Interview: Fuji Guy Billy Talks Fujifilm X-H1 With Big Head Taco

• 7 years ago

Fuji Guy Billy showed up at Big Head Taco’s for an interview to continue promoting the Fujifilm X-H1. Most of the details are rehashed, but there are a few new ones like, relay recording, that make we wonder why the X-H1 wasn’t designed with an unlimited record time. If the recording limitations are hardware related than it’s likely that a future X-H1 will have an unlimited record time like the GH cameras, which is very useful for some videographers.

• First thing the shutter feels so different there is no shutter shock
• More Robust
• Brough Color Science to the video side of things
• A lot of improvements to look at for the video side of things
• Equally good in Stills and Video unlike the GH cameras
• Lenses are the big advantage over full frame competitors
• Very customizable
• No one else made film/instant cameras/instant film/cameras/lenses/photo labs/etc… except Kodak could have said it in the past but their cameras weren’t very good.
• MK lenses have electronic contacts on X-mount, but not E-mount
• IBIS works best with lenses that have electronic contacts because it can tell subject distance
• Fujifilm believes in dials because they make you feel more connected because you’re not diving into menus
• Sub monitor changes depending on the mode you’re in.
• Silent mode lets you change all your settings on the touch screen so your mic won’t pick up the dials moving
• Video mode lets you auto continue from one card to the next when filming.
• 30 min recording limit with grip and 15 min without, but if you use an external recorder there is no limit.
• Body is USB chargeable
• Booster lets you Plugin and shoot
• You can tether and there is a cable lock included
• The X-H1 currently had an advantage shooting high-frequency low contrast objects
• You can set up a function button to toggle on 120fps
