High Frame Rate Shooting with the Fujifilm X-H1

This was literally my first outing with the X-H1 to try out its high frame rate HD video and autofocus capabilities. All footage shot in HD @ 100fps with Eterna profile.

I just had the kit zoom with me at the time with a variable ND filter on the front. The camera was set to continuous autofocus, no special settings, it did a pretty good job though you can see a couple of very brief jitters. All in all it felt responsive and better than my GH5.

The soundtrack was recorded using the Dreadbox Erebus and Nyx semi-modular analogue synthesizers.

I should mention that the camera was running original factory firmware. I understand a latest firmware update from Fujifilm addresses autofocus improvements amongst other things.

About

I am a photographer and musician living and working in London UK. I have been engaged in photography for over 35 years, dating back to my early teens when I owned my first film camera, a Zenit-E SLR.

I had the great fortune at that early age to be able to start experimenting with developing film and making prints, and by the time I was 16 I worked in the darkroom of a major wedding photographers in South London.

In the years that have passed, photography has been a constant creative outlet for me, I also compose and record music and have been doing so all my working life. For the last five years I have adapted my skills to independent filmmaking and the composition of music suitable for soundtracks.
