Fujifilm GFX 100, GFX 100S Gets 12-bit Blackmagic RAW via HDMI to Blackmagic Video Assist 12G

More cameras keep getting added to the list of Raw capture, and today Fujifilm opened up 12-bit Blackmagic Raw capture to a Video Assist 12G via the HDMI out of the GFX 100 GFX 100S cameras.

Last year those two cameras got ProRes Raw output using the Atomos Ninja V recorder. Having options is a good thing, especially if you already have the Video Assist 12G. It now opens up Raw recording up to DCI 4K 30 fps at no extra charge.

A nice touch is the ability to simultaneously record to the internal SD card with the Film Simulation/F-Log/Hybrid Log-Gamma. The updates fix bugs on both cameras.

The updates are available now.
Firmware version 1.20 for the GFX 100S and firmware version 4.10 for the GFX 100.
