 35mm format), 63mm (50mm in 35mm format), and 80mm (63mm in 35mm format). This allows them to respond flexibly in a variety of shooting scenes.

More functions

The camera also as a new 3.15-inch 2.1MP 2-axis tilt LCD monitor. This makes it possible to take immersive photos.

A new user interface has been added that optimizes the placement of icons when shooting to match the 3:2 aspect ratio of the monitor.

The camera also has a new Surround View function that displays the area outside the shooting range as a semi-transparent or line pattern according to the aspect ratio.

While looking through the viewfinder, users can easily switch between these two modes using a lever, providing a shooting experience that is similar to an OVF, even though it is an EVF.

Insta360 Flow 2 update improves Android support, adds new iOS features

Better Android lens support

Insta360 Flow 2 update improves Android support, adds new iOS features
Excerpt: Better Android lens support

Insta360 has released a major spring update for its Flow 2 series handheld gimbals, bringing wider Android compatibility and new features for iPhone users.

The update focuses on improving how the Flow 2 and Flow 2 Pro work across different devices. It expands support for flagship Android phones while adding new shooting tools for iOS, making hands-free, stabilized video easier to capture without extra gear.

Android finally gets full lens access

One of the biggest changes is native multi-lens support on Android. When paired with the Insta360 app, the Flow 2 series can now access ultra-wide and telephoto lenses on supported devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, vivo, OPPO, and more.

This means users can shoot at full resolution using their phone’s native cameras, whether capturing wide landscapes or zoomed-in details. The update brings Android performance closer to what iPhone users have been getting, especially in more dynamic shooting scenarios like concerts, sports, and vlogging.

The improved lens access also works with features like Widescreen Mode, helping users create smoother, more cinematic footage with better framing flexibility.

Faster 360 panoramas for quick sharing

The Flow 2 series continues to stand out with its ability to capture full 360-degree panoramas. With the new 360 Panorama 2.0, stitching is now 50% faster, producing results in about 20 seconds.

Users can capture everything in one go, then choose their preferred framing afterward. The feature also supports interactive sharing via links, letting viewers pan and explore the image on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Creative templates such as Tiny Planet are also available for quick edits, making it easier to turn panoramic shots into shareable content.

Dual View adds more angles in one take

Dual View Mode introduces multi-angle recording without the need for additional cameras. It allows simultaneous recording using the front and rear cameras, or even dual rear lenses, producing three clips in a single take.

This is useful for creators who want to capture reactions alongside the main shot or experiment with different focal lengths at once. Combined with AI tracking, the feature keeps subjects centered while adding more variety to footage.

Apple Watch control for hands-free shooting

For iPhone users, the update adds Apple Watch control, turning the watch into a remote for the gimbal.

Users can start or stop recording, adjust settings, switch modes, and even control zoom using the Digital Crown. This allows for better control during solo shoots, especially when the phone is mounted on the gimbal at a distance.

Smarter tracking and remote control tools

The update also improves several AI-powered features across the Flow 2 series.

AI Tracker now works across more Android apps, enabling subject tracking during video calls, livestreams, or hands-free recording. Multi-person tracking keeps groups in frame, while Active Zoom Tracking allows up to 15x zoom while maintaining focus on moving subjects.

There’s also a new smartphone remote control feature, which lets users operate the gimbal using a second phone. This adds flexibility for more complex shooting setups without interrupting the shot.

Availability

The update is available now through the Insta360 app and the official website. Compatibility may vary depending on the smartphone model.

The Fujifilm instax mini 13 is your new, favorite plus-one!

Say goodbye to awkward “who’s taking the photo?” debates with the camera that puts you at the center of the frame.

We’ve all been there: you’re at the center of a perfect moment — a sunset rooftop toast or a reunion with your best friends — and you’re stuck behind the screen trying to get the lighting right.

Fujifilm’s new instax mini 13 is here to let you stop worrying about the “how” and start living the “now”.

The first thing you’ll notice is the glow-up. The mini 13 swaps the tech-heavy look for a soft, sculpted aesthetic that feels like a dream in your hand. It comes in five candy-colored hues: Dreamy Purple, Frost Blue, Candy Pink, Lagoon Green, and Clay White.

The biggest flex is you can finally be in the shot. The new dual timers (2 or 10 seconds) mean no more awkward “who’s taking the photo?” debates.

Just prop it up with the included angle adjustment accessory, set the timer, and join the frame.

The tech inside is just as intuitive. A simple twist of the lens powers it on or shifts it into Close-Up Mode, while the Parallax Correction ensures your centered shots actually stay centered.
