Eternatm – Legacy Reimagined for a New Era | Eterna – a name that means ‘eternal’.
Introducing a kind of filmmaking camera, crafted to reflect the creator’s eye and heart. Infused with the depth of Fujifilm’s enduring wisdom, it’s built to create stories that stand the test of time.
The Large Format Sensor
Designed for Filmmakers, Built Around a Large Format Sensor. At the heart of GFX Eterna 55 lies a powerful large-format sensor: 44x33mm (55mm diagonal), far exceeding the traditional 35mm full-frame. Its expansive surface records light in stunning detail, delivering a cinematic aesthetic with unique depth-of-field characteristics that standard formats simply can’t replicate.
Unleashing the Film Stocks
GFX Eterna 55 features 20 Film Simulation modes. Plus, by utilising Fujifilm’s proprietary wide dynamic range, wide-gamut F-Log2 C/F-Gamut C, filmmakers can access ten expertly crafted Film Simulation LUTs that replicate Fujifilm’s iconic film stocks in the digital format.
Electronic Variable ND Filter
GFX ETERNA 55 features a built-in electronic variable ND filter designed specifically for its large format sensor. With a range from ND0.6 to 2.1, it provides up to seven stops of light reduction with smooth, precise control in increments as fine as ND0.015.
Dual Base ISO
GFX ETERNA 55’s large-format sensor, measuring 44x33mm, is approximately 1.7 times larger than a typical full-frame sensor. Its dual base ISOs of 800 and 3200 maximise performance, delivering smooth tonal gradations and exceptional low-noise capabilities. Even in challenging lighting conditions like shadows, backlighting, and nighttime scenarios, it minimises the digital noise often associated with such conditions.
Dynamic Range
GFX ETERNA 55’s wide range Log gamma, F-Log2 C, enables the large format sensor to achieve over 14 stops of dynamic range. From deep shadows to bright highlights, it records the subtle nuances of light without compromise, allowing precise adjustments aligned with the creator’s vision in post-production. Combined with its wide colour gamut recording, this opens up virtually unlimited possibilities for expression in colour and contrast.
Optical Low-Pass Filter
GFX ETERNA 55’s large format sensor is equipped with a specially designed optical low-pass filter (OLPF) that’s optimised for filmmaking. It employs a four-point separation method, effectively reducing moiré and false colours. With a focus on the soft and refined image quality demanded by cinematic expression, GFX ETERNA 55 achieves highly detailed footage that maintains a pleasing smoothness without excessive sharpness.
Autofocus
With a GF Lens attached, GFX ETERNA 55 delivers highly accurate autofocus. The autofocus algorithm leverages the same advanced technology found in FUJIFILM GFX100 II, using deep-learning-based subject detection to quickly and precisely analyse scenes. This enables the camera to maintain sharp focus, even with the large format sensor’s characteristic shallow depth-of-field. Pair it with the new FUJINON GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR, and you get enhanced flexibility and responsiveness on set.
Various Formats
GFX ETERNA 55 supports 4:3 Open Gate recording, fully utilising the expansive imaging area of its large format sensor. In addition to FUJINON GF and Premista lenses, it also supports 8K/4K DCI recording with standard 35mm compatible PL lenses. Moreover, it is compatible with anamorphic lenses and Super 35 format lenses, allowing filmmakers to freely select the desired field of view according to their creative vision.

PL Mount Adaptor
In addition to the standard G Mount, GFX ETERNA 55 comes supplied with PL Mount Adapter G, allowing immediate use of PL Mount lenses without the need for additional accessories.
5.0-inch Large LCD Monitor
Equipped with a 5.0-inch display, this camera boasts a high-resolution panel with 6.22 million dots, making it remarkably easy to check focus and colour accuracy. With a 2000-nit brightness, the screen remains clear and visible even under bright outdoor lighting or harsh backlight.
Dual Side Monitor
To meet the practical needs of shooting environments, GFX ETERNA 55 is equipped with independent 3.0-inch LCD monitors on both sides of the body. These displays provide real-time information such as recording status, exposure, audio levels and recording formats, allowing both the cinematographer and assistant to simultaneously monitor essential data.
Connector Ports
In addition to 12G-SDI and HDMI video output terminals, GFX ETERNA 55 is equipped with a wide range of professional-grade interfaces, including GENLOCK, REMOTE, 12V DC power port, and LENS connector.
Button Layout
The control buttons are thoughtfully arranged to allow seamless operation without interrupting the shoot. In addition to seven customisable buttons, there are a total of 12 buttons integrated with the GUI on both side monitors. This setup enables intuitive and efficient camera operation, even for solo operators.
Battery
GFX ETERNA 55 is designed to accommodate both V-Mount and Fujifilm’s NP-W235 batteries. While using a V-Mount battery as the main power source, the NP-W235 battery can be mounted simultaneously, enabling hot-swapping of the V-Mount battery without interrupting power during shooting.
