The Fuji G617 is a panorama camera that uses medium format roll film.

Photos are captured in a 6x17cm format onto 120 or 220 film. 120 film yields 4 exposure while 220 produces 8 exposures. The camera features a EC Fujinon SW 105mm f/8 lens, with a 77mm filter thread. The shutter is the manually cocked type, it is located within the lens and made by Seiko. It has speeds from 1s to 1/500 of a sec. plus a bulb mode. The lens has a sync connector to attach to a flash. Electronic flash sync is available at all shutter speeds, M bulbs can be used for speeds of 1/30 of a sec.

The film transport uses a four stroke film advance lever. There are two shutter releases on the camera. One on the front of the body while the other one is on top of the film advance lever. There are two accessory shoes, as well as a spirit level on top of the lens protector. The camera has strap connectors on either side of the lens protector. Depending on how the strap is attached, the camera can be carried either horizontally or vertically.
