Travelling light

Profoto A1X is compact and powerful. The flash is powered by an on-board rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. This high power battery recycles the flash head fast, removing the need for external battery packs and cables.

Profoto Air TTL

Profoto Air TTL technology allows you to use your camera system’s flash metering with a broad range of Profoto flash heads, from the on-camera A1X to the mighty Pro-10 Generator. Once your lights are in place, you can point, shoot and let your camera worry about the exposure. The wireless Air TTL connectivity, from camera to remote flash heads, saves you time when conditions change on location as the TTL metering will raise and drop the flash output as required. For precise control you can switch to Manual output and dial power up or down. The A1X and A1 speedlight flashes work as AirTTL commander units and as remote lights. Profoto also produce dedicated AirTTL remotes for Canon, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic TTL systems so you can use your familiar Profoto setup across a broad spectrum of cameras.

FUJIFILM LAUNCH THE X-PRO3

Fujifilm Launch the X-Pro3

Fujifilm has pumped its latest technology into its new X-Pro3 rangefinder digital body. This latest release features higher resolution, improved AF and is the most durable Fujifilm body yet. With an unusual rear LCD design Fujifilm prove that, as ever, they are brave enough to be different with a design that pays homage to the company’s analogue photography heritage.

The camera has launched in 3 colour variations Black , Dura Black and Dura Silver  – more on the coatings below.

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 is the third generation of the X-Pro rangefinder-style digital mirrorless camera from Fujifilm. In 2012 the original Fujifilm X-Pro1 launched the X-Series interchangeable lens system. Since then the compact and portable system has been adopted by many documentary and street photographers. The new X-Pro3 has improved on its predecessor the X-Pro2 with: the latest generation sensor and processor, vastly improved AF sensitivity, a new film simulation mode, and an improved viewfinder. We dive into the details below.

4th Generation Sensor & Image Processor

The X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor is combined with the X-Processor 4 image processing engine for flagship image quality and recording performance. This technology was first seen in the Fujifilm X-T3 body and later the X-T30. The X-Pro3 has 26.1 megapixels with phase detection AF pixels built into the sensor. The processor can combine in-camera continuously shot images for HDR rendering and up to 9 frames for multiple exposures in different combination modes. The processor can handle high data-rates for 4k video recording for up to 15 minutes.

Enhanced Build and Durability

The X-Pro3 is built to withstand professional use with improved coatings, build materials and weather sealing

  • External body covers of the X-Pro3 are made from Titanium which is strong, corrosion resistant and light.
  • The X-Pro3 internal chassis is magnesium alloy for even more weight saving.
  • Surface-hardening technology Duratect protects the X-Pro3 from scratches and gives a nice metallic finish applied to Dura Black and Dura Silver versions.
  • Weather sealing applied at 70 points for enhanced moisture and dust resistance.

Improved Auto-Focus

Fujifilm have improved their AF algorithm which will enable auto-focus in lighting conditions of -6EV which is the light cast by a quarter-moon! The new firmware released with the X-Pro3 features an AF range limiter function to increase speed of AF lock-on with any lens. You can use these settings to dial in a focus preset point with any X-series lens.

The Viewfinder

The rangefinder style viewfinder gives you the option of an optical viewfinder or an electronic viewfinder. This lets you choose between a constant view of your subject or a display that represents your exposure and can play back your last shot all within a clear bright viewfinder so that you can keep your eye to the camera.

  • Optical viewfinder responds at the speed of light
  • OVF can be augmented with a smaller EVF window to display exposure simulation, enlarged focus area or pictures taken
  • EVF covers 97% of sRGB colour space for accurate colour reproduction
  • EVF boost mode increases apparent viewfinder smoothness to approx. 200fps
  • EVF delivered by a 3.69 million dot organic EL panel that delivers high contrast and fine detail.

Retro rear LCD panel

The rear LCD monitor on the X-Pro3 hinges down from the back of the camera 180 degrees. When flipped up, see the image below, the screen is closed into the camera. The LCD screen is designed for use when waist-level shooting, shooting overhead, and for accessing the menu and adjusting camera settings.
When the LCD closes, on the rear of the camera there is a small square memory LCD screen that is always on and displays shooting settings such as frames remaining and, ISO and shutter speed. Or it can display the film simulation selected with ISO and white balance. This represents the film windows used to store box-ends on classic analogue cameras to remind photographers what film they had loaded.

The Fujifilm X-Pro range and all other X series cameras are based exclusively around the APS-C sensor size. This commitment to a single sensor dimension means that unlike Canon, Nikon and Sony systems the Fujifilm X-Series lenses are much smaller and lighter as they have never been required to project an image circle that covers a full frame sensor.

Fujifilm state that the X-Pro3 in Black will become from the 28th November and the Dura Black and Dura Silver versions will be available from mid-December.

New Fujifilm GFX 100 announced images

New Fujifilm GFX 100 announced

Fujifilm has launched its next medium format camera, the GFX 100. Fujifilm’s GFX 100 is a medium format camera that performs like a mirrorless with a monstrous 102MP sensor and insanely high-end specs

The new model joins the GFX 50S and GFX 50R, released in 2016 and 2018, respectively. The GFX 100 introduces some major leaps over the prior models, including the new in-body image stabilization and much faster performance. The new 102-megapixel sensor also provides significantly higher resolution, putting the GFX 100 on par with some of the higher-end medium format systems from Hasselblad and Phase One. It’s capable of shooting 4K video and boasts fast autofocus, In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), 10bit internal video recording and much, much more. In fact, the sensor isn’t the only part of the GFX 100 that comes with a big number. The new pro shooter includes some jaw-dropping specs that promise all-round top-notch performance.

Fuji X-H1

The heart of the camera is a newly developed, back illuminated, 102 megapixels, 43.8 x 32.9 CMOS image sensor (Approximately 1.7 times larger than a 35mm Full Frame sensor). Behind you will find the “X-Processor 4” image processing engine (The same that runs the X-T3). The phase detection autofocus system covers 100% of the image sensor, allowing fast accurate tracking. The five-axis IBIS mechanism was developed from the ground up to allow handheld “shake free” operation. Fujifilm has also improved its face- and pupil-detection technology and, the company claims, the GFX 100 will be able to track eyes even when the subject is turning away from the camera or is partially obscured by another object.

Fuji X-H1

Main features

  •  Perfectly suited to being used in a studio and outdoors in harsher environments
  • 102-megapixel back-side illuminated large format sensor (43.8mm x 32.9mm)
  •  In-body 5-axis image stabilisation (IBIS) reduces shake by up to 5.5 stops
