VALHALLA, New York, Aug. 5 -- Fujifilm North America issued the following news:

Fujifilm Launches FUJIFILM PROJECTOR ZUH12000
Interchangeable lens projector with 12,000 lumen brightness and 4K compatibility and the industry's only "folded type rotatable lens mechanism" expands immersive spatial design capabilities
-
FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Optical Devices Division, announces the launch of "FUJIFILM PROJECTOR ZUH12000" (FP ZUH12000), an interchangeable lens projector that supports high definition 4K projection and delivers a maximum brightness of 12,000 lumens. FP ZUH12000will be available beginning August 6, 2026. Three optional lenses, including the industry's only[1] ultra-short-throw lens with a folded-type rotatable mechanism (FP-ZL034), will also be released simultaneously.
Equipped with the latest DLP(R)[2] chip in its image processing unit, FP ZUH12000 delivers bright, high definition 4K images. Compared with "FUJIFILM PROJECTOR ZUH6000" (FP-ZUH6000), it achieves twice the brightness[3], making it ideal for exhibitions and presentations in large spaces with ambient light, such as corporate showrooms and commercial facilities. Enhanced contrast also improves the reproduction of deep blacks, contributing to more dimensional and realistic visual expression.
FP-ZUH12000 is the first model in Z Series to feature an interchangeable-lens design. Combined with newly developed optional lenses, the FP ZUH12000 provides high definition 4K imagery not only for immersive spatial design but also for applications that require high brightness in large halls and conference rooms.
In 2019, Fujifilm commercialized the world's first projector equipped with a "folded two axial rotatable lens mechanism" as part of its Z Series. Since then, the company has expanded the lineup with the high brightness FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z8000 in 2021 and the 6,000 lumen FP-ZUH6000 in 2025, which delivers 4K projection with outstanding color reproduction.
Fujifilm's Z Series projectors feature a unique rotatable lens mechanism that enables multidirectional image projection and large screen projection from very short distances. In recent years, there has been a growing need for high definition image projection even in brightly lit environments--not only in immersive museums and event venues with controlled lighting, where the Z Series has traditionally been adopted, but also in large scale showrooms and commercial facilities. To meet these rising expectations, Fujifilm has developed this new model, which supports high definition 4K projection with high brightness 12,000 lumens.
Main features of FP-ZUH12000
High definition 4K projection with excellent color reproduction
* The projector incorporates the latest 0.8 inch HEP DMD[4] DLP chip, enabling high definition 4K projection (screen resolution: 3840 x 2400).
* By enhancing Fujifilm's proprietary optical engine used in the previous model, the FP ZUH6000, the projector achieves superior color reproduction and smooth gradation expression.
* Features Film Simulation modes that incorporate Fujifilm's renowned color reproduction technology developed through photographic film. Five modes--PROVIA, Velvia, ETERNA, CLASSIC CHROME, and CLASSIC Neg.-- enable rich visual expression and maximize the appeal of content across a wide range of applications.
Bright 12,000 lumen images and a lightweight, compact design
* FP-ZUH12000 uses a laser light source to project bright 12,000 lumen images.
* With a lightweight (approx.39 pounds/18.1 kg) and compact body (21 inch/535 mm wide, 165.6 inches/396 mm deep, 7.4 inch/189 mm high[5]), the projector reduces burdens during installation and transportation.
With the first interchangeable-lens design in the Z Series, spatial effects are tailored to a variety of needs
* FP-ZUH12000 is the first model in Z Series to feature an interchangeable-lens design. It supports a total of three optional lenses, including an ultra-short-throw lens equipped with a unique folded type rotatable mechanism. The lineup consists of three optional lenses: the ultra short throw lens FP ZL034 (throw ratio[6]: 0.34-0.41), the short throw lens FP ZL050 (throw ratio: 0.5-0.65), and the standard lens FP ZL125 (throw ratio: 1.25-2.0). The ultra short throw FP ZL034 features the industry's only folded type rotatable mechanism and offers one of the widest lens shift ranges in its class[7]--60% vertically and 30% horizontally. This allows users to shift the projected image over a wide area without changing the position of the projector or the orientation of the lens, contributing to more efficient image adjustment operations. Lenses can be swapped out depending on the application and installation location.
Main features of Ultra short throw lens "FP ZL034"
Folded-type rotatable mechanism enables flexible spatial production without installation constraints
* Supports 360-degree lens rotation together with one of the widest lens-shift ranges in its class--60% vertical and 30% horizontal shift--allowing projection onto walls, screens, ceilings, floors, and other surfaces without repositioning the projector body or changing lens orientation.
* Allows installation with only the lens exposed while the projector body remains concealed, helping create more immersive viewing environments.
* Capable of projecting images up to 400 inches (862 cm x 539 cm) from a distance of just 9.7 feet/297 cm, reducing dead space between the projector and projection surface and enabling more effective use of available space.
Advanced lens design delivers both high image quality and installation flexibility
* Advanced optical construction comprising more than 20 lens elements, two mirrors, and a large-diameter aspherical lens suppresses distortion and aberration, delivering high-definition images with excellent uniformity across the entire screen and maintaining image quality under a variety of projection conditions.
* Compact and lightweight design eliminates the need for external support brackets when mounting or installing the lens. Combined with a robust dedicated mount, this design minimizes image misalignment and supports stable long-term operation.
* Newly developed three-group zoom mechanism provides one of the largest optical zoom ranges in its class, achieving 1.2x optical zoom and covering throw ratios from 0.34 to 0.41 with a single lens. This increases layout flexibility during installation planning and enables convenient image adjustment after installation.
FUJIFILM FP-ZUH12000 Projector and ultra-short throw lens FP-ZL034 will be available early August 2026. For more information, please visit https://www.fujifilm.com/us/en/business/optical-devices/projector.
