Because the GFX ETERNA 55 is designed for filmmaking, it is naturally expected to record continuously. This results in heat generation from the constantly active sensor, and effective heat dissipation is crucial. The goal was to enable unrestricted recording time. To meet this goal, additional heat-dissipating metal components were incorporated, and the internal structure was redesigned\u2014distinct from that of still cameras\u2014to withstand long takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=576 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=300&amp;height=169 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=768&amp;height=432 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=400&amp;height=225 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=365&amp;height=205 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=600&amp;height=338 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=417&amp;height=235 417w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=717&amp;height=403 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=936&amp;height=527 936w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_10.jpg?width=512&amp;height=288 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To further enhance usability for filmmakers, a new dual-base ISO system was developed, allowing ISO 800 and ISO 3200 to be individually fixed and controlled. Additionally, the GFX ETERNA 55 is equipped with native G mount support and a PL mount adapter, enabling compatibility with a wide range of lenses\u2014just like the GFX100 II\u2014making it possible to shoot in various formats. One particularly notable new feature is the 48fps open gate mode. This newly designed drive mode utilizes the sensor\u2019s full light-sensitive area of 43.63mm \u00d7 32.71mm, enabling 4:3 aspect ratio shooting with greater vertical resolution and a three-dimensional feel to the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=576 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=300&amp;height=169 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=768&amp;height=432 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=400&amp;height=225 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=365&amp;height=205 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=600&amp;height=338 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=417&amp;height=235 417w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=717&amp;height=403 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=936&amp;height=527 936w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_05.jpg?width=512&amp;height=288 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in adapting the sensor for filmmaking use was the inclusion of an optical low-pass filter (OLPF) in front of the sensor. The OLPF helps align the separated RGB Bayer pattern more precisely, delivering clean and accurate color information to the sensor. Traditional film captures RGB information across three separate layers, and this low-pass filter emulates that film-like look, achieving a similar visual softness while reducing moir\u00e9 and false color artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=576 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=300&amp;height=169 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=768&amp;height=432 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=400&amp;height=225 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=365&amp;height=205 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=600&amp;height=338 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=417&amp;height=235 417w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=717&amp;height=403 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=936&amp;height=527 936w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_12.jpg?width=512&amp;height=288 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another major enhancement is the integration of an internal electronic ND filter designed for large-format sensors. It covers a density range from ND0.6 to ND2.1, enabling seamless light reduction from 2 to 7 stops, with five stops of smooth transition in between. Development of the electronic ND filter began a year prior to the development of the GFX ETERNA 55, with repeated prototyping and input from other departments. One of its standout features is the ability to finely modulate light attenuation in precise 0.05-stop increments (ND0.015). This level of granularity allows nearly imperceptible transitions in exposure\u2014a key strength of the GFX ETERNA 55. Achieving this required detailed individual tuning of each unit, a process Fujifilm has routinely employed since the days of still cameras. Size was another challenge. Larger components are more prone to distortion, so extensive testing was conducted to integrate the system without compromising image quality. Ultimately, it was the fusion of analog and digital expertise that made the development of the GFX ETERNA 55 sensor a success. We hope creators will fully explore the beautiful cinematic expression this camera enables\u2014especially by making the most of its low-pass filter and electronic ND filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=1024&#038;height=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-313388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=1024&amp;height=576 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=300&amp;height=169 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=768&amp;height=432 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=400&amp;height=225 400w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=365&amp;height=205 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=600&amp;height=338 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=417&amp;height=235 417w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=717&amp;height=403 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=936&amp;height=527 936w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/gfx-eterna-55_delopment-stories-2_04.jpg?width=512&amp;height=288 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GFX ETERNA 55 uses the custom-built sensor of the GFX100 II.One of the most significant differences from still cameras is the presence of a cooling fan.
