Mumbai, October 14, 2025 – FUJIFILM India a leader in imaging technology unveils “FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55” (GFX ETERNA 55) in India. The filmmaking camera has been launched at the Broadcast India Show 2025, taking place at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. The “GFX ETERNA 55” features a large format sensor※１ with its diagonal length at approximately 55mm, “GFX 102MP CMOS II HS”, which is approximately 1.7 times larger than a “Full-frame” 35mm sensor, and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5”, enabling filmmakers to capture rich, true to life visuals and have enhanced flexibility in post-production. The “GFX ETERNA 55” delivers rich tonal expression with high image quality and enables more diverse visual expression through our color reproduction technology cultivated over more than 90 years since the company’s founding.
The “GFX ETERNA 55” features a large-format sensor measuring 43.8mm wide by 32.9mm high, making it the world’s tallest large-format sensor※2 designed for filmmaking cameras. This sensor provides an image circle※3 that surpasses full-frame and Super 35mm formats on production sites. As a result, filmmakers can take full advantage of the diagonal approximately 55mm large format sensor with the 4:3 Open Gate “GF format”, as well as choose from five cinema formats: “Premista”, “35mm”, “ANAMORPHIC(35mm)”, and “Super35”. By attaching an included mount adapter such as the “PL Mount Adapter G,” the range of compatible lenses expands, supporting filmmakers in realizing their creative vision and exploring diverse visual expressions.
Mr. Koji Wada, Managing Director, FUJIFILM India, said, “At FUJIFILM India, we are committed to delivering innovative products and solutions that embody our Group purpose of ‘Giving Our World More Smiles.’ By blending diverse ideas, unique capabilities, and extraordinary people, we aim to create solutions that bring joy and smiles to the world. The launch of the GFX ETERNA 55 at the Broadcast India Show underscores our vision of bringing advanced solutions that seamlessly merge technology with artistry, delivering cinematic excellence, enabling filmmakers to capture visuals with unmatched depth, detail, and creative freedom.”
Mr. Arun Babu, Associate Director and Head of Digital Camera, instax™ and Optical Devices Division, FUJIFILM India, further added, “The GFX ETERNA 55 marks a significant step forward in our journey of redefining visual storytelling. The camera opens new horizons for creators across cinema, OTT, advertising, and music videos, through combining a large-format sensor with the brand’s renowned film simulation modes and advanced post-production flexibility, India’s creative ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and with innovations like these, we are equipping professionals with tools that deliver uncompromising image quality alongside enhancing the entire production-to-post workflow.”
Additionally, the camera features FUJIFILM’s unique “Film Simulation,” highly praised in the X and GFX Series camera, which allows users to easily achieve a variety of color tones—much like changing photographic films. Filmmakers can choose preferable film simulation modes among the 20 available film simulation modes for their creatives. The ETERNA series, a cinema color negative film designed to digitally reproduce the beloved cinematic look favored by legendary cinematographers active on Hollywood’s frontlines. The camera can also load up to 16 different LUTs (Look Up Tables), which define color information for footage. This enables consistent color management from shooting through post-production, providing an efficient workflow for filmmakers.
The “GFX ETERNA 55” delivers rich tonal and true-to-life image quality unique to a large format sensor, bringing new value to filmmaking across various genres such as movies, documentaries, commercials, and music videos. Its abundant image data also offers high editing resilience, supporting demanding production workflows.

Product features
(1) Innovative Image Expression enabled by a 44 x 33 large format sensor
Equipped with a 102-megapixel large format sensor, the “GFX 102MP CMOS II HS”. In addition to “GF” using G mount lenses, attaching the included “PL Mount Adapter G” allows support for five cinema formats: “Premista”, “35mm”, “ANAMORPHIC(35mm)”, and “Super35”, enabling diverse visual expressions through the use of a wide variety of lenses. It also supports shooting in a 4:3 open gate format at up to 48 fps, fully leveraging the large image circle sized 43.8mm wide, 32.9mm high, and 54.8mm diagonal.
- The world’s first electronic variable ND filter*4 compatible with large-format sensors is equipped, which achieves precise control, allowing seamless density adjustment from ND0.6 to ND2.1 in 0.015-stop increments during video recording.
- Features a new optical low-pass filter optimized for its large format sensor, adopting a four-point separation method to reduce moiré and false colors.
- Incorporates “DUAL BASE ISO” with two base sensitivities, ISO 800 and ISO 3200. Under extreme severe lighting conditions—whether very bright or very dark—the camera automatically switches base ISO to capture clear images with reduced noise.

(2) F-Log and Film Simulation 3D-LUTs Supporting Shooting to Editing
- The GFX ETERNA 55 features “F-Log2” and “F-Log2 C” with dynamic range of 14+ stops. These allow capturing rich image tonality that take full advantage of the large format sensor, providing greater flexibility in post-production.
- The GFX ETERNA 55 includes 20 types of “Film Simulation” to enable diverse visual styles. Additionally, there are 10 Film Simulation conversion 3D-LUTs (compliant with ITU-R BT.709) for precise color and tone adjustment of footage shot in Log (F-Log2/F-Log2 C). Along with the “ETERNA” and “ETERNA BREACHBYPASS” LUTs announced at launch, users can download a total of 10 3D-LUTs — including “PROVIA/Standard,” “Velvia,” and “ACROS”—from the web for use.
- Up to 16 different 3D-LUTs, including Film Simulation LUTs, can be stored in the GFX ETERNA 55, enabling shooting while previewing the desired look.
(3) Workflow Solutions Supporting Various Codecs and Improved Efficiency
- The GFX ETERNA 55 supports three Apple ProRes*5 codecs, i.e. Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 422 LT. When shooting in Apple ProRes, the camera can use proxy video recording such as Apple ProRes 422 Proxy. Supporting a total of five codecs, it reduces video editing workload to streamline the overall workflow from filming to postproduction.
- The GFX ETERNA 55 can output 4:2:2 10bit uncompressed data and up to 8K/30P 12-bit video in RAW data via HDMI.
- The camera supports the cloud service “Frame.io Camera to Cloud” so that Apple ProRes Proxy files and a variety of other video files can be uploaded directly to Frame.io.Video files can be instantly shared with editing teams located far from the shooting site, greatly enhancing the workflow efficiency from shooting to editing.
※5 Apple ProRes is a trademark of Apple Inc. registered in the United States and other countries.
(4) Compact and lightweight body for functionality and operability
- To support small crews and solo shooting, the body weight has been reduced to approximately 2.0 kg. Additionally, 3-inch side monitors have been placed on both sides to allow multiple users to simultaneously adjust and check camera settings
- The front of the camera and the included handle feature a multi-function dial that controls the focus, zoom, and iris of FUJIFILM GF lenses. When the dial is set to “ND,” it allows fine adjustment of the electronic variable ND filter’s density.
