      Fujifilm GFX100RF manual, in plain English

      Every button, dial and menu setting on the GFX100RF, what it does, and what I'd set it to. The same notes as the 3D camera and menu simulator above, in one place you can search with Ctrl+F.

      Buttons, dials and ports (33)

      Front

      Digital tele-converter selector
      A small lever at the top of the front dial column. Flick it left or right to step the digital teleconverter: off (28mm equivalent), then 36, 50 and 63mm. The screen zooms to match. Tip: At 102MP even the 63mm crop leaves about 19MP, so think of it as a free second and third lens.
      Front command dial
      A vertical dial under your index finger. It sets aperture, shutter speed or other values depending on how the top dials are set, and you can choose its job with the Fn2 button. Tip: Assign ASPECT RATIO to it and set the aspect ratio dial to C to switch formats without looking.
      Control lever and Fn2 button
      Pull the lever toward the lens to swap between the viewfinder and the screen (hold to change what the control ring does); pull it toward the grip to change how the area outside a crop is shown (hold for the ND filter). The button in the middle is Fn2, which picks the front dial’s job. Tip: SEMI-TRANSPARENT crop view lets you see what is about to walk into frame, rangefinder style.
      AF-assist lamp
      Lights to help autofocus in the dark, blinks for the self-timer and can act as a tally light while recording video. Tip: Turn it off in the AF menu for concerts and quiet events.
      FUJINON GF 35mm f/4
      The fixed lens: 35mm on the large sensor gives a 28mm-equivalent view. It has a leaf shutter inside and a built-in 4-stop ND filter, and focuses down to about 20cm. Tip: f/4 on medium format blurs backgrounds about as much as f/3.2 on full frame.
      Front ring
      The trim ring at the front of the lens comes off so the supplied adapter ring and protective filter can go on. With both fitted the camera is dust and drip resistant. Tip: Fit the adapter ring and filter before shooting in rain or dust.

      Top

      Aperture ring
      Sets the aperture from f/4 to f/22 in third stops, with two small tabs to grip. The red A hands aperture to the camera. Tip: f/8 to f/11 keeps a landscape sharp front to back; diffraction softens 102MP files past f/11.
      Control ring
      The wide knurled ring. It can change white balance or film simulation while you shoot, and it focuses the lens when the focus mode selector is on M. Tip: Set it to FILM SIMULATION to switch looks with your eye at the viewfinder.
      Hot shoe
      Takes an external flash or accessory with TTL control. The leaf shutter syncs flash at any shutter speed. Tip: Daylight fill flash at 1/2000s with the ND filter on keeps a bright sky.
      Microphone
      The built-in stereo microphone for video. A 3.5mm mic jack is on the side for better sound. Tip: Plug in an external mic for any video where the sound matters.
      Shutter speed dial
      Sets shutter speed from 1/4000s to 1s in full stops. A lets the camera choose, T unlocks the rear dial for in-between and long speeds, and B is bulb. Tip: Shutter on A and a number on the aperture ring gives you aperture priority.
      ISO dial
      Built into the shutter speed dial: lift the outer ring and turn it, and the value shows in the small window. A is Auto ISO; C hands ISO to the front command dial. Tip: Many owners leave it on C and roll ISO with the front dial.
      Exposure compensation dial
      Brightens or darkens the picture by up to 3 stops (5 on C, using a command dial). Works in every mode except full manual. Tip: Medium format holds highlights well, but -1/3 in bright sun still protects skies.
      Shutter button
      Half-press to focus and meter, press fully to shoot. Threaded for a soft release or a cable release. Tip: A soft release button gives the short travel a more defined feel.
      ON/OFF switch
      The collar around the shutter button turns the camera on and off. Tip: Switch off between scenes: the big sensor and viewfinder use power quickly.
      Fn1 button
      A customizable button beside the shutter. Tip: Put something you change often here, such as the ND filter or face detection.

      Back

      Aspect ratio dial
      A dial unique to this camera: pick from nine aspect ratios (4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 65:24, 17:6, 3:4, 1:1, 7:6, 5:4), or C to choose with a command dial. The viewfinder masks the rest of the frame. Tip: 65:24 is the classic panoramic film ratio; 1:1 and 7:6 echo medium-format film cameras.
      Focus mode selector
      A small lever on the back: single AF (S), continuous AF (C) or manual focus (M). In M the control ring focuses the lens. Tip: Use C for people walking toward you; in M, press the rear dial to magnify and check focus.
      Electronic viewfinder
      A 5.76-million-dot OLED viewfinder at the corner of the body, with an eye sensor that switches between it and the screen automatically. Tip: BOOST · EVF FRAME RATE PRIORITY makes it smoother for moving subjects.
      Diopter wheel
      Adjusts the viewfinder to your eyesight, from -5 to +3. Tip: Turn it until the on-screen text is sharp, not the scene.
      AEL/AFL
      Locks exposure and/or focus while you hold it. It can be reassigned, most often to AF-ON. Tip: Set it to AF-ON for back-button focus.
      Rear command dial
      Sets values in the Q menu, shutter speed in T, scrolls menus and photos. Press it to magnify for focus checking. Tip: Hold its center to cycle MF assist options.
      Q button
      Opens the Quick menu: 16 settings you can change without the full menu. Tip: Press and hold Q to choose what is in it.
      Indicator lamp
      Shows camera status: focus lock, card writing, errors and upload progress. Tip: Blinking while the camera is off means it is uploading to your phone.
      Focus stick
      Moves the focus point and navigates menus. Press it to jump the point back. Tip: Hold its center to choose how it behaves.
      MENU/OK
      Opens the menus and confirms choices. Tip: Add your most-used items to MY MENU.
      DISP/BACK
      Changes what the screen shows and steps back out of menus. Tip: Press it while the Q menu is open in movie mode to see all movie settings.
      PLAY
      Shows your pictures and movies. Tip: Press the rear dial in playback to zoom straight to the focus point.
      DRIVE/DELETE
      Opens the drive modes: single frame, bursts, bracketing, multiple exposure and MOVIE. In playback it deletes. Tip: MOVIE lives here: there is no separate video switch.
      Tilting touchscreen
      A 3.15-inch, 2.1-million-dot screen that tilts up and down. Tap to focus or shoot. Tip: Shooting from the waist with the screen tilted up is quieter and less obvious on the street.

      Sides

      Connector cover
      Behind the door on the viewfinder side: 3.5mm microphone/remote jack, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C (10Gbps, charging, SSD recording, webcam) and micro HDMI. Tip: ProRes records only to an SSD on the USB-C port.
      Card slot door
      Two SD (UHS-II) slots on the grip side: record to one then the other, to both as a backup, or RAW to one and JPEG to the other. Tip: Use UHS-II cards: 102MP bursts clear far faster.
      Battery door
      Holds the NP-W235, the same battery as the X-T5 and GFX100 II, good for about 820 shots on the screen. It charges in the camera over USB-C. Tip: Carry a spare for a full day of shooting.

      Every menu setting (264)

      IMAGE QUALITY SETTING

      IMAGE SIZE
      Picture size. The aspect ratio comes from the aspect ratio dial: L is the full 102MP (11648 × 8736 at 4:3), M is about 51MP (8256 × 6192), S about 12MP (4000 × 3000). The digital teleconverter switches back to L. Recommended: L. Tip: Keep L. At 102MP you can crop hard later and still print big.
      IMAGE QUALITY
      File format and compression. SUPER FINE compresses JPEG/HEIF the least; the +RAW options also save a RAW file. Recommended: FINE+RAW. Tip: FINE+RAW while you learn; SUPER FINE if you print straight from the JPEG.
      RAW RECORDING
      Whether RAW files are compressed (lossless keeps all data at about 30–90% of the size; COMPRESSED is lossy at 25–40%), and OUTPUT DEPTH: 16-bit RAW in single-frame mode, or 14-bit. Recommended: LOSSLESS COMPRESSED. Tip: Lossless compressed: a 102MP uncompressed RAW is over 200MB.
      SELECT JPEG/HEIF
      Records pictures as JPEG or HEIF. HEIF disables CLARITY and forces sRGB. Recommended: JPEG.
      FILM SIMULATION
      Simulates Fujifilm film stocks, including the new REALA ACE and black-and-white ACROS and MONOCHROME with yellow, red or green filters. Recommended: CLASSIC CHROME. Tip: CLASSIC CHROME for muted, documentary color, or REALA ACE for true-to-life color. Assign Film Simulation to the control ring to switch on the fly.
      MONOCHROMATIC COLOR
      Tints ACROS and MONOCHROME pictures on two axes, warm–cool and green–magenta, from -18 to +18. Tip: WC +2 on ACROS gives a classic warm print look.
      MONOCHROMATIC COLOR › WARM–COOL
      Positive values add a warm (reddish) tone, negative a cool (bluish) one.
      MONOCHROMATIC COLOR › GREEN–MAGENTA
      Positive values shift toward magenta, negative toward green.
      GRAIN EFFECT
      Adds film grain. Set roughness and size separately. Recommended: WEAK · SMALL. Tip: Weak, small grain adds texture without looking like noise. Strong, large grain suits black-and-white street work.
      GRAIN EFFECT › ROUGHNESS
      How strong the grain is.
      GRAIN EFFECT › SIZE
      How coarse the grain is.
      COLOR CHROME EFFECT
      Adds tonal depth to highly saturated reds, yellows and greens. Recommended: WEAK.
      COLOR CHROME FX BLUE
      Adds tonal depth to blues. Recommended: WEAK. Tip: Deepens skies and water.
      SMOOTH SKIN EFFECT
      Smooths complexions. Tip: Leave it off unless you deliver portraits straight out of camera.
      DYNAMIC RANGE
      Protects highlight detail. 200% needs ISO 160 or higher, 400% needs ISO 320 or higher. Recommended: 200%. Tip: Set your Auto ISO default to 250 so DR200 is always available.
      D RANGE PRIORITY
      Lifts shadows and protects highlights together. Anything but OFF takes over TONE CURVE and DYNAMIC RANGE. Tip: Keep OFF when using film recipes.
      WHITE BALANCE
      Matches color to the light. After picking an option, a fine-tune screen lets you shift it toward red or blue with the focus stick (−9 to +9 on each axis). Recommended: AUTO. Tip: Many film recipes use AUTO plus a fine-tune shift such as R+2 B-4.
      TONE CURVE
      Adjusts highlights and shadows separately, from -2 to +4. Tip: Shadows +1 adds punch; highlights -1 softens bright skies.
      TONE CURVE › HIGHLIGHTS
      Harder (+) or softer (−) highlights.
      TONE CURVE › SHADOWS
      Harder (+) or softer (−) shadows.
      COLOR
      Color density, -4 to +4.
      SHARPNESS
      Sharpens or softens outlines. Tip: -1 or -2 gives a more film-like look.
      HIGH ISO NR
      Noise reduction at high ISO. Higher values smooth more and lose detail. Recommended: -4.
      CLARITY
      Mid-tone definition, -5 to +5. Any value except 0 slows saving. Tip: Leave at 0 for bursts.
      LONG EXPOSURE NR
      Reduces mottling in long exposures, at the cost of longer save times.
      COLOR SPACE
      sRGB for most uses; Adobe RGB for commercial printing. Recommended: sRGB.
      PIXEL MAPPING
      Fixes bright spots in pictures or movies. Charge the battery first; it can take several tens of seconds.
      SELECT CUSTOM SETTING
      Recalls one of seven saved banks (C1–C7). This is how you switch film recipes.
      EDIT/SAVE CUSTOM SETTING
      Saves current settings to C1–C7, edits banks item by item, copies, erases or renames them. Tip: Rename banks after the recipe so you can tell them apart.
      AUTO UPDATE CUSTOM SETTING
      Whether changes made while a bank is active are saved into it automatically. Recommended: DISABLE. Tip: DISABLE stops quick tweaks from changing your saved recipes.

      AF/MF SETTING

      FOCUS AREA
      Positions and sizes the focus frame for AF, MF and focus zoom.
      AF MODE
      How the camera picks the focus area in focus modes S and C. Recommended: SINGLE POINT. Tip: Switch to WIDE/TRACKING with focus mode C for moving people.

      AF MODE ALL SETTING › AF-C
      Focus areas cycled when AF MODE is ALL in focus mode C.
      AF-C CUSTOM SETTINGS
      Tracking presets for continuous AF. Set 6 lets you tune tracking sensitivity, speed tracking sensitivity and zone area switching. Tip: Set 1 handles most situations; Set 2 helps when people pass in front of your subject.
      STORE AF MODE BY ORIENTATION
      Remembers a separate focus point, and optionally AF mode, for vertical and horizontal shooting.
      AF POINT DISPLAY
      Shows individual focus frames in ZONE and WIDE/TRACKING.
      WRAP FOCUS POINT
      Lets the focus point wrap from one edge of the frame to the other.
      NUMBER OF FOCUS POINTS
      How many points you can pick from in single point AF and MF. Recommended: 117 POINTS (9 × 13). Tip: Fewer pushes of the focus stick to cross the frame.
      PRE-AF
      Keeps focusing even when the shutter button is not pressed. Faster, but drains the battery. Recommended: OFF.
      AF ILLUMINATOR
      Lights the AF-assist lamp in dim light. Tip: Turn OFF for discreet street or event work.
      FACE/EYE DETECTION SETTING
      Prioritizes faces, and optionally eyes, for focus and exposure. Turning it on switches subject detection OFF. Recommended: FACE DETECTION ON. Tip: Choose EYE AUTO for people.
      SUBJECT DETECTION SETTING
      Detects and tracks animals, birds, cars, motorcycles and bikes, airplanes or trains. Turning it on switches face detection OFF.
      AF+MF
      After focus locks, turn the focus ring to fine-tune manually. Tip: Great for close-ups at f/4.

      Focus aid in manual focus: split image, microprism, or peaking in a color and level you choose. Recommended: FOCUS PEAK HIGHLIGHT.
      INTERLOCK MF ASSIST & FOCUS RING
      Shows MF ASSIST only while the focus ring is being turned.
      FOCUS CHECK
      Zooms in on the focus area when you turn the ring in MF. Press the rear command dial to cancel. Recommended: ON.
      INTERLOCK SPOT AE & FOCUS AREA
      With SPOT (or MULTI) metering, meters the current focus frame. Recommended: ON.
      INSTANT AF SETTING
      Whether an AF-L or AF-ON button focuses once or continuously in MF.
      DEPTH-OF-FIELD SCALE
      Basis for the depth-of-field scale: screen viewing or prints. Tip: FILM FORMAT BASIS gives practical zone-focus distances.
      RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY
      Whether the shutter fires before focus is confirmed, separately for AF-S and AF-C.
      RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY › AF-S
      Shutter fires only when in focus (FOCUS) or straight away (RELEASE) in AF-S.
      RELEASE/FOCUS PRIORITY › AF-C
      Same choice for AF-C.
      AF RANGE LIMITER
      Limits focus to a distance range for faster AF.
      TOUCH SCREEN MODE
      What tapping the screen does: shoot, focus, or move the focus area. Recommended: AREA. Tip: AREA moves focus without firing, so no accidental shots.

      SHOOTING SETTING

      SELF-TIMER
      Delays the shutter by 2 or 10 seconds. It turns off when the camera turns off. Tip: 2 SEC removes shake from pressing the button.
      SAVE SELF-TIMER SETTING
      Keeps the self-timer setting after the camera turns off.
      SELF-TIMER LAMP
      Lights the front lamp during the countdown.
      INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING
      Takes photos automatically at a set interval, for time-lapses. Use a tripod and check the battery first. Tip: 10 SEC × 300 shots makes a smooth 10-second time-lapse at 30fps.
      INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING › TIMER
      Use the camera's own timer, or a remote release with its own timer.
      INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING › INTERVAL
      Time between shots. On the camera you set any value with the focus stick; these are common choices.
      INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING › NUMBER OF SHOTS
      How many pictures to take. ∞ keeps going until you stop it.
      INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING › START
      When shooting begins. On the camera you set the delay with the focus stick.
      INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING EXPOSURE SMOOTHING
      Smooths exposure between interval shots. Tip: Turn ON for sunsets.
      INTERVAL PRIORITY MODE
      Keeps exposures shorter than the interval when shutter speed is on A.
      AE BKT SETTING
      Settings for exposure bracketing (BKT in the drive menu).
      AE BKT SETTING › FRAMES/STEP SETTING
      Number of shots and exposure step.
      AE BKT SETTING › 1 FRAME/CONTINUOUS
      One shot per press, or the whole sequence in one burst.
      AE BKT SETTING › SEQUENCE SETTING
      Order of the bracketed shots.
      FILM SIMULATION BKT
      The three film simulations recorded each time you press the shutter in FILM SIMULATION BKT drive mode. Tip: PROVIA, CLASSIC CHROME and ACROS compare three looks from one press.
      FILM SIMULATION BKT › FILM 1
      First film simulation saved by FILM SIMULATION BKT.
      FILM SIMULATION BKT › FILM 2
      Second film simulation.
      FILM SIMULATION BKT › FILM 3
      Third film simulation.
      FOCUS BKT SETTING
      AUTO: focus on the nearest and farthest points and the camera works out frames and steps. MANUAL: choose frames, step and interval.
      PHOTOMETRY
      How the camera meters. Only applies when face and subject detection are OFF. SPOT meters 2% of the frame. Recommended: MULTI.
      SHUTTER TYPE
      The leaf shutter in the lens is near silent and syncs flash at every speed; it reaches 1/2000s at f/4 and 1/4000s from f/8. The electronic shutter is silent and goes to 1/16000s, but limits ISO to 80–12800 and turns the flash off. Recommended: MECHANICAL + ELECTRONIC. Tip: MECHANICAL + ELECTRONIC switches to electronic only when f/4 in bright light needs it, or use the ND filter.
      FLICKER REDUCTION
      Reduces flicker under fluorescent and similar lights. Slows recording.
      FLICKERLESS S.S. SETTING
      Allows fine shutter speed steps in S and M to match flickering LED lights.
