2020: The announcement of Fujifilm GFX100 IR - the camera for detection of forgery documents and pictures
At the end of November, 2020 the Fujifilm company submitted the special infrared version of the 100-megapixel sredneformatny GFX100 camera intended for "criminalistic, scientific and cultural researches". The GFX100 IR camera can be used for such purposes as identification of forgery documents or the analysis of pigments in pictures and historical documents.
Using different infrared filters before a lens, photographers will be able to use light waves of different length to reveal the hidden parts of pictures and documents. Besides, "use of the corresponding filter cutting infrared range will allow to apply GFX100 IR in the normal mode (as well as standard GFX100) for obtaining normal color images in a visible range", declared in Fujifilm.
The company did not announce yet at what price the new camera will be on sale, but it is already known that GFX100 IR will extend only several dealers and will fall under action of the special license agreement in which specific conditions of use of the camera are in detail described.
In addition to the new Fujfilm model also provided a firmware for GFX100 with the new feature called by Pixel Shift Combiner. It integrates 16 images of RAW in one image with the resolution of 400 megapixels if the user lacks 100 megapixels for detailing of the image.
These new features are especially valuable to the photographers documenting historical artifacts or important works of art which work in the field of archiving or preserving of cultural heritage. Now these documents can be saved in a digital form with the resolution of 400 megapixels, - Fujfilm notes. |
