OVERVIEW
Large-Format Cinematic Vision, Reimagined
The FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 ushers in a new era of digital cinema with one of the tallest large-format sensors available. Its 30 x 45mm open gate canvas expands your angle of view with both spherical and anamorphic lenses, unlocking perspectives typically reserved for much larger imaging formats. Whether you’re capturing sweeping wides or intimate character studies, ETERNA 55 brings a distinctly cinematic scale to every frame.
Digital Film Science: Color You Can Trust
Decades of FUJIFILM color science converge in GFX ETERNA 55. Build your look in-camera with 20 built-in Film Simulations, harness the expansive gamut and dynamic range of F-Log2 C, or take full control of color pipelines by creating and loading custom 3D Film Simulation LUTs. From high-end episodics to nimble indie sets, ETERNA 55 ensures your images remain cinematic and consistent across productions of every size.
Open Gate Freedom with Flexible Recording Areas
ETERNA 55’s large-format open gate mode offers an expansive digital negative that’s ideal for reframing, VFX, and anamorphic workflows. When projects call for a different look or lens coverage dictates a smaller image circle, choose from Full-width DCI, 35mm, Super 35, and other crop modes tailored to your deliverables and lens set. This flexibility makes ETERNA 55 a camera that adapts to your story—never the other way around.
Lens Versatility: Native G Mount + PL with Cooke /i
ETERNAs native FUJIFILM G Mount grants access to a growing ecosystem of FUJINON GF primes and zooms that cover the camera’s full open gate area. For classic cinema glass and specialty optics, the included PL Mount adapter extends compatibility to decades of lenses, while built-in Cooke /i connections capture valuable lens metadata for streamlined VFX, color, and post workflows. Choice matters—GFX ETERNA 55 preserves it.
Built-In Variable ND: Exposure, Perfected
Dial in exposure without changing your T-stop or altering depth of field. The internal variable ND enables precise light control, accelerates pace on set, and maintains optical performance—especially critical when working wide open or when time is tight between setups.
Professional Power and Connectivity
Designed for production realities, ETERNA 55 integrates industry-standard connections and power solutions. SDI offers reliable video output for monitoring and recording. A 2-pin LEMO DC input supports robust power delivery and rig integration, while V-Lock compatibility slots the camera into established on-set ecosystems. In a category-first move, you can even hot-swap an internal NP-W235 rechargeable battery to keep rolling through critical moments.
Dual Menu Screens: Access from Either Side
Two menu screens—one on each side of the body—allow assistants and operators to simultaneously access critical settings. On larger crews, the feature eliminates bottlenecks around the camera. On leaner productions, it lets team members remain in position and still make adjustments, saving steps and preserving momentum.
Durability Without the Bulk
A metal alloy chassis with aluminum components provides rugged reliability while staying compact and lightweight for handheld, gimbal, or steadicam work. From narrative sets to fast-paced commercial environments, the GFX ETERNA 55 is built to endure with the ergonomics to match.
4K Recording with Cinematic Scale
Deliver stunning 4K imagery enriched by the camera’s large-format sensor characteristics. The scale of the 30 x 45mm sensor imparts a unique spatial rendering and subject separation you can see in every frame—regardless of whether you’re shooting open gate or in one of the camera’s 35mm or Super 35 crop modes.
Post-Friendly Metadata and LUT Workflows
Cooke /i lens data captured through the PL adapter and FUJIFILM’s robust color tools streamline everything from dailies to the final grade. Create and load 3D Film Simulation LUTs suited to your look and deliver confidently, knowing your color intent travels intact from set to finishing.
Who It’s For
GFX ETERNA 55 is ideal for filmmakers seeking large-format depth and presence, cinematographers who want maximal lens flexibility, and productions that need dependable connectivity and color management. Whether you’re crafting features, series, commercials, branded content, music videos, or documentaries, ETERNA 55 offers the look and workflow to elevate your project.
