It allows the capture of rich and realistic images in a scene where there is a huge gap between highlight and shadow, or subjects with high color saturation.

   ^*4 Only compatible with H.265(HEVC). Please enjoy with television or display compatible with HLG formats.

2. Simultaneous output of Film Simulation and F-Log footage^*5
   Supports simultaneous output of Film Simulation and F-Log footage. It allows you to record in F-Log while checking Film Simulation image on an external monitor.

   Also, cannot choose different image size (4K/FHD) for HDMI output and internal SD card recording.

3. Recording over 4GB movie file as one file
   Movie files are no longer split when the file reaches 4GB file size. The file is recorded as one file providing an SD memory card greater than 32GB is used (excludes 32GB) ^*6.

   *6 By using SD memory cards less than or equal to 32GB, movie recording will continue without
   interruption when the file size reaches 4GB, however subsequent footage will be recorded to a separate file.

4. Display color temperature (Kelvin) on EVF/LCD
   Color temperature (Kelvin) can be displayed on EVF/LCD.
5. Supports slower shutter speeds with DCI4K/4K 29.97P/25P/24P/23.98P ^*7

Firmware Version:
[ FUJIFILM X-H1 Ver. 2.00 : December 2018 ]

1. In-body image stabilization and optical image stabilization now work together to improve overall stability
   With an XF or XC optical image stabilized lens, in-body image stabilization worked with 3 axis (up and down / optical axis rotation). The remaining 2 axis (right and left pitch, yaw angle) was controlled by optical image stabilization in the lens. This firmware has a new image stabilization algorithm to allow the in-body image stabilization to work in all 5 axis and to achieve more than five-stops (up to the equivalent of 5.5 stops ^*10 ) image stabilization by cooperative control according to the types of frequency and blur amount.
   To activate this function, lenses are necessary to be updated to latest firmware version (new firmware version 1.11 only for XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro) . Please check the latest firmware version from the link below.

*11 Not compatible with XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS and XC50-230mmF4.5-6.7 OIS.

2. Improved in-body image stabilization performance
Eliminate image shake when panning slowly when movie recording or on the live view image.

3. Recording over 4GB movie file as one file
Movie files are no longer split when the file reaches 4GB file size. The file is recorded as one file providing an SD memory card greater than 32GB is used (excludes 32GB) ^*12 .

*12 By using SD memory cards less than or equal to 32GB, movie recording will continue without
interruption when the file size reaches 4GB, however subsequent footage will be recorded to a separate file.

4. Display color temperature (Kelvin) on EVF/LCD
Color temperature (Kelvin) can be displayed on EVF/LCD.

5. Display power supply icon
Power supply icon is displayed on EVF/LCD while using AC adapter (AC-9VS), or Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD ^*13 and Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD ^*14.
